What remarkable journeys have people faced head-on against addiction? Jenny Bushkell invites listeners to a heartfelt conversation with Bradley Williams, CEO of Holston United Methodist Home for Children, and Stephanie Edwards, Director of Family Services. This episode is all about love, fostering, and the life-changing power of saying 'yes' to God's call. Bradley and Stephanie share their inspiring stories of dedication to children in need, recounting how they became involved in foster care and adoption services.
They emphasise the importance of providing a loving home for children who have faced difficult circumstances, often due to the impacts of addiction within their families. Listeners are introduced to the legacy of Mrs. Wiley, a widow who founded the children's home 125 years ago, showcasing how one person's faith and determination can impact generations. The episode highlights the challenges and triumphs of fostering, the support systems available for foster families, and the importance of community involvement.
Bradley and Stephanie passionately discuss how fostering isn't just about placing children for adoption but about loving them and their families, sometimes even creating lifelong bonds. The conversation also touches on the role of churches in supporting foster care and how ordinary people can make extraordinary impacts by simply opening their hearts and homes. If you've ever wondered how you could make a difference in a child's life or how fostering could be your calling, this episode is a must-listen.
It’s a reminder that with faith and community, there’s hope for every child. Could fostering be your next step in making a meaningful impact?
