In this week’s episode, I chat with Kile Bateman, Pastor and Director of Phased In, a transitional living program for emancipated foster youth, about the importance of answering God’s call when it comes to the needs of these children and young adults. Did you know that 30,000 children in Texas alone are in the foster care system? In the nation at large, it's almost half a million. The Bible says that pure religion is to visit the orphan and widow in their time of distress. That time is now. And God is looking for people who will answer His call. Phased In’s mission is to provide the unconditional love of a family through a transitional living program that will prepare emancipated foster youth for independent living and empower them to become productive, responsible, and independent members of their community.
