Looking Back, Standing Firm, Moving Forward {Eps 100}

This isn’t just another episode… it’s a milestone. Today we celebrate 100 episodes of conversations where faith, family, and identity intersect — and where God’s truth and love meet in powerful ways.

When The Bridge Between Us began, the goal was simple:
✅ Help one parent feel less alone.
✅ Give one family hope.
✅ Keep one heart connected to Jesus.

God has done that — and so much more.

In this special episode, Melinda looks back at key lessons learned from the past 100 conversations, honors the guests and listeners who have made this community what it is, and shares four powerful reminders for standing firm in God’s truth while loving without fear.

4 Key Takeaways from 100 Episodes

1. Never underestimate the power of listening. Testimonies build faith, compassion, and wisdom for how to pray for and love others well.
2. Trust God’s timing and ways. His methods are often unexpected but always purposeful.
3. Grace and truth are not enemies. Both are essential for real transformation.
4. We’re not so different from those we’re praying for. Healing starts with letting God minister to our own hearts.

Daniel 11:32b — “But the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.”
