More Than Enough Podcast The More Than Enough Podcast connects you to the people, ideas and tools that help your community fill the biggest gaps in foster care. Not enough support.

Listen wherever you get podcasts. A initiative. The words "not enough" are heard every day inside of our nation's foster care system...

Not enough resources. Not enough families. But it doesn't have to be this way where you live. More Than Enough (MTE) is a community united by our faith and committed to helping churches care for children and families in foster care. Together, we are determined to achieve our shared vision of more than enough for children and families before, during, and beyond foster care in every US county. More Than Enough is facilitated by the Christian Alliance for Orphans, which supports the Community in expanding on-the-ground care for children and families. When you join the More Than Enough Community, you will find the support you need to:

* Communicate your vision, driving community involvement in foster care.

* Grow your work, multiplying the impact of your time, people, and funding by using ideas and resources from the More Than Enough Community.

* Do more together, expanding your reach and results through effective collaboration. County by county, state by state, we’ll reach more than enough together.

Dan Vogel, Founder and CEO of Flourish Fund, and More Than Enough Podcast host Jason Weber on holding onto hope when the work wears you down.

When you’re serving children and families through hard circumstances, discouragement can make restoration feel far away. Sometimes you need to stop and remember a family whose story changed. A place where you saw God at work. A moment that reminded you healing is possible.

“If he did it once, he can do it again.”

Dan Vogel, Founder and CEO of Flourish Fund, and host Jason Weber on what we do with the things that don’t work.

When we try something new for kids and families, some of it will work and some won’t. Too often, we sweep the failures under the rug or spin them. But those misses can be our best learning ground, if we’re willing to look hard and ask: what happened, and what would we do differently?

What if failure were an asset instead of a liability?

Dan Vogel, Founder and CEO of Flourish Fund, on why no single organization is going to fix this alone.

Complex challenges need many people bringing different assets to the table, so together they can do what none of them could do on their own. When big change happens, it’s usually because separate groups came together. Where we’re still stuck, the missing piece is often the collaboration it takes.

That’s what More Than Enough is built on.

Dan Vogel, Founder and CEO of Flourish Fund, and host Jason Weber on why faithful, repeated conversations matter more than we think.

One social worker asked a pastor to meet and talk about child welfare. She said the same things she’d said to countless others. This time, it took root, and it became years of impact in foster care.

If you feel like you’re saying the same things over and over without much traction: keep saying them. You never know who’s listening, or what they’ll do with it.

Matthew Haines still remembers the first foster placement arriving at his childhood home — with a trash bag that held everything they owned. “I asked my mom, ‘When do we get the rest of their stuff?’ And my mom said, ‘This is it. This is all they have right now.’” He calls that moment earth-shattering — it still shapes what he and his wife say yes to today.

But he’s honest about the rest, too. Foster care changed life for every kid under that roof. All four of them, at different times, went to their parents and said, “I don’t know if this is working.” And his parents did something remarkable: they heard every concern, pointed the family back to the calling God had placed on their lives — and never used that calling as an excuse. When a kid needed more, there were one-on-one date nights and dedicated attention, so everyone still felt seen and valued in the home.

On Episode 43, Matthew — now a pastor and foster/adoptive dad himself — joins Jason Weber to talk about inviting your kids into the foster care journey wisely and well. 🎧 Listen at the link in bio, or wherever you get podcasts.

There are two things nonprofits almost always ask a business for. Brian Mavis thinks both are the wrong ask.

“99% of the time, they are asked either for money, or to close up for a day and go volunteer at your thing.”

Government is engaged. Churches are engaged. Nonprofits keep getting better. But business — an entire sector — has largely stayed unaware, partly because we keep approaching them as a checkbook or a labor pool.

So he asked a different question: “What if their vocation were part of the solution?”

Sell food? Fix cars? Run a trampoline park? Manage a zoo? Then that’s what you bring. Not a donation — the actual work you already know how to do.

That’s the conviction behind the Foster Friendly app: businesses serving foster families out of what they already are.

Homelessness. Addiction. Mental health. Trafficking. We name these as separate crises.

Brian Mavis went looking for where they begin — and found ten of America’s biggest social wounds tracing back to the same place. For many young adults, the story started long before the headline: in child welfare, in aging out, in being cut off from family and community.

“If you care about these other things — addiction, su***de, crisis pregnancy, trafficking — then you care about foster care, because these kids are the leading pipeline to those social wounds.”

It reframes the question. Not why foster care instead of these other worthy causes — but what if foster care is upstream of them?

“In 26 years, there has never been a single day where kids have not been waiting for families.”

That’s what a child welfare worker told Brian Mavis twenty years ago. Then she raised her finger and gave him a challenge:

“Help me change who waits. Help me recruit so many families, so many adults, that they’re on the waiting list — not the kids.”

He said yes on the spot. Didn’t consult anybody. And those three words — change who waits — redirected the whole trajectory of his life and ministry.

Imagine it: a waiting list of grown-ups ready to love a child, and no child waiting on them.

Brian Mavis (America’s Kids Belong) joins Jason Weber on the More Than Enough Podcast to talk about going upstream — how caring for kids in foster care reaches into homelessness, poverty, trafficking, incarceration and more.

Is your work actually meaningful? Here’s a simple test.

Jedd Schroy’s rule of thumb: fast-forward a year from your last conversation with someone you serve. Is their life different — changed — because of what you put into it?

“That’s the outcome. That’s the lasting fruit that transpires and is received.”

Activity is easy to count. Lasting change is what actually matters — and it’s worth measuring for.

On the More Than Enough Podcast, Jedd Schroy (CAFO) and David Eaton (Axis) talk about how to measure what truly counts.

Every month, smoke rose from the community. They were burning their own clothes.

Jedd Schroy was in a São Paulo favela when he learned why. Local churches gave away clothing to the needy each month — and whoever looked neediest got first pick. So families burned what they owned to look poorer than their neighbors.

The churches had the best of intentions. They still created a perverse incentive.

That’s the uncomfortable question at the heart of this episode: is the good work we’re doing actually producing the good we’re hoping for? Or are we just counting the activity?

Good intentions aren’t the same as good outcomes. On the More Than Enough Podcast, Jedd Schroy (CAFO) and David Eaton (Axis) talk about how to measure what actually matters.
