Listen "Mechanics on a Mission with Brian Sweatt"
Episode Synopsis
In this heart-filled episode, we sat down with Brian Sweatt, founder of Mechanics on a Mission, to explore how something as practical as a car can become a vehicle for dignity, opportunity, and life transformation. From a post-flood miracle at Lighthouse Christian School to launching a full-blown ministry that gifts vehicles to those in need, Brian’s journey is one of faith, community partnerships, and unshakable hope.Together, we dove into the beautiful, behind-the-scenes stories—veterans surprised with cars on the ice at a Preds game, partnerships with Nelson Mazda and One Generation Away, and the deep, emotional energy poured into every single car giveaway. Whether it's fixing up a donated car or rallying a team of mechanics and volunteers, Brian and his team are on a mission that’s literally changing lives—one vehicle at a time.Key TakeawaysTransportation = Transformation: A car isn’t just a convenience—it’s often the key to holding a job, making medical appointments, and keeping a roof over your head.Partnership Power: From repair shops to nonprofits like One Generation Away, the mission thrives through community collaboration.Faith in Action: Every vehicle given comes with a Bible, prayer, and personal connection—reminding recipients they’re seen and loved.Volunteers Make It Go: Driving cars, managing titles, detailing, bodywork—it’s all done by dedicated volunteers and professionals giving their time and heart.Growth Fueled by Purpose: From 60 cars in 2024 to a goal of 100 in 2025, the growth is big, bold, and faith-led.Everyone Can Help: From donating a car to giving monthly, spreading the word, or just lending a ride, there’s a way for anyone to get involved.Mechanics On A Missionwww.mechanicsonamission.com 🎬 WATCH THE VIDEOWatch all episodes on our YouTube Channel@YouMatterNashville💡 NOMINATE A GUESTKnow someone making an impact in the Middle Tennessee area?Nominate Them Here🌐 FOLLOW USFacebook: @youmatternashvilleInstagram: @youmatternashvilleTikTok: @youmatternashville
