Listen "About How Two Foster Moms Built Faithful Community"
Episode Synopsis
What if the friend you’ve been praying for is waiting on the other side of a plan you almost canceled? That’s where our story begins: two foster moms, a quiet resource center, and a nudge that turned loneliness into a lifeline. We trace the path from isolation to real community and talk honestly about what it takes to keep going when the work of fostering feels anything but rewarding.We open up about our “why”—one of us adopted as an infant and later called deeper on a mission trip, the other moved by serving at an orphanage and learning to wait for unity in marriage. We explore how faith confirmations, counseling with trusted leaders, and time brought our husbands onto the same page. Then we get practical about the hard parts: trauma behaviors that stack on normal kid chaos, visit schedules that can trigger setbacks, and the days when it feels like nothing you do lands. Expect frank talk about safety, burnout, and how to make decisions that honor both conviction and capacity.What keeps us steady? Scripture woven into everyday moments and a “book of remembrance” that catalogs answered prayers when our memories are short. We share the verses that cut through fear and spiral, the weekly rhythms that make support tangible, and simple habits for choosing joy on days when joy feels like a stretch. If you’re considering fostering, already in the thick of it, or just craving deeper friendship, this conversation offers hope with clear eyes and practical takeaways.If this resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review to help more women find these stories. Your voice helps build the community we’re all seeking.We love to hear from you! Send us a text
