It Takes a Village: Judith

A beautiful and deeply personal interview with Jude exploring how adoption and fostering reveal the permanence of God’s love, challenging us to actively live out our faith the moment we finish praying.

Have you ever felt the subtle, exhausting pressure to change who you are just to fit into a community? It is a remarkably common feeling and this underlying expectation to conform, to speak a certain way, or to look a certain part just to feel like you truly belong. 

But what if real church family isn’t about uniformity at all? In this moving conversation, Judith shares her beautiful personal journey through faith, fostering, and adoption, introducing a profound concept: permanency. When you are adopted into God’s family, it is an official, secure base that allows you to drop the act and simply be yourself. Yet, so many of us still struggle to feel secure, or we say our prayers and wait around for things to change without ever moving our own feet. We lean into a deeply challenging question: what are you doing after amen? 

This message is a warm invitation to stop hiding and start grounding yourself in the constant, unchanging love of God. Discover how a simple, childlike trust and the consistency of just showing up can transform your perspective and help you build a safe haven where others can find their home too.
