“In the middle of chaos…they are the constant.”

A simple moment turned into confirmation. God had already placed foster care on their hearts—and a stranger confirmed it.

“A 5-week-old baby with 8 broken bones… this is what happened next.”

She came into their home at just five weeks old… with eight broken bones. In this episode of Dallas the Podcast, Bethany shares her powerful journey through foster care, adoption, and becoming a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer. What started as a simple Mother’s Day conversation in 2021 became a life-changing calling—one that led her family into foster care, advocacy, and ultimately adoption. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and this conversation sheds light on what children in the foster care system truly need: someone to show up, advocate, and be their voice. In this episode, we cover: What foster care and foster-to-adopt really look like The realities of adopting a child who has experienced trauma What a CASA volunteer does and why it matters How child advocacy supports children in the foster care system Why ordinary people are often the most qualified to step in Bethany’s story is raw, real, and deeply impactful—offering both insight and encouragement f…

What held the family together wasn’t what people assume. From the outside, it can look like strength is just a matter of keeping it together. But under pressure, a family learns quickly what actually carries the weight — and what breaks first. This conversation gets into the part most people never see: the quiet cost, the hard choices, and what faith looked like when things weren’t easy. 👇 This is where the deeper tension starts to show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iMqcISgIwY

Peace can look different in the middle of crisis. At first, it feels like a simple moment of reflection. But underneath that calm is a much deeper tension: what holds when life stops giving you room to breathe. This is where the conversation starts to open up, because the part most people miss is how prayer can change the weight of the moment without removing the moment itself. 👇 This is where the real shift happens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iMqcISgIwY

The hard part starts after the decision. Leaving a familiar world can look like a clean break. What it usually is, underneath, is a quiet test of faith, identity, and trust. The outside story is simple: one chapter ends, another begins. The inside story is less tidy — because the space in between asks more of a person than the decision itself. This is the part most people miss, and it changes how the whole moment lands. 👇 This is where the shift starts to make sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfkNW3pz7Hs
