A Force To Be Reckoned With

Do you have someone in your circle who inspires you by the way they live their life?

When we think of heroes, we often picture individuals in capes saving the world, but my friend and inspiration, Lisa Robertson, is a hero in her own right. For nearly a decade, Lisa and her husband opened their hearts and their home to foster children, impacting countless lives in the process. Facing the difficult decision to close their home, Lisa shares her emotional journey, the difficult conversations, and her courageous step into a season of rest.

As we navigate through this emotional rollercoaster, we uncover Lisa's continued impact on the foster care system through her work with Hope Bridge. This non-profit organization has given Lisa a platform to share transformative stories of hope, demonstrating that closing her home has not meant the end of her contribution.

What's life like after leaving foster care? We explore this adjustment period, the mental and emotional toll it takes, and the importance of intentional presence.

Lisa shares her adjustment process and how she was able to find value in her new season of life. So, join us for a conversation filled with raw emotion, deep insights, and a testament to the impact of faith.

This episode isn't just a chat - it's an exploration of the human spirit, the struggles we face, and the hope that sees us through. Come, be inspired. You don't want to miss this!
