In this episode, we sit down with Berly Sullivan, Executive Director of MentorKids KY, to explore how one-on-one mentoring is changing the lives of kids and teens right here in our community.
For over two decades, MentorKids KY has been committed to building up the next generation through Christ-centered mentoring. Berly shares how the program works, the stories that keep her going, and why investing in just one child can ripple out into entire families, schools, and neighborhoods.
We talk about:
- Berly’s personal calling and journey to MentorKids KY 👣
- The heart and mission behind Christ-centered mentoring 💬✝️
- Real stories of hope, growth, and transformation through mentorship
- How churches and individuals can play a part — from mentors to prayer partners
- The deep impact of consistent presence, love, and faith in a child’s life
- Why mentoring matters now more than ever in a post-pandemic, digitally distracted world
Berly’s passion is contagious — and her insight into the needs of young people in Daviess County will inspire you to look around and ask, “Who could I pour into?”
💬 “You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to show up. That’s what makes a mentor.” – Berly Sullivan
Whether you're a parent, coach, teacher, youth worker, or someone just wanting to make a difference, this episode is a must-listen reminder that every child deserves someone who believes in them.
