Faith in Parents
The Faith in Parents podcast is all about helping families raise children for Jesus. On this stream, you’ll find episodes for parents, presented by Ed and Amy, that cover all the issues we think are important today. We’re not trying to give you the answers, but a few starting points. We hope and pray you’ll be inspired to give it a go. Every family can.

Fostering with Daniel and Ruth Sinclair
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Daniel and Ruth have offered a warm welcome and a loving family to more than a dozen children over 13 years of being foster carers. Hear how they cope with saying 'goodbye' (while also staying in touch afterwards), how they see themselves growing in compassion for those living with brokenness and how their own children have grown through being part of these messy situations.
Listen to their story of hope, care and progress with moments of deep despair.
We noticed how much of their story is the same as any Christian parent: Our children all belong to God before they are our own and our strength to go on always comes from the Cross of Christ.
