Episode 161: Pimps + Pastors

Most people choose one world. Eric Robinson chose both and then spent a career inside the darkest corners of what people do to each other.

A retired FBI agent and former pastor, Eric sits down with Lyndsay to talk about what it really takes to investigate sex trafficking and child abuse — the gap between rescuing a victim and actually helping them heal, the emotional toll it takes on the people doing the work, and the coping mechanisms that get you through when the work follows you home.

This conversation doesn’t stay in the dark. Eric also talks about the cases that gave him hope and why communities have a bigger role in preventing trafficking than most people realize.

This episode is difficult, necessary, and ultimately about what it means to keep showing up for people in their worst moments.
