What does it look like to step into someone’s moment of uncertainty and offer hope, truth, and compassion when they need it most?
This week on Advancing the Mission, we sit down with Michelle Schoenefeld, Executive Director of A Hope Center in Fort Wayne, to talk about how God is meeting women and families in moments of deep uncertainty and vulnerability. Through compassionate care, practical support, and a commitment to the dignity of every life, A Hope Center walks alongside those facing unplanned pregnancies with hope, truth, and grace.
In this powerful episode, Michelle shares stories from the front lines—of women finding support when they felt alone, of families discovering unexpected strength, and of lives being changed through simple acts of compassion. We talk about the courage it takes to serve in emotionally complex situations, the importance of meeting people without judgment, and how faith motivates the work of offering both truth and love.
We also explore how the local church can partner in this mission, creating a community where women and families know they are not forgotten. This conversation highlights the impact of presence, listening, and practical care in moments that can shape an entire future.
It’s a conversation about courage, compassion, and the kind of faith that steps into difficult spaces with the hope of Christ.
