Summary
Brandon and Cherith Craft are no strangers to doing hard things. In fact, it is such a part of who they are that they put it in their family mantra: “We’re Crafts. We do hard things and we try new things.” But when God nudged them to start foster care nearly 10 years ago, their initial response was, We don’t think we can do this right now. Several years later, God would prompt them again to foster and this time their answer would change. Through fostering five children in five years and becoming TFI Advocates in Baton Rouge, LA, they’ve learned to do the hard things, rely on God, and listen to what their family needs in every season. I know their story will be an encouragement to you today!

| 0:00.0 | Meeting you right where you are on your foster care journey, this is The Forgotten Podcast. Now we've began to take a family approach and realize that these families need help. They need someone in their corner to be able to help them. |
| 0:25.8 | Hey, it's Jamie Cabe. |
| 0:27.5 | Welcome back to the Forgotten podcast. |
| 0:31.8 | I want to take a moment to remind you that you are not alone. |
| 0:37.2 | Your life matters and God has an incredible purpose for you. I know this because he says so in Jeremiah |
| 0:40.0 | 29.11. He says, for I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you, not to harm you, |
| 0:48.8 | plans to give you hope and a future. You are seen, you are important, and your life matters. And our team here at the |
| 0:58.5 | Forgotten Initiative is cheering you on. I also want to let you know in on something that's going |
| 1:03.9 | on in my life. I am writing a book, a book on leadership. I started this journey at the beginning of the year. I've been thinking about it |
| 1:12.8 | for a while and I finally made the start. And I'm sharing my progress on my new Instagram account |
| 1:19.5 | at Jamie Cabe author. That's at Jamie J-A-M-I-K-A-E-B author. This is a brand-new adventure for me. I really do not know what I'm doing, |
| 1:34.0 | but that's how D-F-I started to. And God has done incredibly more than I ever planned in our ministry, |
| 1:40.4 | and I just am believing that he's going to do the same through this process. |
| 1:45.6 | I am writing to leaders and to those who have influenced, so that is you. |
| 1:51.0 | Too often we put pressure on ourselves, don't we? |
| 1:53.5 | We put pressure like we need to have it all figured out before we step in. |
| 1:57.5 | Or we need to have all the answers. |
| 2:00.7 | This is simply not true. Instead, we get to learn. |
| 2:05.7 | Let us be humble. Let us be real with one another and learn through our successes and our failures. |
| 2:13.0 | So in a nutshell, that is what this book is about. And I would love to have you join me over at Jamie |
| 2:18.5 | Cave author to walk with me during this journey. I would love your prayers. I would love your |
