We're two seasons into the podcast, but we haven't taken the time to get to know our hosts on a more personal level. Today, James takes the time to interview Roy. Where is Roy from? What experiences have significantly shaped his life? How did he end up in Nebraska as the CEO of Christian Heritage? We cover those questions and more in this wide-range (and really good!) conversation.

For far too long, the church has seen discipleship as information to learn or a class to take. But what if discipleship was something else entirely? In this episode, James and Roy talk about "hospitality as discipleship." They discuss what this meant for the early church and how we can make it a reality again today.

In this episode, Jenn Hook, author and founder/executive director of Replanted, joins us to discuss how churches can support and care well for foster and adoptive families in their community. We talk about where churches need to begin on the road to becoming trauma-informed and what it takes for church leadership to be "all in."

Jenn and her husband Josh wrote Thriving Families, a guidebook to help families as they care for vulnerable children. Drawing on the latest science and research on trauma, attachment, sensory processing difficulties, cultural competence, and grief and loss, the book provides a trauma-informed approach to help adoptive and foster families.

In this episode, James and Roy take a step back to look at the big picture of trauma through the lens of discipleship. They try to answer the haunting question, "Is discipleship in the North American church infected or broken, and how do we get back to what Jesus modeled in his care for the vulnerable?"
