Let My People Go: How We Can Choose Freedom in a World of Suffering with Raleigh Sadler

Cooldown Conversations

On this episode of Cool Down Conversations, Paxton Ballard speaks with Raleigh Sandler, the founder of Let My People Go and host of Mercycast. Raleigh recounts his experience of working with victims of sex trafficking and how he has learned that healing is possible, but it's often messy. Raleigh shares his story of how he drifted into becoming a pastor and his mission to help people understand the dangers of human trafficking and how public figures like, Andrew Tate, are part of the problem. He encourages listeners to choose freedom and to be a part of the solution.
