101. Spiritual Formation: The Power of Prayer
Today on the podcast, we’re continuing our series on spiritual formation with a focus on prayer. For many, prayer can feel like a last resort or a quick ritual before meals.

It shapes our hearts to look more like His, and it moves the needle in ways we can’t always see. We’re excited to share that Hope Bridge has some incredible prayer opportunities coming...

That made us stop and ask: How can we invite more people to come alongside us in this work. That’s where The Bridge comes in. It’s a new software we’re launching that makes it super simple to get connected. Think ...

96. Spiritual Formation: The Practice of Solitude
We’re back with another episode in our Spiritual Formation series, and this time we’re exploring the quiet, but powerful, practice of solitude. In a culture that celebrates busyness and constant activity, solitude can feel counter-cultural, even uncomfortable.

We’re continuing our Spiritual Formation Series here at Hope Bridge, and this month, we focused on an especially timely theme: Experiencing God’s gift in nature. Whether it’s a walk in the woods, sitting on your porch, or just paying attention to the sky—it all counts. Nature has a way of slowing us down and pointing us back to our Creator. And guess what?
