About this listen
Welcome to season 3 - This season walks along side you as you start your fostering journey.
Foster care can harden you if you’re not careful. In this episode, we talk about how to stay soft, tender, and faith-filled even in challenging environments.
If you’ve felt yourself becoming guarded, reactive, or emotionally armoured, this conversation will help you return tosteady strength without losing your heart.
Fostering often requires resilience, boundaries, and emotional strength. But somewhere along the way, strength can quietly turn into hardness.
In this episode of Fostering Kingdoms, weexplore:
* Why emotional hardness is often a copingmechanism
* The difference between boundaries and emotional shutdown
* How to protect your heart without closing it
* What tender strength really looks like in foster care
* How Jesus models softness without weakness
Staying soft doesn’t mean being naive.
It means leading from security rather than self-protection.
This episode is for UK foster carers navigating difficult placements, system pressure, and emotional exhaustionwho want to remain grounded in faith without becoming hardened by experience.You don’t have to armour up to survive.
