Episode 543 - A Conversation About Hope, Healing, and Foster Care with Scott Fuller of Murphy-Harpst Children’s Centers in Georgia

"An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside Him. Then He said to them, 'Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.'" -Luke 9:46-48   Welcome to The Adoption & Foster Care Journey—a podcast to encourage, educate, and equip you as you care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care, and kinship care.   On this episode, host Sandra Flach talks with Scott Fuller, Vice President of Advancement at Murphy-Harpst Children's Centers, a ministry that has been serving vulnerable children in Georgia for more than 100 years.   Scott shares his unexpected journey from church planting to advocating for children in foster care, along with a powerful story of hope that demonstrates what can happen when children receive consistent care, compassionate support, and adults who believe in their future.   Together, Sandra and Scott discuss the life-changing work of Murphy-Harpst, the importance of community for foster and adoptive families, how trauma-informed care helps children heal and thrive, and the Bible passage that transformed Scott's understanding of ministry and service.   Whether you're a foster or adoptive parent, someone who supports vulnerable children, or simply looking for encouragement, this conversation is a reminder that God often accomplishes His greatest work through ordinary people who faithfully say "yes."   Listen to Sandra's conversation with Scott Fuller on Episode 543 wherever you get your podcasts.   Please be sure to subscribe to the podcast, leave a review, and share it on your social media.   Links mentioned in this episode: https://murphyharpst.org/ [email protected] Free Breath Prayer Download See Available Trainings The Adoption & Foster Care Journey AFCJ on YouTube justicefororphansny.org justicefororphansny.org/hope-community     Email:  [email protected] sandraflach.com Soul Care Saturday—52 Devotions for Foster and Adoptive Moms Orphans No More—A Journey Back to the Father book on Amazon
