What happens when faith meets the messy, redemptive work of foster care?
In this episode, Currey sits down with Jamie Finn, founder and president of Foster the Family, to talk about her unexpected journey from blogging mom to national advocate for foster and adoptive families.
Jamie shares how her first viral post launched a movement, what she’s learned about God’s heart for vulnerable children, and the deep theology that shapes her work. They dive into the tension between love and loss in foster care, the hard realities of trauma-informed parenting, and the ways ministry and burnout often collide.
Whether you’re a foster parent, an adoptive parent, or simply someone who wants to live your faith more deeply in everyday work, this conversation will inspire you to see people—and God’s mission—with fresh eyes.
