In this lively conversation, hosts Brian, Travis, and Courtney discuss the movie 'Sound of Hope' and its portrayal of a church in Possum Trot, Texas, that adopted 77 kids. They share their personal reactions to the movie and highlight the importance of understanding the context and time period in which the story takes place.
They discuss the need for trauma-informed training and support for foster and adoptive families within churches. They also emphasize the significance of creating a community that embraces and supports these families. The hosts also engage in a conversation around practices and paradigms for churches that are crucial in supporting and retaining foster families well and holistically. They also talk about criticisms they've heard from peoples' experiences around churches that have failed to meet the needs of foster families and make them feel like they belong. The conversation concludes with recommendations for resources and training for churches interested in getting involved in foster care and adoption and caring for their people well.
