Let's Share!

What if helping prevent a child from entering foster care was as simple as sharing a warm meal, offering a ride, or checking in with a text? In this powerful conversation, host Dr. Leigh Byers sits down with JP Zabala, Area Coordinator and Church Engagement Lead for Safe Families for Children – Miami, to explore how this faith-based national nonprofit supports families in crisis before they ever reach the foster care system.

JP shares the powerful mission and model behind Safe Families, including how "disruptive generosity" and a circle of support are changing lives—one relationship at a time. From hosting a child for just a few days, to volunteering as a family coach, friend, or local church partner, the opportunities to serve are varied and deeply impactful. With 95% of children returning home thanks to early intervention, the outcomes are clear—and inspiring.

Whether you're in Florida, across the country, or just curious about how to support vulnerable families, this episode offers an encouraging look at what’s possible when communities wrap around one another with love, prayer, and practical care.
