“Where We’ve Been + What Grace Village Really Is”
Season 2 begins with a long-awaited update from Perry. After months of community questions, shifting schedules, and the Grace Village Project gaining attention in the news, Perry sits down to explain where he’s been — and why he was sleeping outside the night before recording this episode.
In this conversation, Perry breaks down the heart behind Grace Village:
• why it matters,
• who it serves,
• and what makes it different from traditional shelter systems.
Grace Village is designed to support individuals in Mark 12’s existing programs (Pathway Home and Operation Restore) by giving them stability, dignity, and a place to rebuild with both grace and accountability. Perry shares what daily life looks like without a facility — participants rotating through host churches, waking up at 5 AM, carrying all their belongings, working full-time jobs, and then setting up somewhere new each night.
If you’ve been wondering “What is Grace Village?” or how Mark 12 is actively loving their neighbors in crisis, this episode is the behind-the-scenes look you’ve been waiting for.
