In our first podcast, we break down the parable of the River and how it relates to issues facing Houston's child and family welfare system. Foster care isn't an isolated problem but is connected to many other social issues affecting our city. How does this reality change the way we work together to transform foster care in our communities?

In this episode we also discuss the power (and the challenge) of collaboration, the role of the Church in caring for vulnerable families, and how YOU can find your place along the River.
