Growing up as a preacher’s kid in a fairly conservative, Bible-belt church, married to a youth pastor who’d never visited a strip-club in his life, and moving overseas originally to help run an orphanage, I never in a million years would have imagined I would be handed a front-row seat to some of the darkest places I’d only seen depicted in seedy movies {movies, which, if I were honest, I would be too embarrassed to watch with my own mother}.
But God has a way of throwing us curveballs, a tendency to write our Story in ways not expected. You can read my own account of how we first got started down the road of undercover investigations into the sex industry today over at one of my favorite sites,
a Deeper Story.
