Apostolos - Foster Care Miracle in Hawai'i - Pastor Brad & Esther McDaniel

In this powerful episode of the Apostolos Podcast, Pastor Brad and Esther McDaniel, statewide directors of Harvest Family Life Hawai‘i, share an urgent and eye-opening look into the current foster care crisis. With the system stretched beyond capacity, foster families across the islands are facing deep burnout—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Brad and Esther speak candidly about the realities on the ground: too many children entering care, not enough supported families to receive them, and the growing need for community to step in and stand in the gap. But in the midst of the strain, they also share a remarkable story of hope—a breakthrough moment they describe as a miracle. After years of distance between the faith community and the state foster care system, God opened an unexpected door for unity, collaboration, and shared purpose. What followed was a powerful shift, bringing new alignment and fresh momentum to care for vulnerable children and the families who serve them. This episode is both a wake-up call and an invitation—to pray, to engage, and to be part of the solution. More info on Harvest Family Life Hawai'i – https://hflhi.org/
