Episode 251: Bridge of Grace

What does it look like when hope takes root in a neighborhood—and begins to change everything? This week on Advancing the Mission, we sit down with Chris Minier, Director of Development, and Zach Speith, Director of Operations, of Bridge of Grace Ministries to hear how God is at work on the southeast side of Fort Wayne through a mission built on HOPE: Housing, Opportunity, Progress, and Education. In this encouraging conversation, Chris and Zach share how Bridge of Grace is walking alongside individuals and families as they move toward stability, growth, and a renewed future. From providing safe and affordable housing to creating pathways for opportunity and education, their work reflects what it looks like when the love of Christ is lived out in practical, life-changing ways. We also talk about how real transformation happens through relationships—when people are known, supported, and empowered to take their next step forward. And we explore how County Line and listeners like you can partner with Bridge of Grace to help bring lasting hope to a community God deeply loves. It’s a conversation about restoration, faith, and the kind of hope that doesn’t just inspire—but rebuilds. For more information about Bridge of Grace Ministries, visit: Apple Spotify Amazon

Episode 250: 2025 Year in Review

What does it look like to pause, remember, and give thanks for what God has done—while boldly stepping into what He’s still calling us to do? In this first episode of the new year on Advancing the Mission, I take time to reflect on 2025—the stories, the moments, and the ways God showed up in powerful and unexpected ways. From lives changed through our mission partners to the faithfulness we’ve seen in our church family, this is a moment to celebrate what God has already done. We also look ahead to 2026, exploring where God is leading us next and how He continues to invite us deeper into His work. This episode is both a look back and a look forward—both at the podcast and County Line Church. This is a reminder that the same God who carried us through last year is already preparing the way for what’s to come. We talk about Impact Trips in this episode.
