  • S1 Ep. 20: Seeking Connection | This Foster Family's Priority of Reunification & Healing
    2025/09/17
    The Poole's are not your typical foster family. With a heart to see foster children reunited with their biological parents, they make it their mission (and ministry) to seek connection with the bio family and create a space for love, healing and restoration. Reunification should always be the goal. God loves these children more than we ever could. And while we may not ever fully understand the scope of why these children are placed with us, we can find comfort in knowing the LORD goes before them wherever they go. We just have the honor and privilege of being a stop along the way. Connect with Heather at: https://www.fostering-connections.net/

  • S1. Ep. 17: Parties that Leave An Impact | Changing Lives Through Selfless Charity & Celebration
    2025/08/27
    "His little face was just pressed up against the glass." Dr. Vickie Smith recounts the very first GLYP (God Loves You Party) she ever hosted and how excited and overjoyed this little boy felt knowing the party was "just for him". He didn't have much; his mother just asked for a coat for the winter so they wouldn't be cold. But they received so much more than a coat. This family received a showering of Christ's love and left knowing, without a doubt, there is always hope and God will always provide. Funded entirely through her own resources and a handful of private donors, Dr. Smith shares how her ministry was born and the heartwarming stories of the foster children and their families who have experienced this incredible outpouring of love. To contact Dr. Smith, visit her website: https://next2dbest.com/

  • S1 Ep. 16: Nurturing Creativity and Confidence — The Power of Art and Music with Heather Tipps
    2025/08/20

    In this vibrant and heartfelt conversation, Heather Tipps, owner of En Route Academy of the Arts, opens up about the transformative role of creativity in children’s lives—and how a single supportive environment can ignite lifelong growth.

    Drawing from a rich family legacy of music, ministry, and teaching, Heather and her sister envisioned an academy that would reach beyond technical mastery to nurture the soul, confidence and resilience of every student, no matter their background. Learn about Heather’s musical childhood, the origin story of the Academy and the unique ways her team weaves faith, artistry and individualized encouragement into every lesson.

    Heather recounts how the Academy’s offerings have evolved: what began as a handful of piano lessons now branches out into group toddler classes, private instruction in voice, guitar and drums and a flourishing art department where children experiment with drawing, painting and even digital media. Heather says the academy is a “second home” for many kids—especially those navigating insecurities, trauma or the challenges of foster care.
