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.

107. Honoring National Adoption Month: Real Stories from Hope Bridge Staff
This November, in honor of Adoption Awareness Month, we’re sharing real stories on the Restoried Podcast about foster care and adoption. Adoption isn’t just paperwork. It’s a journey of faith, trust, and transformation. In this episode, some of our Hope Bridge staff share their own adoption experiences, showing both the challenges they’ve faced and the incredible joys that have shaped their families.
Through honest conversation and reflection, you’ll hear what it really means to trust God’s plan and step into the calling He has for your life. These stories aren’t about logistics. They’re about God’s heart, His love for every child, and the beautiful ways He brings families together.
Whether you’re a foster or adoptive parent, thinking about saying “yes” to this calling, or just want to understand the heart behind this ministry, this episode will inspire you to see the world, and children, through God’s eyes. It’s a reminder that while the journey has its challenges, it’s also full of joy, hope, and life-changing moments.
