In this episode of LAB the Podcast, Zach Elliott sits down with Brent Woody, lead attorney and Executive Director of the Justice Restoration Center to explore the often unseen legal and human work required to help survivors of human trafficking reclaim their lives.

Together, we reflect on the connection between justice and beauty, the Imago Dei, and the quiet, faithful work that happens in the spaces where chaos meets restoration. This episode invites us to slow down, see the human first, and consider how each of us, churches, artists, attorneys, and everyday people, can participate in the work of setting captives free.

In this special Poetry Corner episode of LAB the Podcast, poet and artist Wendy Kieffer shares an original villanelle inspired by The Widow of Nain—a rarely explored gospel story where grief meets resurrection, and vulnerability encounters compassion.

Recorded during National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, this conversation reflects on loss, motherhood, beauty, and the profound hope found in Christ—the One who speaks life where death seems final. Wendy opens up about her creative process, personal grief, and the power of poetry to awaken wonder, restore dignity, and remind us that freedom is beautiful.
