What happens when the Church steps into foster care? In this inspiring episode of Partners in Ministry, host Dan Smith talks with AJ Doyle from Wildwood Collective and foster mom Jennifer Hartwig about the incredible ways churches can come alongside families before, during, and beyond foster care. Jennifer shares her family’s powerful 8-year journey of fostering, adoption, and relying on God’s providence. AJ explains how Wildwood Collective equips churches to provide support systems that help foster families thrive — and why this mission matters now more than ever. Whether you’re curious about foster parenting, looking for ways your church can help, or simply searching for encouragement, this conversation will stir your heart and show how the body of Christ can transform lives. Recorded on Thursday, July 31, 2025.
