How does the gospel confront our cultural obsession with comfort? How can we be equipped to joyfully do hard things? And what does true discipleship to Jesus look like in the context of foster care?
In this first half of a two-part conversation, Jason Johnson unpacks these questions and more, challenging us to live a faith that embraces difficulty for the sake of love.
