In this episode of the Young and Adulting Podcast, Tyler welcomes Karissa—former Young Adults pastor, long-time foster mom, and leader of Christ Fellowship’s Foster Care & Adoption initiatives.

Together, they dive into:

• What National Adoption Awareness Month means for the Church

• The origin story of Christ Fellowship’s foster care movement

• Karissa's personal journey fostering 15+ children starting at age 21

• The emotional highs and lows of reunification, heartbreak, and hope

• The realities of the foster care system (how kids enter it, why the need is so great)

• How one family’s "yes" can change the trajectory of a child’s life

• Why every believer — no matter their season — can play a part in caring for vulnerable children

This conversation is packed with real stories, biblical vision, and practical ways YOU can make a difference.
