Guest hosting on Living Inspired - tomorrow!


Margaret will be a guest host on Tricia Goyer's weekly radio program, Living Inspired tomorrow. Margaret will be interviewing Brittney Thomas.

For those of you who don't know who Brittney is, let me fill you in:

After surviving one of the nation’s first and deadliest school shootings, Brittney developed an untamed passion for social justice issues across the globe.

It was in Cambodia while working in water purification and health education programs that Brittney was first exposed to the underground world of human trafficking. Upon returning to the states to continue her education, Brittney soon discovered that modern-day slavery was happening right in her own backyard…and from there the rest is history! Brittney received her Masters in Public Health, became a member of the Lexington, KY Human Trafficking Task Force and soon found herself as the state director for the “Not For Sale Campaign”.

Brittney has been a guest speaker at awareness events and educational seminars on issues regarding school violence and human trafficking. To learn more about Brittney visit her blog, Lopsided Halos!




Brittney shares her story in Pearl Girls: Encountering Grit, Experiecing Grace. Margaret will be giving away a copy of the book. Please leave a comment on the show post here: http://toginet.com/shows/livinginspired/articles/193 to win!

Despite these challenges, she has relentlessly sought ways to stay positive and live joyfully no matter what life dishes out. Her deep sense of peace and joy in life has inspired millions of people to want to know what she has learned about finding joy in a crazy world.Her message of falling down and getting up—in life, at an Olympic ski race, or in business—has been sought after by CEOs, recognized in the White House, celebrated on a Starbucks Cup and honored with a doctoral degree for her lifetime commitment to motivating people.
