With stories from frontline interventions, Jesse reflects on the evolution of field work, the spiritual cost of proximity to pain, and the grit required to stay the course. Through honest dialogue with John Molineux and Hannah Munn, this conversation invites listeners into the raw, redemptive heart of justice work that’s both deeply human and unwaveringly faithful. Jesse Rudy is the Founder and CEO of Redeem International, a Christian faith-based nonprofit dedicated to protecting some of the world’s most vulnerable widows and orphans from violent abuse and exploitation. Under Jesse’s leadership, Redeem International has launched impactful programs aimed at safeguarding women and children in Uganda, where one in three widows faces the threat of losing their home and land to predatory land theft.

In this special episode of the Love Justice Podcast, Hannah Munn and CEO John Molineux share game-changing news: the cost to intercept one person from being trafficked has dropped from $132 to $112. But this isn’t just about numbers—it’s about lives. John walks through the behind-the-scenes strategies, culture shifts, and hard decisions that led to this measurable increase in impact. From engineering better systems to reallocating resources based on real outcomes, this conversation explores what it truly means to do more with less—and to steward generosity with integrity. John grew up in Helena, Montana, before attending Taylor University. He first came to Nepal in 2002. Two years later, he returned to Nepal and was inspired to start Love Justice.

In this compelling episode, host Hannah Munn speaks with Eastern University professor David Bronkema and Love Justice founder and CEO John Molineux about moving beyond good intentions to measurable impact. They explore how well-meant charity can sometimes cause harm—and why excellence, effectiveness, and stewardship must be at the heart of justice work.

David’s formal education includes an M.A. in International Relations and a Ph.D. in Sociocultural Anthropology from Yale University. His Ph.D. dissertation explored the history of Protestant missions to Latin America and the legacy of those missions for international development work by Christian nongovernmental organizations. David’s publications and talks have explored the intersection of business, civil society, faith, and justice, with particular interest in spiritual metrics, Business as Mission, religion and development, community development and advocacy, evangelical approaches to engaging the development field, and the informing of anthropological theory from a faith-based perspective. He is coauthor of Advocating for Justice: An Evangelical Vision for Transforming Systems and Structures (Baker Books, 2016) and coeditor of On Knowing Humanity: Insights from Theology for Anthropology (Routledge, 2017).

Paula Cornell is from Seattle and joined Love Justice International as a writer in 2021. Prior to joining Love Justice, Paula spent several years volunteering with Youth With A Mission, where she heard and witnessed incredible stories from around the world of healing and redemption in the face of injustice. Seeing how stories like these could inspire hope, bring understanding, and spur people into action, she began to dream of how stories could change the world. This dream eventually led her to return to college to pursue a journalism degree from the University of Washington and delivered her into the hands of Love Justice, where she is happily learning to write (and now podcast) with an awesome team of people for a cause that she cares deeply about. Victoria was trafficked into domestic slavery in Oman as a young woman. With courage and persistence, she made her own way back to freedom, helping a multitude of other women escape alongside her.

In this challenging episode, Peter Greer (President & CEO of HOPE International) joins John Molineux and host Hannah Munn to explore what it truly means to serve “the least of these.” Together, they unpack the biblical call to justice, the dangers of doing good without discernment, and the power of listening in global development. With stories from Cambodia to Burundi, Peter shares lessons on humility, urgency, long-term impact, and why the gospel must be both proclaimed and embodied. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who longs to live out Matthew 25 with courage, compassion, and wisdom. Peter Greer is the president and CEO of HOPE International, a global Christ-centered economic development organization serving throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Prior to joining HOPE, Peter worked internationally as a microfinance advisor in Cambodia and Zimbabwe and as managing director for Urwego Bank in Rwanda. He received a BS in international business from Messiah University and an MPP in political and economic development from Harvard Kennedy School. Peter’s favorite part of his job is spending time with the entrepreneurs HOPE serves—whether harvesting coffee with farmers in Rwanda, dancing alongside savings groups in Haiti, or visiting the greenhouses of entrepreneurs in Ukraine. As an advocate for the Church’s role in missions and alleviating extreme poverty, Peter has co-authored more than ten books, including Mission Drift (a 2015 Book Award winner from Christianity Today), Rooting for Rivals (2019 Leadership Resource of the Year in Outreach magazine), The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good (named one of the top 40 books on poverty by WORLD magazine), Created to Flourish (which his mom reviewed with five stars and a smiley-face emoji), The Gift of Disillusionment, and Lead with Prayer. More important than his role at HOPE is his role as husband to Laurel and dad to Keith, Liliana, Myles, and London. While his sports loyalties remain in New England, Peter and his family live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

In this week’s episode, Jason Dukes welcomes Danielle Strickland to The Love Justice Podcast. In this powerful conversation, Danielle Strickland and John Molineux share how proximity, empathy, and God’s presence can turn heartbreak into hope. Danielle lets love lead her to inspire, challenge, provoke, and disrupt the present, and to live the future now. Having lived in different cultures and contexts around the world, she celebrates diversity and deeply longs for wrong things to be made right. Danielle practices following Jesus daily. This pursuit has led to exciting entrepreneurial exploits (like co-founding multiple charities and non-profits) and a whole host of failures (that we don’t as often talk about). All of this has convinced her of the deep need we all have for hope, faith, and love. Her deepest longing is to demonstrate what living that boundless life looks like. Danielle has authored seven books (the latest being Need to Know and The Other Side of Hope), has a podcast called The Right Side Up (which recently celebrated half a million downloads), and speaks to people at events all over the world. Danielle leads Boundless Enterprise which launches creative exploits like Women Speakers Collective (liberating voices of women around the globe), IMBY (a tiny home movement IN MY BACKYARD), Brave Global (preventing human trafficking), Infinitum (a way of living deeply), and Hagar’s Voice (support and advocacy for survivors of abuse). Danielle lives in Vancouver, Canada, with her three sons and husband, Steve. Danielle loves getting outside, doing new things, and embarking on physical adventures—and she can’t seem to turn down a free lunch.

Paula Cornell is from Seattle and joined Love Justice International as a writer in 2021. Prior to joining Love Justice, Paula spent several years volunteering with Youth With A Mission, where she heard and witnessed incredible stories from around the world of healing and redemption in the face of injustice. Seeing how stories like these could inspire hope, bring understanding, and spur people into action, she began to dream of how stories could change the world. This dream eventually led her to return to college to pursue a journalism degree from the University of Washington and delivered her into the hands of Love Justice, where she is happily learning to write (and now podcast) with an awesome team of people for a cause that she cares deeply about. Nirmala is a young woman who spent her childhood growing up in one of the family homes of Love Justice. Listen as she shares about beginning her faith journey, which ultimately led to believing in Jesus.
