from Fostering Kingdoms | Faith at the Heart of Fostering | Support & CPD for UK Foster Carers · host Jessica Smithers-Jones
Feeling spiritually drained as a foster carer? If faith has started to feel heavy, pressured, or performative, this episode willhelp you return to rest instead of striving. In this episode of Fostering Kingdoms, we explore whyfoster carers often feel pressure to “handle it well” and how to stop performing for God and start resting in graceFostering can quietly create emotional and spiritual pressure. The pressure to cope. To stay calm. To be the strong one. To have unwavering faith. But faith was never meant to feel like a performance. In this episode, we talk about: * Why spiritual pressure builds in foster care * The difference between living faithfully and performing faith * How comparison increases burnout * What ordinary, rooted faith really looks like * How to release striving and return to grace This conversation is for UK foster carers navigating burnout, comparison, spiritual exhaustion, and the hidden pressureto manage everything well. You don’t need to be impressive. You just need tostay connected. Fostering Kingdoms offers faith-based support and CPD style growth for UK foster carers who want to lead with steadiness,wisdom, and emotional maturity If this episode resonated, consider subscribing and sharing with another foster carer who may need encouragement this week.
