Today we’re talking about something that can get a little tricky in the foster care space. It’s that moment when a new organization shows up in a community where good, faithful work is already happening. It can feel uncomfortable and sometimes even a little threatening for folks who’ve been there, day in and day out, long before the newcomers arrived.
So the question is: how do we name that tension, and move through it in a way that actually builds trust instead of breaking it? How do we step into new spaces with care—so that unity grows, not division—and so that kids and families are better off because of it?
That’s exactly what we’re digging into today. We start with an exclusive preview of the new audiobook version of Until There’s More Than Enough and then talk with Philip Pattison, the Executive Director of Foster the City.
