Some battles don't show up on a courtroom docket or a medical chart, yet they shake every part of your life. When trauma, injustice, and spiritual attack collide, how do you fight back without losing your faith?

Having walked through profound personal loss, pastor and deliverance minister Dr. Charles Karuku believes the answer begins with forgiveness and spiritual authority. He explains that unforgiveness gives the enemy legal ground, but when we choose to forgive — even before the feelings change — we silence accusation and step into freedom. Drawing from his own journey of forgiving the man who killed his father, Dr. Karuku shows that healing is not weakness; it is the doorway to breakthrough, restoration, and generational change.

Street evangelism often feels intimidating, especially when it takes us outside church walls and into messy, uncomfortable places. But what if real ministry begins with something far simpler than we've made it and closer to us than we think?

According to Pastor Marsha King, an ordained pastor with decades of hands-on ministry experience, the answer is learning to see people the way God does and responding with simple obedience. She explains that evangelism isn't about polished speeches or special titles but about noticing who God is already highlighting and showing up with love in ordinary moments. When that happens, even brief, humble interactions can open the door to profound transformation for both the person being served and the one serving.

Mike Evans is the Co-founder of Foster One Ministries, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the foster care and child welfare system. The organization serves foster parents, kinship families, social workers, and biological parents working toward reunification. Under Mike's leadership, Foster One sponsors over 2,000 foster children annually during the holidays and provides essential resources, support groups, and parenting classes. Its programs contribute to strong reunification outcomes and meaningful life transformation for the families it serves.

Breaking cycles rarely starts with big systems or sweeping reforms. More often, it begins with one person deciding to show up, even when the situation feels messy or uncomfortable. So what actually helps stop generational patterns in foster care and create real, lasting change for families?

The answer starts, for Mike Evans, with community and obedience. Drawing from his experience as a foster and adoptive parent, he believes lasting change happens when people surround families with consistent support instead of judgment. He points to how foster care is often generational and explains that walking alongside children, parents, and caregivers together is what creates the space for healing and restoration.

In this episode of the Align & Abide podcast, Dr. Kim Tran is joined by Mike Evans, Co-founder of Foster One Ministries, to discuss breaking generational cycles within the foster care system. They discuss why community support is crucial for foster families, the role of reunification in long-term change, and what it truly takes to enter foster care with the right mindset. Mike also shares practical ways anyone can get involved, even without becoming a foster parent.
