About

In this powerful episode of the Resilient Pastor podcast, Glenn Packiam sits down with Christine Caine to discuss the true mission of the church. From her unexpected calling that birthed the A21 Campaign — a global anti-human trafficking organization — to her passion for Propel Women and Ekklesia, Christine challenges the false divide between evangelism and justice. With raw honesty and biblical conviction, she explores how proclamation of the gospel, acts of compassion, and demonstrations of God’s power must work together as one mission.

Drawing from her personal journey, global ministry experience, and deep understanding of Scripture, Christine reframes the church’s calling to care for the marginalized while boldly proclaiming Jesus. This conversation is a timely, hope-filled reminder that the gospel transforms both souls and society.

Key Takeaways

• Evangelism and justice are two sides of the same coin — not competing priorities but essential expressions of the Kingdom of God.
• A plain reading of Scripture (Matthew 25, James, the Gospels) demands that believers care for the poor, imprisoned, widow, and orphan.
• Personal encounter often ignites mission: Christine’s call to fight human trafficking began when she saw her own daughter in the face of a missing child on a poster.
• Women are vital to the Great Commission and must be equipped, empowered, and released into their mission fields — whether in the home, marketplace, or pulpit.
• The global church, especially in persecuted regions, displays a hunger, expectancy, and joy that can renew weary Western believers.
• True resilience comes from waiting on the Lord — exchanging our weakness for His supernatural strength.

Highlights

• “When you look, you can look away. But when you see, you can never unsee.”
• “I am as old-school proclamational evangelist as it gets… Billy Graham 2.0. And yet I also fight human trafficking. They are not separate.”
• “Jesus scrambles all of our boxes. The Kingdom is both proclaiming freedom to the captives and the forgiveness of sins.”
• “While we’re still arguing about what a woman can and can’t do, 80% of women are already in the harvest field every single day.”
• “The fastest growing group leaving the church right now? Women over 50 who feel their gifts are no longer needed.”
• “Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength… Pastors, we must rediscover this divine exchange.”
• “I’m going for Gen Z. That’s where the hunger, repentance, and manifest presence of God are breaking out.”
