Episode 6 | Rescue in the Ruins - Saving Children in the Midst of Grief

How Grief Became a Mission Called Hope's Bridge
2

What if God called you to launch a life-changing ministry while you were still grieving the death of your son? And what if that was an answer to your cry for healing?

Like What You Hear - Buy Us a Coffee!

Meet Amanda Root — mom, accidental foster care disruptor, and founder of Hope’s Bridge, a bold alternative to the broken foster system.

In this raw and vulnerable conversation, Amanda shares how one “Yes, Lord” led her from losing a child to rescuing many.

✅ Saying yes… while grieving the loss of her child

✅ Saying yes… with no degree in social work

✅ Saying yes… to two babies before breakfast

✅ Saying yes… even when the foster care system said “this won’t work”

✅ Saying yes… to starting a ministry with nothing but faith and a cereal bar

You’ll laugh, cry, and walk away with renewed hope that God really does use the unqualified, the grieving, the ordinary — to do the impossible.

✨ If you’ve ever felt like your pain disqualified you from your purpose — this episode will wreck you in the best way.
