Cat Morgan
Hidden in Plain Sight: Get Empowered in the Fight Against Domestic Human Trafficking
Cat Morgan, Executive Director of Fierce Freedom, brings vital awareness to an issue that often goes unseen: domestic human trafficking happening right here in Wisconsin. With compassion, clarity, and real-world insight, Cat sheds light on how trafficking operates closer to home than many realize.
During this presentation, Cat will also address the growing role of technology and social media in the recruitment and grooming of victims—especially children and teens—and why this has led to a significant rise in exploitation in recent years. Most importantly, she equips individuals and families with practical, actionable steps to help protect themselves and strengthen their communities.
You’ll learn how to:
- Understand the realities of domestic human trafficking in Wisconsin
- Recognize how technology and social media contribute to increased victimization and grooming
- Gain practical tools to help build a community that is informed, alert, and resilient to exploitation
This is an empowering and eye-opening conversation designed to educate, equip, and inspire action—without fear, but with purpose.

Is It Okay to Be Disappointed with God?
In this heartfelt and faith-anchored message, our speaker will explore a question many believers quietly wrestle with: What do we do when life doesn’t turn out the way we prayed it would? Through personal stories of disappointment, unmet hopes, and seasons that didn’t end as expected, she shares how God met her in those hard places—not with shame or distance, but with deeper trust and relationship.
Rather than pushing disappointment aside, she’ll talk about what it looks like to bring it honestly before God, release the weight of unmet expectations, and learn to trust Him fully—even when the outcome isn’t what we hoped for. This message offers encouragement for women walking through uncertainty, grief, or unanswered prayers, and points toward a faith that holds steady in every season.
You’ll walk away with:
- Practical, faith-filled steps to keep trusting God in difficult circumstances
- Healthier, God-honoring ways of thinking about hardship and disappointment
- A renewed perspective that brings freedom, peace, and deeper intimacy with God
This is an encouraging and hope-filled conversation for anyone longing to strengthen their faith—especially when life feels hard.

Salvation Poem Project
We are excited to highlight Salvation Poem Project, a ministry devoted to sharing the Gospel in a way that is simple, beautiful, and accessible to all. Through a short, six-line poem rooted in Scripture, Salvation Poem communicates the message of Jesus clearly and compassionately—crossing language, culture, and generational lines.
What began as a poem has grown into a global movement. Through music, visual storytelling, and free creative resources, Salvation Poem Project equips churches, ministries, and everyday believers to share the hope of Christ with confidence and grace. Their work is a reminder that the Gospel doesn’t have to be complicated to be powerful—it simply needs to be shared.
