The More Than Enough Podcast

How can Christian ministries use AI-powered tools wisely—especially when it comes to the context of serving vulnerable children and families? In this episode, Jedd Medefind, Nicholette Antoniuk, and Travis Hesson explore how to use AI within this context and share key questions and principles that can help ministries approach it with wisdom and care.

Reaching more than enough for children and families in our communities takes everyone pitching in, even those who may not feel that they squarely fit into the world of foster care! Join a conversation with Jason Johnson, author of the book Everyone Can Do Something, to talk about what a culture of 'everyone can do something' can look like in your church and your community. Then leaders from across the country share real-life examples of how people are doing their 'something' to care for children & families in some pretty creative ways.

In this episode, you’ll discover fresh ideas for how your church can participate in Pure Religion Sunday in ways that are meaningful and uniquely tailored to your context. Hear from Gabe Forsyth at Mosaic Church on how his church has leveraged this day over the years, and from Lisa Robertson at HopeBridge in Ohio on how it has helped their organization engage local churches in powerful ways.

In this episode, we sit down with Austin Ludwig for a powerful conversation about the goodness of God, His redemptive heart, and the ways He’s worked in Austin’s life—often in unexpected and transformative ways. Austin is an artist, a passionate advocate for children in foster care, and a staff member at the Winshape Foundation, where he helps equip local churches in their mission to care for children in foster care. This honest, moving story is a beautiful reminder that even in brokenness, God is always at work.

How do you build a local foster care network that actually works—and lasts? In this episode, we explore three essential structures for sustainable collaboration, with real-life insights from leaders of Every Child Arkansas: Phil Goad, Derek Brown, and Shayne Baker. Learn how steering teams, backbone support, and working groups can bring lasting impact to your community.

Today we’re diving into something that sits right at the heart of what we’re all about — relationships. As believers, we know this isn’t just a nice idea. We’re uniquely called and equipped to offer the kind of relationships that go the distance — the kind that reflect the love and faithfulness of Jesus, even when things get messy. We’ll hear today from Amber Knowles with The Riverside Project in Houston and then Stephanie Ellison, the Foster Adoption Ministry Associate Director at Beltway Park Church in Texas. (Note: Her story is powerful, but it contains some sensitive themes that may not be ideal for younger listeners.)

In this episode, Jason talks with Ryan Skoog and Peter Greer, two of the authors of the book Lead with Prayer. We then hear from five foster care leaders, Heidi White, Shelly Radic, Rhonda Littleton, Janelle Shelton, and Andrew Holmes about how they prioritize prayer in their lives, work, and leadership, as they serve children and families all across the country.

In our work we often have opportunities to share our personal stories — maybe from stage, maybe over coffee, or even in a grocery store aisle. However, we can’t talk for hours, and we don’t want to present a sanitized or unauthentic picture of our lives. We wonder, how can we balance the tensions between limited time and authenticity, vulnerability, and privacy? Today we are talking about telling our stories. We talk with Beth Guckenberger, an author, leader, and public speaker, about sharing stories that build connection and credibility, and still honor children’s privacy. We also talk with Tim Grissom, one of Jason’s former editors, and Mari Ramsey, a worship leader and former foster youth, about why he has chosen to travel the country, write a book, and tell his story.
