In this heartfelt Mother's Day episode, host Tracy Daugherty speaks with Julie and Gabby—a mother-daughter duo who joined the Freedom Challenge’s 10-year anniversary climb of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Gabby, a medical student, and Julie, a physician and prayer team member, share how their shared passion for justice and deep faith led them on a parallel journey—one physically summiting the mountain, the other spiritually covering the team in prayer. Along the way, they navigated personal milestones, past trauma, and divine moments of healing and connection.

From their first “yes” to the emotional embrace at the summit gate, this conversation explores what it means to step into God’s calling with courage and unity.

🔹 A story of faith, family, and freedom
🔹 Reflections on human trafficking awareness and advocacy
🔹 How prayer, purpose, and perseverance intersect on the journey
🔹 An invitation to step out—maybe this is your time
