In Part 2 of our deep dive into the most common objections to foster care, Jason and Whitney bring humor, truth, and lived experience to the table—literally. From “What if it costs too much?” to “What if the child is a different race than me?” they tackle the fears, the practical barriers, and the misconceptions many people wrestle with when considering foster care.
This episode is honest and real, covering topics like:
Financial and emotional cost
Partner disagreements
Connecting with kids
Lack of energy, time, or support
The brokenness of “the system”
Interracial foster/adoptive families
Fear of regret
And the belief that it “takes a special person”
You’ll laugh, maybe tear up, and definitely walk away more equipped and encouraged to say yes to God’s calling—whatever that may be.
📍 Action Steps This Week:
Pray boldly: “God, if You’re calling me, I’ll say yes—even if I’m scared.”
Reach out to someone who fosters.
Attend a local info session.
Support a foster family near you (even dinner or a yard cleanup goes a long way).

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
