Returning to Our Role: The Church & Foster Care | Jason Weber

Jason Weber, National Director of More Than Enough at CAFO, joins Austin and Callie to unpack the biblical, historical, and cultural foundations behind caring for children in foster care. Jason shares the story of how he and his wife unexpectedly became foster parents to medically fragile twins, how that experience shaped their lifelong calling, and why he believes abundance—not scarcity—is the truest story of God’s heart for children. He explains how the church historically cared for children in need, why it stepped away, and what it looks like today to rebuild trust and true partnership with state systems. Together, they explore the mindset shift required for churches to meaningfully engage in foster care. Jason offers practical insights for pastors, ministry leaders, and believers who want to step closer to the need and explains why unity within the body of Christ is essential to achieving lasting change.

Countercultural Care: Why the Church Must Move Toward the Vulnerable | David Platt

What does it look like for the church to live distinctly in a world marked by comfort, individualism, and overwhelming need? In this conversation, pastor and author David Platt joins Austin and Callie to unpack the urgent call for believers to embody the heart of God—especially in the work of foster care, adoption, and caring for vulnerable families. With honesty and pastoral clarity, David shares how Scripture shapes a distinctly Christian response to child welfare, why obedience often means embracing discomfort, and how the local church must function as an interdependent family rather than a collection of isolated individuals.  He also opens up about his own family’s adoption journey, the role of the church in supporting foster families, and the transformative impact that happens when congregations step courageously into hard places. This episode is a compelling invitation for pastors, leaders, and everyday believers to count the cost, trust God deeply, and run toward the vulnerable—not alone, but together.
