Why We Heal in the Presence of Others | Dr. Curt Thompson

Dr. Curt Thompson joins Austin and Callie for a powerful conversation on what it truly means to be known, loved, and transformed in community. Drawing from neuroscience, spiritual formation, and years of clinical practice, Dr. Thompson explains why healing requires more than information—it requires embodied relationships where we allow ourselves to be seen. Together, they explore the intersection of faith, mental health, trauma, and the foster care journey, offering deep encouragement for pastors, caregivers, and anyone longing for wholeness. This episode is a reminder that we’re shaped through connection, and we don’t have to walk the road alone. Learn more about WinShape Homes [https://homes.winshape.org/]. Follow us on socials.

Legacies of Faith and the Journey Beyond Foster Care | Callie Priest & Austin Ludwig

In the final episode of our first season, hosts Austin Ludwig and Callie Priest reflect on the legacy of the Cathy family and the origins of WinShape Homes, while sharing their personal journeys that shape their passion for mobilizing the Church to care for children in foster care. Austin, a former foster youth, shares his testimony and the pivotal role local churches played in his journey toward healing and restoration. Callie reflects on her years of experience in global missions, exploring how those experiences formed her conviction that the Church has a central and irreplaceable role in foster care. This episode offers listeners a more personal look at our hosts, while also unpacking the heart and vision behind WinShape Homes—why we believe the foster care crisis is not only a social challenge, but a discipleship opportunity. It’s a conversation about calling, community, and how the Church can be activated to care well for children, families, and one another. Learn more about WinShape Homes [https://homes.winshape.org/].

episode Inside Foster Care: The Role of Licensing Agencies and Social Workers | LaQuisha White artwork

Inside Foster Care: The Role of Licensing Agencies and Social Workers | LaQuisha White

What do social workers really experience on the front lines of child welfare? What misconceptions follow them—and how can we support the men and women who walk alongside vulnerable children every day? And what exactly does a licensing agency do in the foster care journey? In this episode, we sit down with LaQuisha White, Director of Foster Care at WinShape Homes, whose years of experience in social services, mental health, and child welfare offer a grounded and compassionate perspective. LaQuisha helps us unpack what it truly means to be a social worker—the challenges they carry, the unseen burdens they bear, and the essential role they play in helping children and foster families flourish. We also explore the purpose of child placing agencies, how they equip families to be prepared for fostering, and the ongoing support they provide long after a child is placed. Whether you’re already fostering, considering taking the first step, or simply want to better understand the people working tirelessly in this space, this conversation will encourage, inform, and remind you of the power of supporting those who care for kids.

episode When Callings Collide: Navigating Foster Care in Marriage | Sunny & Caleb Lampert artwork

When Callings Collide: Navigating Foster Care in Marriage | Sunny & Caleb Lampert

Is foster care a personal calling, an act of Christian obedience—or both? How do you know if you’re ready? And what happens when one spouse feels called to foster, but the other doesn’t?  In this episode, we sit down with Caleb and Sunny Lampert, foster and adoptive parents of four, for an honest conversation about the realities of fostering. They share how their individual callings didn’t always align in marriage, and what it looked like to move from hesitation to wholehearted commitment.  The Lamperts open up about the surprising truths people don’t often talk about, the challenges and joys of fostering, and the wisdom they’ve gained through lived experience. If you’ve ever wondered what fostering really requires—or how faith shapes the journey—this episode is for you.  Learn more about WinShape Homes [https://homes.winshape.org/]. Follow us on socials.

episode What the Church Believes Shapes How Kids Are Loved | Léonce Crump artwork

What the Church Believes Shapes How Kids Are Loved | Léonce Crump

How does our eschatology shape the way we live right now? What determines how we define revival—and what might happen within the foster care system if a genuine revival broke out today? Why are some pastors hesitant to launch a foster care ministry, and how can those barriers be thoughtfully and pastorally overcome?  In this conversation, we explore foster care through the eyes of a pastor. Léonce Crump, lead pastor of United Church in Atlanta, brings a rich blend of experience to the table—as an author, international speaker, former professional athlete, and someone who has worked within the child welfare space. His unique vantage point makes for a challenging, insightful, and deeply needed dialogue.  To learn more about Léonce Crump's ministry, visit: https://www.leoncecrump.com/  Follow Léonce on socials: https://www.instagram.com/leoncecrump/  Learn more about WinShape Homes [https://homes.winshape.org/].

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
