In this episode, we are are joined by Jason Johnson — husband, father, writer, and speaker who shares his wisdom & insight from years of equipping churches and encouraging families in their foster care and adoption journeys. We discuss some current stats & information surrounding foster care & adoption as well as cultural & societal trends toward childlessness. We touch on God's heart for children and some practical ways we can participate & engage in those things. We wrap it up some helpful resources that help us engage the topic at hand.
