On this episode of ABQ Connect, we sit down with Shelley Repp of the New Mexico Dream Center to discuss the urgent reality of human trafficking in our state and a powerful upcoming event designed to open eyes and inspire action. Shelley shares details about the immersive “New Mexico Human Trafficking Experience” happening April 25, along with real stories that reveal how trafficking affects vulnerable individuals right here in our communities. We also explore how the Dream Center is bringing hope and restoration through safe housing, outreach, and long-term support for survivors. Most importantly, listeners will learn practical ways to get involved—whether through attending the event, giving, volunteering, or simply raising awareness. This is a conversation that moves beyond information to invitation—because awareness leads to action, and action leads to change.

Stanton sits with Steve Reimann to discuss his article that looks at the global fertility decline and highlights evidence showing that Christian sexual ethics—faithful marriage, commitment, and openness to family—are far more life‑giving than today’s permissive cultural norms. It invites believers to see how God’s design for marriage and family not only honors Him but also helps sustain future generations—an encouraging conversation worth tuning into and sharing.
