このコンテンツについて
In this powerful episode of Dream Small, Jason and Whitney dive into the top hesitations people have about foster care. From concerns about their biological children to the fear of getting too attached, they unpack each objection with personal stories, biblical encouragement, and a dose of humor. If you've ever whispered "maybe we could foster…" but were stopped by a "what if," this episode is for you.
What You’ll Hear:
Why “What if it’s hard on my biological kids?” is a valid but manageable concern
The tension between comfort and calling—and how the Gospel calls us to sacrifice
The reality of getting too attached (and why that’s actually a good thing)
Stories of heartbreak, healing, and hope from their own foster journey
Biblical encouragement for feeling unqualified or fearful
Honest moments (and a few laughs) from life with six kids, garage sales, and broken vans
Key Quote:
“If God is calling us to it, He’s already factored in our inadequacy and our stupidity.”
Encouragement of the Week:
Call someone. Speak life into them. Let them feel seen.
Scripture Mentioned:
📖 Isaiah 41:10 — “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God…”
