Ep 2037: Our Collective Call to Care

Get a high-level overview of fostering with Jim & Martha Brangenberg. They are joined by Cindy King, Equipping Director at Keystone Family Alliance in Pennsylvania. Cindy shares her personal journey into fostering, influenced by her upbringing and her husband's involvement as a foster care case worker. The conversation delves into the challenges of fostering and adoption. Since the government is not great at parenting, it's imperative that the Church steps up to care for the widows and orphans, as expressed many times in God’s Word. 

Cindy sheds light on the dire state of the foster care system nationwide, emphasizing the urgent need for support and advocacy within communities. One big issue she’s seen firsthand is high caseworker turnover and reminds us that caseworkers need our support too. Studies show that with every change in caseworker, the chances of a child leaving the foster care system get slimmer and slimmer.  

Fostering is a specific calling but caring for children in the foster care system is a mandate from God. Listen and pray about how you can get involved in fostering or supporting foster families.
