From encountering Jesus in a Toronto prison cell, to befriending a brothel owner in Edmonton, Danielle’s life is shaped by a love for Jesus and a profound advocacy for the disenfranchised and oppressed.
After asking about Danielle’s past, Nicky steers the conversation to the various aims of the organizations she has pioneered. Everything from Brave Global — which exists to mobilize the church to end trafficking and prevent vulnerable girls from being preyed on — to the Women Speaker’s Collective — which empowers and equips women to grow as speakers and preachers — is touched upon.
Danielle’s skill as a story-teller is on full display as she unpacks the origin stories of these organizations. Through it all, the listener is drawn into God’s vision for a better future and inspired to disrupt the present to participate in it.
We hope you enjoy this conversation between Nicky & Danielle.
