Today on the podcast I'm sitting down with Scott Fuller, VP of Advancement at Murphy-Harpst, to better understand foster care and the system that supports youth without a family. You'll come to learn why instability is unfortunately often a big part of foster care, and how Murphy-Harpst is working to combat the issue. You'll leave inspired with real evidence of kids thriving in the foster care system too!
Topics discussed in this episode:
- Hear Scott's own personal story of how God lead him from pastoring and church planting to advocating for youth in foster care!
- Hear Scott's testimony story of coming to Christ!
- Understand how meeting the children at Murphy-Harpst helped heal Scott's own heart through shared pain and empathy.
- Listen as Scott dispels the myths of child welfare.
- Understand the instability of the foster care system and why that instability is not only bad for the children, but also for the fostering community.
- Come to learn how Murphy-Harpst is pioneering the first-of-its-kind model in Georgia to provide stability for children in foster care!
This faith-filled conversation with Scott is inspiring! His own personal story has trials and hardship, but also evidence of God's leading throughout! Additionally, Murphy-Harpst's first-of-its-kind model in Georgia of supporting children in the foster care system offers hope for the future of foster care!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
