In this episode of the ReStoried podcast, we begin a special mini-series on conversations about the movie "A Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot." 

Our guest is Jared Priset, pastor at Church of the Lakes. Pastor Jared and his wife have been dedicated foster parents for the past three years, living out their faith by leaning into the brokenness around them, just as Jesus did. 

We dig into the movie's impactful story, which has been instrumental in spreading awareness about foster care. Together, we discuss the key takeaways from the movie, emphasizing the importance of being close to the brokenhearted and stepping out of our comfort zones to make a difference. 

Tune in for an inspiring discussion on the power of compassion and the transformative journey of foster care.
