About this listen

Joe Knittig, CEO of the Global Orphan Project joins Pastor Perkins and Pastor Watts to discuss spiritual fatherlessness as a global malady. They discuss how God has built the church around the world as a global distribution network, which can excel in the care of children and families in crisis. The pastors consider issues of socioeconomic disproportionality and large increases in the need for foster care placement. Joe describes the CarePortal platform, which connects churches with needs in the community, while encouraging listeners to search out what God is up to. Finally, the pastors discuss connections between criminal justice reform and child welfare reform as well as long term systemic issues with the ways in which government attempts to parent children in crisis.
