Wednesday, 18 March, 2026
Foster care is a journey that holds both deep brokenness and incredible beauty. For many families, it can also feel overwhelming to know how to step in and support children from hard places.In this episode, Meredith Brock, CEO of Proverbs 31 Ministries and a foster and adoptive mom, shares insights from her family’s experience with foster care and how the journey has shaped her faith and motherhood. The conversation explores the realities of caring for vulnerable children, the tension of holding both joy and heartbreak, and the ways God often meets families in their most difficult moments.Together they talk about what it looks like to support children with hard stories, how foster care can refine and stretch a family’s faith, and why the church has such an important role in caring for these kids.It’s also a reminder that supporting the foster care system isn’t limited to becoming a foster parent. Whether through respite care, advocacy, or supporting families already in the system, there are meaningful ways we can all step in and help.00:00 Introduction and Personal Background05:53 The Call to Foster Care11:57 The Importance of Community Support17:58 Respite Care and Community Involvement24:07 Personal Growth Through Foster CareConnect with Pardon The Mess:Christian ParentingPardon The Mess Courtney DeFeoORDER YOUR 2026-2027 PRAYER JOURNAL NOWResources from today’s show:Connect with MeredithConnect with Proverbs 31 on InstagramProverbs 31 MinistriesFoster the Family Open a LearningRX centerSign up for Morning MinuteChristian ParentingPardon The Mess is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
