Hey y'all, welcome back to the Confessions of a Crappy Christian Podcast.

A place where you and all of your crap are not just welcome, you're wanted.

I'm your host Blake G. Shay, and every week I'm showing up with a new friend to talk about

the things we're really great at, the ways Christ fills in the gaps on the things that

we're not, and how he has been faithful to make his power perfect in our weaknesses.

My hope is that you walk away feeling empowered and not alone in your struggles, and that

people sharing their stories pushes you to share yours.

Alright, let's do this.

Y'all, today's guest is nothing short of incredible and I cannot wait for Yachtie here from her.

Holly Hayes is an award-winning author, a recovery ministry expert, and the founder and CEO

of the Sanctuary Project.

A community of advocates who bring hope and healing to survivors of trafficking, violence,

and addiction.

All of these things being a part of Holly's story, which she's going to share with us,

it is so powerful and so challenging, and I cannot wait for Yachtie here.

Holly, hi, thank you so much for coming along.

I'm so grateful to be here.

Yes.

Okay.

I just introred you, but to start out, you have to tell us your story.

I know it is an incredible journey that is probably impossible to tell in cliff notes,

but I cannot wait to hear it, so take all the time you need.
