🎧🌟 Today we kicked off The VILLAGE Podcast Club: Summer Edition 🌟🎧

Foster, adoptive and kinship moms, this one's for you!

Podcasts that speak to your heart | Conversations that build your village.

Join us every other Wednesday this summer for lunch, learning, and meaningful conversation with other women who understand the unique joys and challenges of foster & adoptive parenting.

Before each gathering, you'll listen to a selected podcast episode on your own. Then we'll come together over lunch to reflect, share experiences, and discuss practical ideas that can help us parent with greater confidence, connection, and wisdom.

Topics may include:
• Trauma-informed parenting
• Being firm without yelling
• Building connection and attachment
• Summer routines and family rhythms
• Nutrition and feeding challenges
• Self-care and resilience
• Faith and foster care
• And more!

🥗 Bring your own lunch
🎙 Listen to the podcast before we meet
💬 Come ready for honest conversation and encouragement

Whether you're a new foster/adoptive/kinship Mom or have been doing this for years, we'd love for you to join us as we learn together and strengthen our village.

--
In order to have honest, open conversations, this is for adults only with no toddlers/kids/teens allowed.

Transitions are tough, but these journey bags make a difference for children entering foster care! Thank you Rise Church and to this group of 4th grade friends from St. Paul's Episcopal School for partnering with us to provide everyday essentials, but more importantly comfort in the hard!

Reminiscing on an incredible day serving foster families alongside Keller Williams Realty Mobile during their RED Day of service as they helped spruce up the homes of local foster families. What an act of service and heart, making an immediate community impact!

We're honored to have Brodie Croyle as our keynote speaker for the Fostering Hope Gala! Most people know him for his outstanding football career, but even more incredible is the way he's served vulnerable children in his community since his retirement.

Brodie was raised at Big Oak Ranch, a Christian home for children from difficult circumstances, founded by his parents, John and Tee Croyle. Growing up among children who had experienced deep hurt shaped Brodie's heart for servant leadership and laid the foundation for a lifelong calling.

As a record-breaking quarterback at the University of Alabama and 5-year NFL QB for the Kansas City Chiefs, Brodie honed his resilience, discipline, and perspective on leadership under pressure.

After retiring from the NFL, Brodie returned to Big Oak Ranch to continue his family's mission. As CEO, he leads the organization in its vision to point children who've experienced abuse, abandonment, and neglect to lives focused on hope, healing, and home.

Join us at this year's Gala to hear Brodie share lessons learned both on the field and through his impactful work serving vulnerable children!
