ReStoried
What kind of stories come to mind when you think of foster care?
Many stories are filled with heartbreak, pain, and sorrow. But what if we could step in and see them turned into stories of hope?
Hope Bridge is on a gospel-led mission to transform the foster care landscape in Ohio. We're here to raise awareness and empower churches and communities to step into action by supporting vulnerable children and families in their local communities.
We’re certainly not the Author of these stories, and it’s true that we can't change the past, but we are called to be key characters in THE story that God has written for His creation.
His is a story of redemption and restoration, a story of HOPE.
In this podcast, we will share how we link arms with churches, county workers, foster families, and those in the community to rewrite the narrative for vulnerable children and families.
We’ll be shining a light on stories of hope, redemption, and transformation and sharing practical ways that you can step in and get involved.
Subscribe now, and together, let's make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Welcome to "ReStoried," a podcast by Hope Bridge.

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. But what does it really mean to commune with God in prayer?
Prayer is more than words. It’s pushing back against the darkness. 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 up:
- Prayer Night with Bishop W.C. Martin — Bishop Martin, from Possum Trot, will be joining us to lead a powerful evening of prayer for vulnerable children and families.
- Hope Bridge Prayer Network — By joining the Prayer Network, you become part of a movement inviting God’s presence and power into the lives of children and families in need. As a prayer partner, you’ll receive monthly prayer update emails with a Scripture focus, a story, and specific needs; focused prayer prompts that give you a theme each month; and, at times, urgent requests when pressing needs arise. Every prayer matters, and your voice makes a difference.
