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.

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.

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.
