What Does It Look Like to Be a Bridge? A Conversation with Latasha Morrison and Bri Stensrud

In our most recent Women of Welcome community call, Director Bri Stensrud welcomed Latasha Morrison—author, speaker, and founder of Be the Bridge—for a conversation filled with wisdom, truth, and deep encouragement.

They talked about what it takes to prepare for hard conversations—not with fear, but with prayer and Scripture as our grounding. How do we speak truth with grace—even when it’s uncomfortable? Latasha offered practical ways to engage when conversations get uncomfortable and reminded us of the power of truth-telling, perspective, and Spirit-filled presence.

Latasha shares practical wisdom for navigating difficult conversations, the power of perspective in changing hearts, and the deeply transforming work of bridge-building through faith, courage, and compassion.

One of the most powerful themes of the conversation was the role of lament—not as weakness, but as a sacred, transformative act in the face of injustice and brokenness.

This conversation is an invitation to reflect, respond, and reimagine what it means to be a bridge in our homes, churches, and communities. If you missed it or want to revisit this powerful call, we invite you to watch or read the full conversation below.
