How to Embrace God’s Call to be Fathers to the Fatherless – with Roger Cooke. S3E3
Would you consider fostering?
Every 15 minutes, a child comes into care in the UK. What can we, as the church, do to help? We were delighted to have Roger Cooke, from Home for Good, on the Legacy Podcast. Roger provides a depth of insight which we (Stephen and Andy) found both inspiring and helpful in considering if fostering is something our families can do.
Join us.
Chapters
0:00 – 7:45 Introductions 7:45 – 22:35 Why should we care? 22:35 – 35:32 What does it take? 35:32 – 42:46 Commissioning for Every Father
Today’s Guest Roger Cooke is the right man to help us consider fostering and adoption.

They work to mobilise the Church in the UK to respond to the needs of children in care. Find out more at homeforgood.org.uk

We had one episode on failing as a father. But what about deep failure? This is a heavy conversation.
The last verses of the Old Testament, Malachi 4:5-6 says,
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.”
Join us as we take a deep dive into this verse, and speak to a man with extensive experience in helping families who have experienced profound hurt find healing and, where possible, restoration.
