Community is the Greatest Currency (feat. Amber Knowles, The Elijah Rising Podcast)
We can’t believe it has already been two years since this conversation on the Elijah Rising podcast. The information our Executive Director, Amber Knowles, shared is still relevant today. Today, we are revisiting this conversation and all the important lessons contained within it. The mission of Elijah Rising is to end sex trafficking through prayer, awareness, intervention, and restoration. It was founded in 2012 as a prayer gathering that focused on ending sex trafficking in Houston. In t...

Seeing the Child Beneath the Crime (feat. Le'Otis Boswell Johnson, Sons of Sophistication)
“You don’t just wake up one day caught up in this. There’s usually a long line of needs not being met that result in a kid being in this situation.” When a young person finds themselves involved in the juvenile justice system, their defense attorney has the crucial responsibility of considering the challenging circumstances that may have played a role in how they got there. Their job is to help the judge and jury consider the human being—and the child—behind the crime. My guest for this conve...

A Framework of Community Based Care (feat. Shaundricka Easley & Dr. Brock Boudreau, Texans Together)
When a family is in crisis, every moment matters. That's why Texans Together is helping build a more flexible, responsive support system that's deeply rooted in the communities it serves through a model called Community-Based Care (CBC). Community-Based Care is transforming the way foster care services are delivered in Texas by empowering local organizations to coordinate support for children and families. Whether it's finding a weighted blanket for a child in foster care or providing a bed f...

How to Hold Joy and Grief at the Same Time as Foster Parents (feat. Grant and Michaele Leathers)
One of the first lessons you learn as a foster parent is that you can never assume how a placement will end. Most parents enter each placement knowing that reunification is the primary goal of foster care whenever it’s safe and possible. But that doesn’t make the journey any easier. They must learn to love a child wholeheartedly while also holding space for the possibility of one day saying goodbye. There may not be a book that covers every challenge you’ll encounter as a foster parent, but t...

The Powerful Intersection of Faith and Neuroscience (feat. Ashley McFarland)
What does it look like to integrate mental health and faith? My guest today brings her knowledge, experience, and passion to answer this question. Ashley McFarland is a trauma trainer, psychotherapist and co-founder of the Pineheart Center. Throughout her time in child welfare, nonprofits, the school system, and a detention center, she gained insight into the ways trauma shapes our brains. In this conversation, we explore why it’s important to build connection and safety with an individ...

Behind the Bench: Child Welfare Through the Eyes of a Judge (feat. Judge Charles Griffin, Gulf Coast Children’s Court)
Going to court can be intimidating for everyone involved in the child welfare system: from foster parents to biological families, and of course, for children. Because of this, it's often the case that parties will neglect to show up for their court date. When this happens, judges have to base their decisions on an incomplete picture of the situation—and key testimony and desires are not taken into consideration. That's why we're so grateful to welcome Judge Charles Griffin on the podcast for ...

Understanding and Preventing Child Maltreatment (feat. Dr. Melissa Merrick, Prevent Child Abuse America)
1 in 7 children experience abuse or neglect in the United States, according to the CDC. However, the actual number is estimated to be higher due to many cases going unreported. It’s easy to assume that maltreatment only happens when a child’s caregivers are uncaring or intend harm—but that isn’t always the case. The reality is, children are more at risk when their caregivers are overwhelmed, underresourced, and in desperate need of community. It isn’t enough to address the aftereffects of abu...

How TBRI Transforms Lives Through Safety and Connection (feat. Darius Payne)
What if the key to improving a child’s behavior isn’t found in stricter rules, but in stronger relationships? And what should care and treatment look like for children who have experienced really hard circumstances? Our guest today brings evidence-based answers to both of these questions. Darius Payne is a licensed Master Social Worker and Juvenile Justice expert with extensive experience in child welfare and the application of Trust-Based Relational Intervention®, or TBRI®. He currently over...
