Foster Care Podcast Series
Discover insightful foster care podcasts from the More Than Enough initiative, offering inspiring stories and expert advice to support and inform the foster care community.
The words “not enough” are heard every day in our nation’s foster care system. The More Than Enough Podcast connects you to people, ideas, and tools that will help you and your community work together to fill the biggest gaps in caring for children and families where you live. From ministry leaders and foster and adoptive parents to child welfare professionals and biological family members, you’ll find perspective from people who understand the unique challenges and opportunities of transforming the foster care system. Their experiences and insights will help you and your community move from not enough to more than enough.
This limited series foster care podcast is specifically designed to help you grow your church’s foster care ministry – no matter where you are on the journey. In each episode, you’ll hear Jason Johnson and Jason Weber talk with a real-life church ministry leader about some foundational elements of what it means to be a “fostering church.” These leaders share the diverse ways their churches are caring for biological, foster, and adoptive families, and how investing in prayer, building relationships with child welfare professionals, and casting vision within their congregations has helped launch and sustain these ministries. You’ll gain insight on where to focus your efforts and the encouragement you need to help you take your next best steps forward.
