Running Toward

South TX Alliance for Orphans

Running Toward tells the stories of ordinary people who couldn’t look away once they saw the hidden crisis in foster care and family.Each episode features honest, unfiltered stories from ordinary people who couldn’t look away once they saw the hidden crisis impacting children and families in their own communities. People living normal lives who took imperfect, often reluctant steps toward brokenness — and were changed by it.This is not a podcast about quick fixes or heroic solutions.It’s about the long, costly, deeply human work of preventing family fracture and supporting families.
