Episode 34 of the Revolution of Man podcast was recorded live at our Christian Academic Series at Texas Christian University. In this powerful conversation, host Lance Cashion is joined by fellow pastor Tyler Durham to tackle one of our culture’s darkest issues: human trafficking, and specifically, the critical role the church can play in ending it.

Drawing from nearly a decade of hands-on experience in anti-trafficking work in Fort Worth, Lance pulls back the curtain on how trafficking is not just an overseas issue, but a local crisis affecting communities across the United States—including right in our neighborhoods. Together, Lance and Tyler unpack the real scope of the problem, the systems that enable it, and how cultural shifts have eroded the protective values necessary to shield the most vulnerable.

This episode is both a sobering look at the realities of trafficking and a rallying call for the church to embrace its responsibility: protect the vulnerable, restore the broken, and shape a culture where exploitation becomes both unavailable and unthinkable.

“If we form and shape Christian culture, over the years, human trafficking becomes socially unthinkable.”
