Episode 85 | Loving Our Neighbors, Part 5: Foster Care & Families In Crisis

Season 1, Episode 85

May 25, 2022 • Autumn Gardner, Becky Braman, Jen Shepard

Love of neighbor is an imperative in the Old Testament law and in Jesus' own teaching on the continued moral ramifications of the law. Jesus depicts the love of neighbor as a sacrificial, costly act, reminiscent of his own love for us. Jen Shepard and Becky Braman join Autumn on the podcast to discuss the realities of foster care in Colorado, the Safe Families program, and how intentional compassion compels them to act on behalf of children and families in crisis.
