  Why Pastors & Therapists Need Each Other | Jaci Burgess

  Aug 21, 202640 minS2

  Our guest today is Jaci Burgess, Senior Clinical Counselor at WinShape Homes, who brings more than 15 years of clinical experience specializing in child trauma and attachment. She is also a foster and adoptive mom who has cared for 20 children, including her daughter, whom she first met as a medically fragile infant born with half a heart. In this episode, Jaci shares their remarkable journey through foster care, a heart transplant, and adoption—and how walking through that story deepened her understanding of faith, attachment, trauma, and the sovereignty of God. We also talk about why pastors and therapists need each other, how Christian clinical care can work alongside Scripture, and why foster parents must be willing to address their own mental and emotional health as they care for children from hard places. Jaci offers practical wisdom on attachment, burnout, thought life, caregiver readiness, and the role the Church can play in creating healthier communities of care. We hope you enjoy this honest and encouraging conversation with Jaci Burgess. Learn more about WinShape Homes . Follow us on socials. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  Why Collaboration Changes Child Welfare Outcomes | Paul Chapman

  Aug 6, 202637 minS2

  What happens when an entire community decides that vulnerable families are everyone’s responsibility? In this episode, Paul Chapman, founder and director of Restore Hope, joins Austin and Callie to share how communities are working together to help families move from crisis to stability. Through Restore Hope, churches, courts, schools, law enforcement, child welfare agencies, nonprofits, and workforce programs align around shared goals and coordinated support. This approach has helped some communities raise reunification rates from 43 percent to nearly 72 percent while helping many families receive support before entering the foster care system. Paul also shares his journey from international banking to prison ministry and statewide systems change, along with the powerful story of a father who overcame addiction and regained custody of his children. This conversation offers a practical vision for how churches and public agencies can work together to strengthen families and create lasting change. Learn more about WinShape Homes .
