In the U.S., there are over 300K children in the foster care system today. These children are navigating an enormously confusing and often traumatic disruption to their normal lives without a choice in the matter, and that’s why loving and safe Christian foster families are critical — they can function as a much-needed source of support and stability while biological families work to reunite with their children.    This National Foster Care Month, we will be having a conversation with a local Indiana foster family, the Eckrichs. Driven by their faith, they've been foster parents for four years and have fostered nearly a dozen children. They will share what they’ve learned about the best ways to support vulnerable children and families, and they can also discuss how Christians throughout Indiana can play a part in caring for children and families in the foster care system.  Copyright WGNR Radio 2024

What do you do when life hurts?  Everyone needs to know how to answer that question because everyone, at some point, gets hurt. How do you respond when your children make devastating choices? Where do you turn when death robs you of a loved one? What do you cling to when the dreaded diagnosis comes in?  You need more than bubbly inspiration to see you through life’s storms. You need a God who meets you in the blurry confusion of heartache and carries you through to the other side.  That’s the loving Father readers will meet in Amber’s book, You Can Trust God When Life Hurts. An encouraging resource takes readers example by example through the Bible to reveal how God always comes through when His people trust Him in their pain.  Readers will discover how to find faith when things don’t make sense, adopt a hope-filled perspective in hard times, receive grace for when they fail and more.  So, whether they’re navigating hurt right now or fortifying their faith for the days to come, You Can Trust God When Life Hurts will help them live with hope in God no matter what comes their way.

In the book, Rhodes emphasizes that the gospel isn’t just about Christ’s death: “All the events of Christ’s life are part of his saving work: he was buried for us, he was circumcised for us, he was baptized for us. Each has something to teach us. The cross connects not just to every other event in Christ’s life but to every aspect of his ministry.” Rhodes explores Christ’s ministry through the lens of his threefold office as prophet, priest, and king, showing how the cross relates to all three.

Summer is approaching, which means no school, family vacations, and summer camp! These are all fun activities, and yet often parents aren’t sure when (and if!) their kids will be ready to take the leap into an overnight camp.  In her recent op-ed released, Amy Lowe, Director of WinShape Camps for Girls (established by Chick-fil-A founder), encourages parents to be inquisitive about their own anxieties for their kids, deciphering between parental hesitancies and trusting their kids when they say they’re ready.   Amy believes that summer camp is a formative time for girls to grow into strong leaders, and that empowering them now will ultimately shape what our local churches and communities look like in the future!  Copyright WGNR Radio 2024
