We've never had anything so crushing happen and yet feel so called to continue on. This is one of the rawest and revealing episodes about our journey through foster care and the story of how God brought us to where we are today!
We hope you enjoy the show!

Customer Reviews
Wow!
How fun it is following your move! I just found your podcast and started at the beginning. I’m the person who bought your house in Rocklin. I call it the Feather Nest and it has blessed so many people! I know that God worked in the timing for us and He continues to work through this home. Thank you for loving it and filling it with the Holy Spirit. I look forward to listening to the rest of your podcasts
THEY ARE BACK
I think 2021 just got so much brighter. When I say I jumped in my chair when the notification came across my phone...I mean I stopped everything to listen. I was just thinking a few weeks ago that I missed you guys and here you are! This podcast shines a bright light on vulnerability and I can’t wait for the upcoming conversations about foster care and parenting, especially in light of Covid. I so much appreciate how open they are because there aren’t a lot of people who do what Eric and Kristy do in a Christian setting.
The One With A Friend Referral
So one day I posted on Facebook that I was looking for a new podcast to listen to and a mutual friend of ours (shoutout to Tonya Chase) recommended your podcast. I binge listened to all of them and I am sad I’m caught up now because now I have to wait so long between each episode. I truly feel like we’re best friends just hanging out. So much so that when you posted you were visiting California again I got super excited. And then I remembered you have no clue who I am. 🤣😂 I do know some of your people though so can we be best friends by association? Lol. Love everything you guys talk about!! Also, I feel we are becoming such good friends I have started watching Friends just so I can try and understand what all the hype is about 😜 Can’t wait to continue to hear more!
