Manage episode 489376686 series 2794090
This episode features the powerful story of Emily Monroe, a front desk team member at the Hope Center, who brings a deep sense of empathy to her role after walking through her own struggles with depression and anxiety. Her kindness and understanding help create a place where guests feel seen, valued, and safe—an atmosphere rooted in grace and second chances. “I understand what it’s like to feel like the world is against you and like you don’t have any value,” she shares, reflecting the kind of love that changes lives.
Hope Center Director, Rachel Flenniken, shares how the Hope Center offers more than shelter—it’s a pathway forward. Alongside the Guest Management and Housing teams, the center provides a structured program to help women, children, and families set goals, find employment, and move into stable housing. But the heart of it all is relationship—both with others and with Jesus. This episode challenges listeners to move beyond simply knowing about Christ and to pursue continual communion with Him. You can’t walk with one foot in the world and one with Jesus. True transformation comes when we seek His kingdom first and live out of an ongoing relationship with Him—every day, in every step.
