Welcome to the Hope Center Indy Podcast. When tragedy strikes, community reveals its true character. Chris Mescall knows this better than most. Chris and his late wife Heidi have been pillars of Hope Center Indy for years serving, building relationships, and helping create a community with Jesus Christ at the center. When Heidi passed away, that same community surrounded Chris with the love and support they had both poured out for so long. Today, Chris shares his heart about Heidi’s legacy, the power of Christ-centered community, and why he continues to serve even in grief. As a firefighter, veteran, and longtime advocate for domestic abuse survivors, Chris understands what it means to show up for people in their darkest moments. This is Chris’s story and honoring Heidi’s legacy.
