In this episode of Knowledgecast, Jack speaks with Kevin Pounds, Executive Director of Bridge Communities, for a powerful discussion about faith in action, community partnership, and the real meaning of leadership. Kevin shares how his journey from ministry to nonprofit leadership led him to see homelessness through a new lens—not as a problem to fix, but as people to know. Out of that conviction, Bridge Communities was born: a faith-driven initiative that equips churches to use their own land and resources to create small, welcoming cottage neighborhoods for families experiencing homelessness. Each community is built around more than just walls and roofs—it’s built on relationships. Through mentorship, partnership, and shared purpose, families are given not only a safe place to live, but also the encouragement and tools to rebuild their lives with dignity. Jack and Kevin discuss how this model is redefining the role of the church in the modern world, showing that the most powerful change happens when believers put compassion into motion. Kevin’s story is a testimony to what happens when faith, vision, and community unite to meet real human needs in practical, life-changing ways.From transforming church properties into places of hope, to empowering volunteers to walk alongside families, Bridge Communities is proving that real leadership is about building bridges—bridges between people, between opportunity and need, between faith and everyday life.
