At Hope Bridge, two of our biggest priorities are supporting single moms and engaging the local church. But bringing those two things together isn't always simple. In this episode, we're discussing a sensitive but important topic: church hurt—specifically, how it affects single moms. This conversation is not meant to overgeneralize or place blame. We are incredibly grateful for the many churches we partner with that do amazing work to support families. At the same time, we also want to honor the stories of single moms who have felt excluded from ministries, overlooked for leadership, or disconnected from small groups. Sometimes, the hurt comes through unsolicited advice that, while well-intended, causes pain. Other times, it's not about what's said—but what isn't. The absence of acknowledgment or representation can leave single moms feeling invisible.God created us for community. Even when that community has caused hurt, the need for connection remains. We talk about the importance of continuing to seek out healthy church spaces, even after past wounds. Sometimes, God meets us most powerfully outside of a traditional church setting—but we have to be seeking Him. Church is meant to be a place of restoration, hope, and belonging. In this conversation, we explore how we can help the Church reflect that vision more fully—especially for single moms.Episode Highlights: Single Moms Church Hurt Church Community How to pursue healing Single Moms Program at Hope Bridge Find More on Hope Bridge:Check out our Single Moms Program July Empower U Registration Schedule Coffee with Mel!Link for Friendly Faces/Spiritual DevelopmentSingle Mom Connection Form Visit Our Website Follow us on InstagramFollow us on Facebook Foster Our Community Instagram

Your story is powerful. As you yield your story to God, He can use it for your good and for His glory. In this message, Amanda Jackson shares her story of a Father's love. She shares about struggles, failures, and victories in life.She loved Jesus and was drawn to Him in prayer from a young age. As a young adult, she realized that the leadership of her church did not value her. She struggled with feeling judged.As she waited for things she prayed for, she began to doubt God's timing. She wanted a husband and a family. She began to trust more in her plans than in yielding to the Lord. The Lord reminded her: "You are not the exception to the rule."There is redemption after sin.The Lord wants you to know that He loves you. First, you are His child. He is your loving Father. Amanda shares her beautiful story of a Father's love and redemption. God makes all things new. Faith is not transactional, it is about a relationship with Jesus.  Jesus said, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father."Marriage and singleness are both gifts from God. Marriage is not a prize to be obtained, and singleness is not a prison to break free from.Here is the truth:"I am loved and valued""I forgive others""I walk in who the Father says that I am... His beloved daughter and now I am strengthening others."Are you surrendering every part of your life to Jesus and embracing the love of the Father?

Hey friends—Carla here! This week on So What Now?, Dex and I sat down with the fierce and inspiring Jena Mehlberg—entrepreneur, mama, survivor, and all-around powerhouse in the beauty world. Jena took us on a real ride through some of the toughest chapters of her life—becoming a single mom in her teens, losing a parent, navigating an emotionally abusive relationship, and the ups and downs of running her own business. And y'all, the way she speaks about resilience and faith? You feel it in your bones. She talks about the importance of existing outside yourself and not letting isolation pull you under, especially in the hardest seasons. One thing that really stuck with me—Jena opened up about her mom, a woman who moved through the world like rules just didn't apply to her. That “ask forgiveness later” attitude? It gave Jena permission to live boldly and never wait for someone else to give her the green light. Then we shifted gears and got real about raising boys. As two single moms of sons, Jena and I got into it: How do we raise emotionally healthy men in a world that often doesn't teach them how to feel? What message are we sending if we keep choosing partners who don't show up emotionally? Dex jumped in too, and we unpacked the tension between wanting to protect our kids from life's mistakes… and knowing we can't. Y'all, if you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough—or how to keep going when life knocks you down—this one's for you.

Send us a textWhen Debbie accepted messages from a man who found her through a tagged Instagram post, she couldn't have predicted the 18-month nightmare that would follow. Her story reveals how narcissistic abuse escalates from subtle control tactics to full-blown emotional and physical violence.The warning signs appeared immediately – aggressive physical behavior on their first meeting, possessive comments, and attempts to control her movements – but, like many victims, Debbie dismissed them hoping things would improve. Instead, her partner isolated her from friends, controlled her clothing, monitored her whereabouts, and subjected her to relentless accusations of infidelity while he was the one being unfaithful. The physical abuse escalated too.What makes this episode particularly powerful is Debbie's candid reflection on her healing journey. After finding the courage to publicly share her story, seven other women came forward with similar experiences with the same man. Her crucial advice to listeners: don't ignore the first red flags, because abusive behavior only escalates with time.Have you noticed controlling behaviors in your relationships? What red flags have you overlooked hoping things would improve? Listen to this vital conversation and share it with someone who might need to hear that they're not alone in their experiences.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launHave you ever wanted to start your own podcast?

Tracy Rodgers shares how she went from living in low-income housing to building a network marketing team of over 45,000 and generating more than $10 million in monthly sales.Tracy shares her raw, transparent story filled with ups and downs, self-sabotage, breakthrough moments, and her return to the profession that changed her life forever. If you've ever felt stuck or doubted your path in network marketing, this episode will reignite your belief and drive.Her Humble BeginningsTracy's journey began as a single mom of four living in a small town. She joined her first direct sales company because it was free to start. Though the products were unattractive and the tools were minimal, she jumped in with hope and energy.She had early success due to her personality, but her unwillingness to get out of her comfort zone caused her teams to collapse. Repeated cycles of starting over led to frustration and burnout, eventually pushing her to leave the industry for a while.The Turning Point in 2017In 2017, Tracy had a breakthrough when a new opportunity reignited her passion. She decided that she couldn't do things the same way and expect different results. That led her to read You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero multiple times and dig deep into personal development.She made a list of 120 names and committed to calling 10 people a day. Although 100 people told her “no,” the 20 people who said “yes” helped her build a massive organization.Facing Rejection and Building ResilienceOne of the most impactful moments was when Tracy got harshly rejected on her ninth phone call during her outreach. It was so discouraging that she almost quit. But instead, she kept going—and that decision changed everything. Within months, her team exploded.Tracy learned that success comes just beyond the point where most people give up. As Simon quoted: “The temptation to quit is greatest when success is right around the corner.”Tracy's Daily Method of Operation (DMO)Tracy believes consistency and intention are key to long-term success. Here's her simple DMO:Write down the 6 most important tasks the night beforePrioritize follow-ups, customer calls, social media engagement, and team trainingCarry over any unfinished tasks to the next day's top 6Break your day into four 15-minute Power Hour blocksStay grounded in personal development dailyUsing Faith to Guide Her BusinessTracy openly shares how her faith transformed her business. She dedicates her business to God and wears her “Prayer is in My Business Plan” shirt as a daily reminder. Surrendering her goals and decisions to God helped her manage stress and find peace in the process.She believes when you lead with integrity, intention, and faith, not only will you attract the right people to your business—but also to your spiritual walk.Advice for New Network MarketersIf you're starting from scratch, Tracy's advice is clear:Take your business everywhere—your mouth is your officeCompliment people and start conversations everywhere you goWeave your product or opportunity naturally into lifeJoin local networking or school groupsFocus on creating relationships, not just posting onlineFavorite Quotes by Tracy Rodgers“Your success is determined by the number of lives you impact.”“Be the best version of YOU that God created you to be.”“Successful people just do the basics better.”Tracy's Go-To Prospecting MethodOld-school still works. Tracy prefers to get prospects on the phone instead of just sending a link. This allows her to ask questions, understand their needs, and present a solution based on connection—not automation.Recommended Books by Tracy RodgersThe Game of Conquering by Rob SperryThe Consistency Pill by Simon ChanYou Are a Badass by Jen SinceroI Will Until by Darren KiddConnect with Tracy RodgersFacebook: Tracy RogersInstagram: @TracyRogersFinal TakeawayTracy Rodgers' story proves that with the right mindset, faith, and action—anyone can create success in network marketing. Her journey from self-sabotage to seven figures is a reminder that consistency, coachability, and faith are the keys to long-term growth.Ready to grow your business and step into the leader you're meant to be?
