There’s no “just” or “only” in foster care or adoption. You haven’t “just” fostered a few or “only” adopted one. Rather, you have significantly altered the trajectory of a life forever. Generations to come will never be the same. That’s bigger than “just” and “only”. #fostercare
You can’t help but be happy for a guy who just won the Super Bowl and wants to stop talking about it so he can go play in the confetti with his daughter. Cheers to you, @AaronDonald97! @RamsNFL
It’s often said, “Fostering or adopting one child might not change the world, but for that child, the world will change.” I disagree. Caring for one child WILL and DOES change the world. The generational (and eternal) ripple effects are far more than we could possibly measure.
They questioned and criticized the woman who poured expensive perfume on the feet of Jesus. He said she had done a “beautiful thing”. Don’t be surprised when people think what you’re doing for Him is crazy. You’re in good company.
Knowingly or unknowingly, the amount of grief and anxiety our souls are wrestling with cannot be overstated. There’s been too many let downs, disappointments and pings of sadness to not go unaffected. Give yourself some grace to not function at 100% capacity right now.
NEW POST: Ten Things to be Aware of During Foster Care Awareness Month jasonjohnsonblog.com/blog/fo… #fostercareawarenessmonth
Landing in Denver around 10:30am on Saturday. Heading towards Fort Collins that afternoon to preach at Timberline Church all weekend. Any pastor/ministry leader open for lunch/coffee somewhere around there? Would love to connect. It's on me! Shoot me a message.
I’m landing in Louisville tomorrow around 1:00pm with a couple hours to kill. Any pastor or ministry leader up for some coffee? Shoot me a message and let’s see if we can make it work!
Literally can’t believe how rude, confused and unhelpful everyone we’ve spoken to @GreyhoundBus has been. They’ve given misinformation, charged us for it and are unwilling to make it right. Trying to get a girl and her kids out of a bad situation. Greyhound has made it worse.
Hey @AmericanAir and @iah, can someone tell us why we’ve been sitting for 40 minutes waiting to pull up to our gate? You’ve known for 3.5 hours we were coming. And can you please hire whoever it is @ChickfilA that created the drive thru process for when they’re really busy??
A lot of your questions about fostering are only answered through proximity. The closer you get the more you see and the clearer things become. Serve a family, go to orientation, attend an info meeting...just find a way to move closer - and watch what happens. #fostercare
It’s arguably the biggest barrier that keeps people from fostering - the fear of “getting too attached”. It’s nuanced and complicated…and it’s WINNING. It’s keeping a lot of good people away from A LOT of great kids. Let’s take a look at it... jasonjohnsonblog.com/blog/fi… #FosterCare
One of the purest and most undefiled demonstrations of the gospel is to move towards hard places and broken people, not away from them. #james127
This is especially telling on this Easter weekend as we celebrate the lengths God went to move towards us.

[NEW POST] James 1:27 is NOT a command, and why it’s important for us to know that. jasonjohnsonblog.com/blog/ja…
I’ve seen one family caring for one child change the culture of an entire church over time. Never underestimate the power of what you’re doing - even if for a while it feels like nobody else understands. #fostercare #adoption
How do you know if you’re “ready”? When you know just enough to be afraid of it but too much to let fear have the final say about it. #fostercare #adoption jasonjohnsonblog.com/blog/te…
[NEW POST] I’m convinced for every one couple we see pursuing becoming foster parents, there’s a whole host of others that are considering it. Here’s ten questions they should ask... jasonjohnsonblog.com/blog/te… #FosterCare
