About Our Guest: Rhonda Bear
A mother, wife, daughter, sister, and former inmate 377488, Rhonda Bear has dedicated her life to restoration and breaking generational cycles. As a social worker, founder of She Brews Coffee & Transition Program, and Program Director for Stand in the Gap Ministries, she helps formerly incarcerated women rebuild their lives with dignity, structure, and purpose.
Since 2008, Rhonda has opened transitional housing for people leaving incarceration, beginning with a single women’s house and growing into a network that now includes housing for men, women, mothers with children, and families. In Oklahoma, she has also become a leading advocate for reform, serving on the Board of Directors for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections as the first formerly incarcerated person in the United States appointed to that role.
Rhonda’s work is rooted in the conviction that when a life is restored, entire families and future generations can be changed. Through highly structured programming, practical life training, faith, accountability, and community, she continues to help women move from survival to lasting transformation.
