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.

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.

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.
