She laughs big and she serves the Lord.

This perfectly describes today\u2019s\xa0podcast guest, Kristi Griem.

From the moment I met Kristi, she impressed me with her\xa0passion to free people\u2013women from sex trafficking, children from injustice and families from poverty.

Having followed the journey God has taken her on the last few years, I wanted to share the story with y\u2019all.

My first goal is to inspire you to\xa0see how your past experiences intersect with your passions/talents, to be used for His glory. Your personal \u201cwork of worth\u201d.

The second goal is to introduce you to a\xa0new way of buying gifts and products. Kristi connects international artisians (trying to break the poverty cycle or rehabilitate from atrocities) with the American market. Philanthropic\xa0entrepreneurship.

As current\xa0COO at\xa0Work of Worth International,\xa0\xa0Kristi asked me to look over the products being sold\xa0and put pieces together I loved creating a collection you would love too.

I felt all sorts of fancy getting to \u201ccurate\u201d. . .thought only designer types do such things. Here is the little collection I\u2019ve gathered together. If you are interested in any of the pieces (ranging from $10 to $30), just\xa0click here.

In this episode\xa0we chat about:

• How growing up in Panama & Nicaragua contributed to Kristi\u2019s familiarity with international living.
• How international mission approaches have changed.
• The use of social entrepeneurships to build relationships before sharing the gospel.
• The unique skills and care Freeset offers gals who have been rescued from sex trafficking
• The impact of emotional and physical trauma on the girls who are rescued, and their inability to follow complex directions.
• How God used a horrible tragic airplane crash to shine a light on the FreeSet ministry. . .beauty from ashes.
• The way the Lord led Kristi to a new opportunity with Work of Worth
• How she already had relationships with distributors to connect with international artisans.
• God using the intersection of your gifts/talents and your past experiences for His glory. . .there\u2019s no \u201cjust\u201d anything. No small thing in the Kingdom.

You know what you\u2019re passionate about when your heart beats fast. \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0-Kristi Griem-
