    One Family From Every Church Could End Tennessee’s Foster Care Crisis - Kathleen Janson

    Kathleen Janson was the life of the party, but it was all a facade - chasing acceptance through alcohol, drugs, and sex. Then a miraculous thing happened, Jesus met her with love and grace, offering her freedom and a whole new life. Today, Kathleen and her husband are the parents of two children adopted through the foster care system. She is the author of The Gift of Desperation: The True Story of God’s Grace Alive in a Life and the president of The One Child, whose mission is to eradicate the foster care system, one foster family at a time. There are 8,000 foster care children in Tennessee, and only 4,000 foster families stepping up. However, if one family from each of the churches in Tennessee said yes to a child, the foster care system would be eradicated. Kathleen is laser-focused on making this happen through educating and equipping the body of Christ. TAKEAWAYS Kathleen’s organization focuses specifically on equipping local churches to get involved with foster care The One Child’s plan consists of several phases and includes addressing the real problem of kids who age out of the system Kids who are in the juvenile detention center are there because of past trauma The solution for helping foster youth?

    Newborn’s Brain Hemorrhage Caused by Nanny Led to CPS Nightmare for Mother - Rachel Bruno

    When Rachel Bruno rushed her screaming seven-week-old newborn to the hospital, they told her he had a cranial fracture and a brain hemorrhage. It was a horrifying situation, made even worse by the fact that Rachel suspected that her nanny had been the one to potentially inflict this blunt-force trauma on her son. Little did Rachel know that she was the target of an unfair CPS investigation that would result in years of polygraphs and even potential jail time if charges had been pressed. From the state kidnapping of her 20-month-old son to the trauma of watching her newborn fight for his life after such a severe injury simultaneously, Rachel is a survivor of CPS gone wrong and administrative court overreach. She is an author, speaker, and advocate who warns about the victimization that can come at the behest of the court system and the state child welfare system. TAKEAWAYS Administrative court is not a constitutional court - it is therefore very hard to get a fair trial because they make their own rules In Rachel’s case, the nanny was not investigated for abuse, even though Rachel had to endure thorough questioning Her 20-month-old son at the time was forcibly removed by CPS at 2am and given many tests and vaccines without the parents’ consent Rachel founded a non-profit organization, The Giver Of Light, keeping parents and children protected from the corrupt child welfare system 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Tuttle Twins (get 15% off with code TINA15): https://bit.ly/4xLpJjL Fractured Hope book: https://amzn.to/4whb3Ho The Giver of Light: https://thegiveroflight.org/ Adoption and Safe Families Act: https://bit.ly/4z4WmK0 Couple Kills 2 Adopted Kids: https://bit.ly/4wKPShL Home School Legal Defense Association: https://bit.ly/3TYpYIQ 🔗 CONNECT WITH RACHEL BRUNO Website: https://rachelbruno.com/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/3S0TAVg Instagram: https://bit.ly/4hlmpWR X: twitter.com/rachelbruno 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Equipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

    Ministry Offers Critical Supplies for Foster, Kinship, Adoptive Families - Anthony Poteet

    What happens when a foster family gets a phone call that three siblings need a safe place to stay immediately? What if they don’t have the supplies - like shoes, car seats, or clothing - that they need? Anthony Poteet has been through this process, and he recognized that foster care parents need a strong support system to help provide some integral items to smooth this transition. Therefore, he founded the Foster Families Assistance Network. He is the executive director of this incredible organization, which works hard to provide the items to foster families taking in kids who have been in a state of in-between, bouncing from home to home, in a chaotic world driven by the coldness of a clinical state system. Parents need to bond with these kids immediately after they arrive, not worry about getting supplies. TAKEAWAYS Once a child is in state custody, they are essentially being parented by the government State child welfare workers, like CPS or DCS, can rush the process of placing a child in a home, causing chaos and trauma as a result Foster Families Assistance Network has a resource center in Henderson, Tennessee, that provides critical items for foster families There is a shortage of foster homes and a shortage of competent workers in the state system 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Pop Culture Purge Tour: text TOUR to 55444 8,500 Kids in TN Foster Care: https://bit.ly/4z2TP2N 🔗 CONNECT WITH ANTHONY POTEET Website: https://fosterfamilyassistance.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FFAN16 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Equipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/ Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook Institute for Creation Research: http://icr.org/tina 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

    After Losing Daughter, Dad Dedicates His Life to Saving 60 Foster Kids - Dr. John DeGarmo

    Dr. John DeGarmo lost his firstborn daughter at birth. It was a devastating moment that fueled the rest of his life - a life devoted to caring for children in the foster care system. John is the director and founder of the Foster Care Institute and the author of 13 books. He and his wife have been foster parents to more than 60 children, providing a loving household for kids who have suffered greatly amid a variety of troubled or toxic homes. John talks about the deep joy it brings by giving foster kids the gift of love and kindness. The end goal of foster care, he says, is not adoption, but reunification. However, foster care can lead to adoption in some cases, as it did for himself and his wife three times over! Between mental health problems among youth and the many kids who are struggling in horrific home environments, the next mission field for Christians may be as close as the kids next door. TAKEAWAYS There are more than 120,000 foster kids up for adoption in the U.S. John says fostering is the most rewarding but the most difficult thing he’s ever done If you can’t foster, you can get involved by donating items and clothing to kids in need, connecting with a local school, or mentoring children The local church should have programs to help foster kids - there is a huge need for this 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the CCM App: https://bit.ly/41P6iIj Children in Need.

    How Homeschooling and Homesteading Create Stronger Kids for Christ - Cassandra Armstrong

    Cassandra Armstrong lived a life riddled with tragedy and pain. It wasn’t until her mother died that she realized something striking: she had never learned how to process her grief. She had created a shell of protection around herself rather than dealing with past trauma. Thanks to God’s grace, her mother’s passing catalyzed a major life redirection: finding peace and stability in the Word of God. Today, Cassandra is a wife, mom, writer, and homesteader. She discusses the incredible benefits of homeschooling on a homestead in the beautiful state of Maine. She works hard to instill values in her kids that reflect the truth of Scripture - values that will prepare them for the harsh realities of a world in turmoil. TAKEAWAYS When you are considering a big decision, ask yourself if it aligns with Scripture Don’t just survive grief; go through it and deal with it Homeschooling and homesteading foster independence, servanthood, and confidence You’re not the only person with a chaotic or messy story - everybody is dealing with some kind of pain 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/4tw5SCG Growth in the Grief book: https://bit.ly/4vZW2Jy 🔗 CONNECT WITH CASSANDRA ARMSTRONG Website: https://cassandraarmstrongbooks.com/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/3RuorJU Instagram: https://bit.ly/3S4sf4G YouTube: https://bit.ly/4w6bdkO 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Redemption Shield (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4ijBXXX   Artza (get 20% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3H0uUGG WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Tiny Revival (get 10% off with code TINA): https://tinyrevival.com/TINA   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

    Teen Evangelist Shares How to Raise Kids Who Detect Lies and Stand for Truth - Mason Smith

    Trapped in a vortex of lies and addiction, Mason Smith was ready to take his own life…until Jesus intervened. He made a deal with the Lord and asked Him to give him a life worth living - a request that has been fulfilled many times over. As a young evangelist, Mason’s incredible testimony strikes a chord with teens and young adults. Despite being raised in a Christian household, he reflects on how he fell prey to the lies of the Devil, and how Christ rescued Him out of that abyss, allowing him to be in a deep relationship with his Savior, rather than a mere intellectual observer. Mason shares his advice, based on life experience, about how parents can go deep with their kids and help guide them in a way that will prepare them for real temptations and challenges they will face in life. Don’t invest in a wall of protection; invest in the child, Mason says. TAKEAWAYS If your children know the truth, they will follow the truth Pray over your children and speak Biblical truth into their lives every day and drench your children in truth so they can recognize deception Spend time every day reading the Word of God and talking with Him Don’t be afraid to be counterculture - stand out from the perversity of this fallen world 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the CCM App: https://bit.ly/41P6iIj 🔗 CONNECT WITH TORCHBEARERS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetorchbearers_/ Show: https://bit.ly/3OBT2DQ 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina  Institute For Creation Research: https://www.icr.org/tina RogersHood (use code TINA for 10% off): https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tina 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
