Behind the Intervention Pillar: Reaching Women Facing Exploitation in Greenville
In this powerful episode of Ashes & Beauty, we go behind the Intervention pillar of Switch to uncover what it truly looks like to reach women facing sex trafficking and exploitation in Greenville, SC.
Our guest from the Intervention Team, Christie, shares the most common questions they receive — including how outreach works, what happens during a club visit, and why a strip club would ever allow Switch to come through their doors. You’ll hear the truth about vulnerability, grooming, and how exploitation often hides in plain sight.
We also dive into her personal story: how she first became aware of trafficking, the moment she realized God was calling her into this ministry, and the prayer that changed everything — asking God to “give me a life I’m scared to live.”
This conversation shines a light into some of the darkest places in our community and shows what hope and presence can do when Intervention meets women right where they are.
