Monica Schmelter - TV Host - Bridges on Christian Television Network - Nashville

Monica is probably best known as the host of the Christian Television Network’s daily television program, “Bridges.” Broadcast weekly in over 50 million homes across the U.S., “Bridges” has been on the air for more than 18 years. A talk show designed to showcase the hearts, struggles, and triumphs of Christians living everyday life, “Bridges” is a project that represents Monica’s childhood dreams of someday using television to make a difference in the world.

As a young girl, growing up in Detroit, Michigan, Monica regularly daydreamed about being on TV, but it was in high school when that vision really began to take shape.  In Monica’s senior year of college, she began to sense that television was not just a “desire” but a part of God’s plan for her life.

“When I first considered studying television in college, I was thinking that God wanted me to be a news anchor,” Monica says. “It was not until I graduated from college that I realized Christian television was God’s plan for me.”

“Whether I’m praying for a viewer, leading the team, speaking on television or at an event, I am depending on The Lord for strength and wisdom,” Monica says. “I have no desire to be hip, cool, or clever. I don’t have a brand or a gimmick. I speak God’s Word with boldness because of His unconditional love for all people. He is good and He desires that all people come to salvation through His Son Christ. I don’t let ministry or life get more complicated than that.”
