In this eye-opening podcast episode, host Hannah Munn speaks with President and CEO of Compassion First, Mike Mercer, and the founder and CEO of Love Justice, John Molineux to unpack the only known strategy that’s measurably intercepting human trafficking before it happens. Rooted in real-time data, frontline intervention, and a bold redefinition of impact, this conversation explores what it means to prioritize prevention—not just awareness or rescue. With insights from global transit hubs, strategic casework, and years of justice work, this episode offers a practical, hope-filled roadmap for fighting trafficking at its source.
Prior to working for Compassion First, Mike was the co-founder of Foursquare Disaster Relief (FDR) and served in various pastoral roles in Beaverton, Oregon. He remains an advisor to FDR International and an ordained minister in the Foursquare Church. He lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Kymra, their three children, an Australian Labradoodle, and a Blue Nose Pitbull. He loves golf and martial arts and is good at neither.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
