Welcome Back to Beauty for Ashes
This week, we're diving into an important topic—the difference between fostering through DHR (Department of Human Resources) and fostering through a private agency. We'll share our honest opinions on the pros and cons of each path, drawing from personal insight and experience.

Whether you're considering fostering through the state or a private organization, we believe you can do it. The most important thing is having a strong support system—a village around you—and keeping God at the center of your journey. With faith and community, fostering is possible, and you're never alone in it.

In this powerful episode, Phillip Fuller and Matt Lanier share their personal journeys into fatherhood — how their hearts softened to the idea of fostering, how they found their place, and why a father’s presence is so vital in a child’s life. They dive deep into recognizing God’s voice, understanding when you’re being called to foster, and the importance of staying rooted in Scripture along the way. Full of encouragement, faith, and real-life wisdom, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone exploring foster care, fatherhood, or simply what it means to say “yes” to God’s call.
