The LOVE JUSTICE Podcast

Episode 39 of The LOVE JUSTICE PODCAST: "Sacred Pace: Why Slowing Down Can Save Your Calling" - with Terry Looper | hosted by Hannah Munn | LoveJustice.NGO

Love Justice International — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 14:00:00 +0000

In this honest and hope-filled episode, Terry Looper—business leader, author of Sacred Pace, and longtime mentor to Christian executives—joins Hannah Munn to share the story behind his dramatic burnout, his spiritual awakening, and the countercultural rhythm God used to restore his life.

Terry reflects on the hidden idols of success, the spiritual danger of “speeding,” and the painful but redemptive journey of learning to surrender control. He unpacks the four-step framework he calls Sacred Pace—consult your friend Jesus, gather the facts, watch the circumstances, and get neutral—offering listeners a practical way to discern God’s voice without being driven by pride, fear, or people-pleasing.

This conversation holds powerful parallels to the work of Love Justice International, where justice work can never be sustained through frantic striving. Just as Love Justice intervenes before exploitation occurs, Terry’s message points to another kind of prevention: slowing down before burnout, protecting the soul before collapse, and learning to operate at God’s pace so mission remains rooted in love—not pressure.

With wisdom forged through pain and humility, Terry reminds us that when we surrender, we don’t lose—we finally begin to flourish.

Episode 38 of The LOVE JUSTICE Podcast: "Why Forgiveness Comes First in the Fight for Justice " - with Matt Smallbone | hosted by Hannah Munn | LoveJustice.NGO

Love Justice International — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 14:00:00 +0000

In this timely and deeply challenging episode, Matt Smallbone—Lead Pastor of Church of the City (Downtown Nashville)—joins Hannah Munn and John Molineux for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of sustainable justice work: forgiveness.

Matt unpacks why unforgiveness quietly shrinks our world, distorts our perception, and eventually makes meaningful impact impossible. Together, the group explores what Scripture teaches about forgiveness as a daily discipline—not a one-time event—and why forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation. Through the parable of the unmerciful servant and the practice of praying the Lord’s Prayer, listeners are invited into a vision of freedom that is both deeply biblical and profoundly practical.

This message carries direct parallels to the work of Love Justice International. Just as monitors intervene before exploitation begins, this episode highlights a different kind of prevention: guarding the heart from bitterness, pride, and resentment—the very things that can derail teams, destroy community, and sabotage long-term mission.

Whether you’re serving in justice ministry, leadership, or everyday community, this episode is an invitation to release the debt, reclaim your peace, and step into the flourishing life Jesus intends.

Episode 37 of The LOVE JUSTICE Podcast: "Healthy Homes as the Foundation for Justice Work" - with Rebekah Lyons | hosted by Hannah Munn | LoveJustice.NGO

Love Justice International — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 15:00:00 +0000

In this deeply encouraging episode, Rebekah Lyons—author, speaker, and co-host of the Rhythms for Life podcast—joins Hannah Munn and special co-host Cambri Driskell to explore a truth often overlooked in justice work: that sustainable impact begins at home.

Rebekah shares how emotional health, marriage unity, and embodied rhythms are not separate from calling—but foundational to it. Drawing from her own journey through motherhood, hidden seasons, anxiety, and vocational clarity, she offers practical wisdom for couples and individuals carrying heavy burdens on behalf of the vulnerable.

This conversation resonates deeply with the mission of Love Justice International, where frontline work against trafficking demands not only courage and excellence, but also resilience, repair, and spiritual wholeness. Just as Love Justice monitors stand in high-stakes spaces to protect the exploited, Rebekah reminds us that those who fight for justice must also fight for their marriages, their margins, and their emotional integrity.

Honest, hopeful, and richly pastoral, this episode is an invitation to build lives—and homes—that can endure the long road of justice.

Episode 36 of The LOVE JUSTICE Podcast: "Human Trafficking is Closer Than You Think" - with Ashleigh Chapman | hosted by Hannah Munn | LoveJustice.NGO

Love Justice International — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000

In this compelling episode, Ashleigh Chapman—human rights lawyer, social entrepreneur, and founder of multiple anti-trafficking initiatives—joins Hannah Munn to share the story of discovering her calling at just eleven years old and spending a lifetime responding to it with courage, innovation, and faith.

Ashleigh reflects on her early exposure to child abuse and systemic failure, her unexpected path through nonprofit leadership and law school, and the conviction that prevention—not reaction—must define the future of justice work. From launching global tools like Engage Together, Justice U, and Freedom Council, to pioneering a B Corp model that scales life-saving solutions through innovation, Ashleigh unpacks how systems, collaboration, and excellence can disrupt trafficking before it begins.

This conversation challenges listeners to rethink justice not as awareness alone, but as responsibility—and invites each of us to see our skills, professions, and communities as essential to protecting the vulnerable. Deeply theological, rigorously practical, and filled with hope, this episode is a masterclass in what it looks like to say yes to God’s call—and keep saying yes for a lifetime.

Love Justice International — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000

In this powerful episode, Luke Wilbanks, founder of Anchor House Coffee in Buckley, Washington, joins Hannah Munn to share a story marked by deep brokenness, radical grace, and unexpected redemption. From years of isolation and despair to a life poured out for community, Luke reflects on how God transformed his story—and how that transformation now shapes a coffeehouse built to anchor souls.

What began as a simple vision for a neighborhood coffee shop has become a living expression of the Church at work: fostering belonging, meeting real needs, and inviting everyday people into the fight against human trafficking. Luke shares why Anchor House chose to partner with Love Justice International, how generosity fuels joy, and why stopping exploitation before it happens matters deeply—especially as a father.

This conversation is an invitation to reimagine what justice looks like when it’s woven into ordinary spaces. Honest, theologically grounded, and deeply human, this episode reminds us that when love refuses to stay idle, entire communities can be restored.

Episode 34 of The LOVE JUSTICE Podcast: "The Rope Runner: When Obedience Creates a Platform for Justice" - with Marissa Groenewald | hosted by Hannah Munn | LoveJustice.NGO

Love Justice International — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000

In this remarkable episode, Marissa “The Rope Runner” joins the podcast to share how an unexpected injury—and a simple act of obedience—sparked a global platform for justice. What began as a creative fitness experiment evolved into something far greater: running marathons and ultra-marathons while jump roping to raise awareness for human trafficking.

Marissa reflects on the “divine download” that connected her unusual calling to Love Justice International, and how visibility, vulnerability, and perseverance opened doors she never could have planned. Through stories of endurance, solitude, and faith, she reveals how God uses what’s already in our hands—no matter how small or unconventional—to protect the vulnerable and inspire others to say yes.

This episode is a powerful invitation to rethink influence, faithfulness, and impact. Whether your platform feels big or small, Marissa’s story reminds us that obedience—not scale—is what God multiplies.

Episode 33 of The LOVE JUSTICE Podcast: "God will Unleash Breakthrough Blessing" - with John Molineux | hosted by Hannah Munn | LoveJustice.NGO

Love Justice International — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 14:00:00 +0000

In this deeply reflective episode, John Molineux joins host Hannah Munn to unpack the heart behind Loving Justice, Love Justice International’s new small group guide—and the spiritual journey that shaped it. Drawing from decades of frontline experience, John explores what it truly means to love “the least of these” with effective action, humility, and faith.

This conversation weaves together Scripture, lived experience, and hard-earned wisdom—touching on pride, forgiveness, fasting, prayer, and the danger of well-intentioned harm. At the center is a provocative conviction: that God unleashes breakthrough blessing when His people reach the neediest with love that actually works.

Through stories of prayer-fueled impact, community forged in sacrifice, and the quiet faithfulness of donors and intercessors, this episode invites listeners to reimagine justice not as activism alone—but as worship. Honest, theological, and hope-filled, this conversation challenges the Church to choose impact, embrace weakness, and trust God’s promises in both this life and the life to come.

Episode 32 of the LOVE JUSTICE podcast: Stories Edition | "A Survivor’s Story and Journey Through Healing" | hosted by Paula Cornell

Love Justice International — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 14:00:00 +0000

In this episode, Paula Cornell interviews Isami, a survivor of human trafficking, as well as a public speaker, a content creator, weight lifter, aerialist, cat lover, and self proclaimed amateur human, professional weirdo. Isami shares her journey from witnessing trafficking as a flight attendant, to realizing years later that she herself had survived familial trafficking, to finding healing, faith, and a voice that now helps others step out of shame and into freedom. Listen in on this powerful conversation.

Paula Cornell is from Seattle and joined Love Justice International as a writer in 2021.

Prior to joining Love Justice, Paula spent several years volunteering with Youth With A Mission, where she heard and witnessed incredible stories from around the world of healing and redemption in the face of injustice. Seeing how stories like these could inspire hope, bring understanding, and spur people into action, she began to dream of how stories could change the world. This dream eventually led her to return to college to pursue a journalism degree from the University of Washington and delivered her into the hands of Love Justice, where she is happily learning to write (and now podcast) with an awesome team of people for a cause that she cares deeply about.

Episode 31 of The LOVE JUSTICE Podcast: "The Missionary Reimagined: How Love Justice Found Its Core Competency"" with special guests: John Molineux and Kirk Schweitzer | hosted by Hannah Munn | LoveJustice.NGO

Love Justice International — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 14:00:00 +0000

In this foundational episode, Love Justice leaders John Molineux and Kirk Schweitzer join host Hannah Munn to explore the DNA of Love Justice’s work—how decades of mistakes, breakthroughs, and humility crystallized into our core competency: searching out the people, places, and tools to maximize mission impact.

Through candid stories from Nepal, early missteps in expat missions, and the evolution of our field processes, John and Kirk unpack why admitting weakness became a spiritual and strategic turning point. They trace the shift from Western-led operations to empowering the right local leaders, the birth of field core processes, and the relentless commitment to impact verification and integrity.

This conversation invites listeners into the backstage of Love Justice’s growth—its tensions, its refining, and its deep conviction that impact—not activity—is what love demands. For anyone passionate about justice, sustainable mission work, or building systems that truly protect the vulnerable, this is a rare, honest look at how meaningful impact is actually made.”

Bonus Episode of the LOVE JUSTICE podcast: "Cost Per Intercept" with special guest: John Molineux | hosted by Hannah Munn | LoveJustice.NGO

Love Justice International — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 05:00:00 +0000

In this special episode of the Love Justice Podcast, Hannah Munn and CEO John Molineux share game-changing news: the cost to intercept one person from being trafficked has dropped from $132 to $112.

Episode 26 of the LOVE JUSTICE podcast: "Charity Without Impact is Dead" with special guest: David Bronkema | hosted by Hannah Munn | LoveJustice.NGO

Love Justice International — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 14:00:00 +0000

In this compelling episode, host Hannah Munn speaks with Eastern University professor David Bronkema and Love Justice founder and CEO John Molineux about moving beyond good intentions to measurable impact. They explore how well-meant charity can sometimes cause harm—and why excellence, effectiveness, and stewardship must be at the heart of justice work. Through honest reflection and practical insights, this episode calls listeners to reframe charity as a bold, intentional, and accountable pursuit of change that truly matters.

David Bronkema is a professor in the College of Business and Leadership at Eastern University and holds the Eastern University Templeton Chair for Christian Service through Entrepreneurship. He is a core faculty member in the Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership program and teaches courses in leadership theory, qualitative research, global leadership, advocacy and public policy, and fundraising. David has been with Eastern University since 2006 and received the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching in 2010. Before taking on his current position at Eastern four years ago, David served in two other roles at the university: as director of Eastern University’s MBA in Economic Development and MA in International Development, and as dean of Palmer Theological Seminary of Eastern University.

David’s formal education includes an M.A. in International Relations and a Ph.D. in Sociocultural Anthropology from Yale University. His Ph.D. dissertation explored the history of Protestant missions to Latin America and the legacy of those missions for international development work by Christian nongovernmental organizations. David’s publications and talks have explored the intersection of business, civil society, faith, and justice, with particular interest in spiritual metrics, Business as Mission, religion and development, community development and advocacy, evangelical approaches to engaging the development field, and the informing of anthropological theory from a faith-based perspective. He is coauthor of Advocating for Justice: An Evangelical Vision for Transforming Systems and Structures (Baker Books, 2016) and coeditor of On Knowing Humanity: Insights from Theology for Anthropology (Routledge, 2017). David is also cofounder and coeditor of the journal Christian Relief, Development, and Advocacy.

David grew up in Portugal and Italy in a missionary family, and after graduating from Swarthmore College in 1983, he spent the next five years in Honduras working with a Honduran Protestant community development organization and with peasant, labor, and human rights organizations. In 1998, David joined the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), coordinating programs first in Central America and then in the Andean region. During his time at Eastern, David has helped create and facilitate a conference on measuring spiritual impact and a Business as Mission collaboration group, and he has served on a variety of boards and as an advisor for development agencies and conferences, currently chairing the Accord Research Alliance steering committee.

He is married to Robin, and they have three children and one grandchild: Emily (married to Ty, with daughter Haven), Jacob (married to Jordan), and Josiah.

Episode 24 of the LOVE JUSTICE podcast: "Helping Those Who Need It the Most" with special guest: Peter Greer | hosted by Hannah Munn | LoveJustice.NGO

Love Justice International — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 14:00:00 +0000

In this challenging episode, Peter Greer (President & CEO of HOPE International) joins John Molineux and host Hannah Munn to explore what it truly means to serve “the least of these.” Together, they unpack the biblical call to justice, the dangers of doing good without discernment, and the power of listening in global development. With stories from Cambodia to Burundi, Peter shares lessons on humility, urgency, long-term impact, and why the gospel must be both proclaimed and embodied. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who longs to live out Matthew 25 with courage, compassion, and wisdom.

Peter Greer is the president and CEO of HOPE International, a global Christ-centered economic development organization serving throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Prior to joining HOPE, Peter worked internationally as a microfinance advisor in Cambodia and Zimbabwe and as managing director for Urwego Bank in Rwanda. He received a BS in international business from Messiah University and an MPP in political and economic development from Harvard Kennedy School.

Peter’s favorite part of his job is spending time with the entrepreneurs HOPE serves—whether harvesting coffee with farmers in Rwanda, dancing alongside savings groups in Haiti, or visiting the greenhouses of entrepreneurs in Ukraine.

As an advocate for the Church’s role in missions and alleviating extreme poverty, Peter has co-authored more than ten books, including Mission Drift (a 2015 Book Award winner from Christianity Today), Rooting for Rivals (2019 Leadership Resource of the Year in Outreach magazine), The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good (named one of the top 40 books on poverty by WORLD magazine), Created to Flourish (which his mom reviewed with five stars and a smiley-face emoji), The Gift of Disillusionment, and Lead with Prayer.

More important than his role at HOPE is his role as husband to Laurel and dad to Keith, Liliana, Myles, and London. While his sports loyalties remain in New England, Peter and his family live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

In this week’s episode, Jason Dukes welcomes Danielle Strickland to The Love Justice Podcast. In this powerful conversation, Danielle Strickland and John Molineux share how proximity, empathy, and God’s presence can turn heartbreak into hope.

Danielle lets love lead her to inspire, challenge, provoke, and disrupt the present, and to live the future now. Having lived in different cultures and contexts around the world, she celebrates diversity and deeply longs for wrong things to be made right. Danielle practices following Jesus daily. This pursuit has led to exciting entrepreneurial exploits (like co-founding multiple charities and non-profits) and a whole host of failures (that we don’t as often talk about). All of this has convinced her of the deep need we all have for hope, faith, and love. Her deepest longing is to demonstrate what living that boundless life looks like.

Danielle has authored seven books (the latest being Need to Know and The Other Side of Hope), has a podcast called The Right Side Up (which recently celebrated half a million downloads), and speaks to people at events all over the world. Danielle leads Boundless Enterprise which launches creative exploits like Women Speakers Collective (liberating voices of women around the globe), IMBY (a tiny home movement IN MY BACKYARD), Brave Global (preventing human trafficking), Infinitum (a way of living deeply), and Hagar’s Voice (support and advocacy for survivors of abuse). Danielle lives in Vancouver, Canada, with her three sons and husband, Steve. Danielle loves getting outside, doing new things, and embarking on physical adventures—and she can’t seem to turn down a free lunch.

Briony has a background in marketing and entrepreneurship that is complemented by degrees in business and social science as well as a master’s degree in development studies. She is passionate about human security in the true sense of the term, and she is dedicated to doing all she can in this lifetime to radically love and care for vulnerable people. Briony lives in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she thrives in the hustle and bustle of the capital city but delights in getting out of the concrete jungle and into nature.

Julius-Lutalo Kiyingi is the REGIONAL STEWARD for EASTERN and WESTERN AFRICA and Police Liason Lead in Kampala, Uganda

Julius-Lutalo Kiyingi joined Love Justice International in 2018 as a project manager in Uganda. Julius brought with him extensive experience from working with other NGOs in areas ranging from transitional justice to refugees, with the latter experience being the foundation for his dedicated work to fight human trafficking. He is very passionate about human rights, social justice issues, and giving a voice to the voiceless. He shares, "The reason why I do this work is simple: to put a human face to the indignity of human trafficking. In Uganda, and many countries in the region, so many victims and potential victims are lured, deceived, and trapped in situations they never intended or imagined. Many of these are young children, many of them from poor rural families—the invisible children we as a society have chosen to ignore for too long. My job is to break that cycle and shed light on one of the world’s greatest injustices.”
