  Love Fort Wayne May Podcast: Seen, Heard, Chosen, Loved - Creating Spaces of Hope for Foster Families featuring Brooke & Jennifer of The Cooper House

  May 18, 202633 min

  We’re excited to share this conversation with Brooke Howe, co-founder and executive director of Cooper House Indiana, and Jennifer Johnson, house manager for the Allen County home. Together, they unpack a different vision for foster care visitation, one rooted in dignity, hospitality, and hope. Through welcoming spaces where families can reconnect around kitchen tables, in living rooms, and through everyday moments, Cooper House seeks to model the love of Jesus and reflect His heart for children and families in crisis. Instead of cold offices and sterile rooms, parents are given space to practice real parenting during supervised visits in an environment that feels like home. In this episode, Brooke shares how saying yes to foster care changed her perspective on birth families and revealed the deep need for support, compassion, and relationship-centered care. Jennifer offers a look at the day-to-day impact happening in Fort Wayne and Allen County as Cooper House partners with visit providers and caseworkers to create meaningful moments for families in crisis. You’ll also hear the heart behind the four words that guide everything they do: seen, heard, chosen, loved. Whether reunification or adoption is the outcome, Cooper House is committed to walking with families through some of their hardest seasons with the love of Jesus and steady presence. If you care about foster care, family restoration, and practical ways to bring hope in Indiana communities, this conversation will encourage and challenge you.

  Love Fort Wayne March Podcast: Service, Mission, and Hope featuring Tim Hallman of YMCA

  Mar 9, 202634 min

  We sit down with YMCA association chaplain, Tim Hallman, to trace his journey from two decades in pastoral ministry to building a chaplaincy that thrives on presence, not programs. Tim opens the door on what the “C” in YMCA really means today—rooted in George Williams’s 1844 vision of caring friendship on a factory floor—and how that legacy shows up in Fort Wayne through everyday listening, prayerful support, and a welcome space for all. The conversation widens to a global lens as Tim shares friendships with YMCAs in Jerusalem, Jericho, Gaza, and Nazareth. When war broke out during a planned visit, his team became chaplains to stranded travelers—no quick fixes, just a steady presence, quiet prayer, and the safe space of the Y. Coming home sharpened his conviction that grief can deepen love, and that proximity changes lives. We close by inviting churches and neighbors into concrete next steps—from worshiping in branch spaces to volunteering as chaplains to joining the Good Friday breakfast—as Fort Wayne moves toward a top 10 healthy city vision that treats body, mind, and spirit as one. This is an encouraging, intimate, and honest conversation that you don't want to miss!
