Bridge of Hope San Diego

Sheri Briggs pt 1

Many people in this world are hurting today. So many people often find themselves in situations where they literally have nowhere to go. They could be escaping domestic violence. They could be facing a family crisis and find themselves homeless. They could be overcoming a drug addiction or coping with literally any type of situation that causes vulnerability and uncertainty. Even fleeing a war torn nation and leaving everything behind.

Sheri Briggs was in that situation. She was a single mom trying to care for her son Nathan. She was not seeking advice or well wishes. She was seeking furniture, pots and pans and things like that to help her give her son the best she possibly could. When she received these things through people who cared, she received strength and encouragement and realized there was a God of Hope that saw her and her son was going to provide for them.

That part of Sheri’s story is the foundation of what now has become “Bridge of Hope” in San Diego. She founded this organization to help embattled women to recover from domestic violence situations. It has grown way beyond that stage now. Amen!

Sheri is also the author of a book, “Relentless Pursuit – God’s Gentle Guidance Amidst the Storm”.

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Sheri Briggs?”

Let’s start with your book, “Relentless Pursuit – God’s Gentle Guidance Amidst the Storm” was just released in November 2022. Why did you write this book and why did you do it at this point in time?

In the beginning of your book, you describe your childhood life of, basically, living in fear. Your dad was an alcoholic. Mine as well… I can relate.  Share with us a little of your upbringing…

Your mother became heavily involved in a religious cult, correct?  How did that affect you growing up?

At what point were you able to escape that mess?

Take us back to about 1989 or so. Can you share with us what was going on in your life at that time?

Where did you turn to find the resources you needed?

You worked your way out of the mess and into helping others manage their messes and achieve their breakthroughs. Can you share was sparked you deciding to become involved in what is now “Bridge of Hope San Diego?”

You started out of your own apartment, is that correct?  How quickly did you outgrow that space?

What services do you offer to those seeking help?

You also work with outside agencies and case workers that will send people to your program for help, right?

Folks, Sheri has lived a life that many people would not wish upon anyone. But, with the help and the strength of God, she not only survived – she overcame and now, she is fighting the enemy right there in the trenches helping others to overcome the same types of adversity. Praise God! Amen!  She has gone through the test and has now turned into a TESTIMONY!  Amen!

I want to encourage you to start this year off right. How about sending along an offer of support to “Bridge of Hope San Diego?”  There is no offering that is considered too small. A little here and a little there, God can multiply it in so many ways that it suddenly can feed thousands!
