No Sugar Coating: Real Talk on Fostering Kids with Jillana Goble
In this episode, we sit down with Jillana Goble, a speaker, author, and foster care advocate to hear her inspiring journey of becoming a passionate voice for vulnerable children. Jillana shares how God developed a deep desire in her heart to advocate for the most vulnerable, and how that calling has shaped her life and founding the statewide movement Every Child Oregon. Together, we dive into the real talk about managing expectations around outcomes in the foster care system, the immense need for more foster families, and the ways we can stretch our hearts to make a difference in the lives of kids in need.
Whether you're considering fostering, know someone who is, or just want to learn how to advocate for those in vulnerable situations, this conversation with Jillana offers insight, encouragement, and practical wisdom.
