An Incredible Honor: 40 Years of Restoration Featured on the Encounter Show
For nearly four decades, Mission Gate Ministry has stepped into the darkest places to bring hope, structure, and lifelong restoration. We are deeply honored to share that our Co-Founder and Executive Aftercare Director, Trish Mathes, was recently invited to sit down with pioneering host Judy Redlich on KSIV’s acclaimed Encounter Show.
In this powerful interview, Trish pulls back the curtain on the mission, vision, and rich history of our in-prison ministry and residential aftercare programs here in the St. Louis area.
The Power of Shared Mission
This conversation was truly special because of the incredible woman behind the microphone. Host Judy Redlich has spent her life blazing trails in St. Louis media. As a journalist, psychotherapist, and Certified Christian Life Coach, Judy has broken barriers across television and radio for over twenty years. Her life work has been centered on a single thread: helping people tell their stories and discover their highest potential.
When Judy’s passion for advocacy met Trish’s 40-year heart for prison aftercare, the result was a deeply moving conversation about faith, grit, and true life transformation.
Whether you have been a supporter of Mission Gate for decades or are just learning about our residential programs for men, women, and children, this broadcast will give you a profound look at the lives being changed right in your backyard.
