What does it look like for the church to live distinctly in a world marked by comfort, individualism, and overwhelming need? In this conversation, pastor and author David Platt joins Austin and Callie to unpack the urgent call for believers to embody the heart of God—especially in the work of foster care, adoption, and caring for vulnerable families.
With honesty and pastoral clarity, David shares how Scripture shapes a distinctly Christian response to child welfare, why obedience often means embracing discomfort, and how the local church must function as an interdependent family rather than a collection of isolated individuals.
He also opens up about his own family’s adoption journey, the role of the church in supporting foster families, and the transformative impact that happens when congregations step courageously into hard places.
This episode is a compelling invitation for pastors, leaders, and everyday believers to count the cost, trust God deeply, and run toward the vulnerable—not alone, but together.
