Episode 21: Through Bre’s Eyes — Faith, Family & Finding Light in Foster Care

In this moving continuation of her story, Bre opens up about what it was like to navigate foster care as a teenager—shifting homes, faiths, and expectations while searching for belonging. She shares the emotional tension of moving between families with vastly different religious beliefs, the impact of being “the new kid” again and again, and the powerful difference one man named Don made through simple, steadfast love.

Jason and Whitney listen as Bre reflects on the foster parents who shaped her, the struggles that challenged her faith, and what she wishes every foster parent understood about the teens in their care. This honest and hope-filled conversation will move anyone who has ever wondered how to love kids from hard places well.

Whether you’re a foster or adoptive parent, teacher, social worker, or simply someone who cares about vulnerable youth, Bre’s story will leave you inspired to show up—because sometimes one caring adult can change everything.
