À propos de cet audio

The Podcast for Christian Foster Carers. Opening up conversations to deepen our faith, support through challenges and build strong communities. Hi I'm Jess, a wife, a mum of 3 boys & a Foster Carer. I've been a foster carer for over 6yrs, and a parent for 15yrs. I've seen a lot, but also have a lot to learn. This podcast has been created to help Foster Carers see God has big plans for their lives, and how we can take time for our own personal growth and relationship with Jesus as we try to navigate through the storms of life and fostering. It's not easy, but with God we can do anything.Jessica Smithers-Jones Christianisme Pastorale et évangélisme Spiritualité

  • Same Care, Different Systems
    Jan 28 2026

    Something many carers quietly navigate everyday, often without language for it, and it’s rarely discussed, no training offered, no true understanding, just expected to know.

    The reality that every child is different and with those differences come different systems, different thresholds, and different expectations, even within the same authority, but also across multiple authorities, agencies, 3rd parties and anyone else who may have a part to play in the child’s life.

    But we stay consistent in our care, even when everything around the child is fragile.

  • Carrying Responsibilities with Authority
    Jan 22 2026

    In todays episode we are talking to be talking about what it feels like to carry enormous responsibility for a child while holding very little authority to actually shape decisions.

    We have very little input, but we carry the load, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

    If you find yourself in these situations, we would love to pray with you, visit us at FosterKingdoms.com
