In this conversation

We turn the table around and get a previous guest, Dr. James Robertson to host and interview Wendi Park, our regular host and the co-founder of CareImpact. They discuss the mission of CareImpact to bridge the gap between communities and provide care for vulnerable children and families by connecting churches and social service sectors. They also emphasize the importance of slow-moving relationships, challenging prevailing mindsets, and building genuine connections to transform lives.

The conversation touches on overcoming historical wounds and embracing a shared purpose, reminding listeners that building bridges requires introspection, humility, and a commitment to genuine transformation. The episode is a great resource for anyone interested in creating meaningful connections and improving the lives of those in their community.
