Funds of Freedom: Fighting Trafficking, Serving Veterans, and Impacting Lives

This episode of the Replace University Podcast takes a different direction from our usual financial strategies. Michael Lush and the team introduce Funds of Freedom, a new faith-rooted nonprofit dedicated to tackling some of the darkest realities in our world today—sex trafficking, veteran support, and helping families in crisis. You’ll hear the heart behind this mission, why freedom is at the center of everything we do, and how Funds of Freedom will operate differently than most charities—staying lean, transparent, and focused on putting resources directly into the hands of those in need. From supporting organizations that rescue and restore victims of trafficking, to stepping in after natural disasters when communities are most vulnerable, to even paying off mortgages for struggling families—Funds of Freedom was created to be a light in dark places. This conversation goes deep into faith, calling, and the responsibility we all share to use our blessings to bless others. Whether you can give financially, volunteer your time, or simply join us in prayer, you’ll see how you can be part of this mission.
