Jen Lilley and Dr. John DeGarmo | Called to Foster — The Honest Guide to Foster Care and Adoption Foster care. Adoption. The calling that changes everything. If you have ever felt that quiet pull on your heart — that nudge that says maybe we are supposed to do something — this episode is for you. In this episode of the What to Expect While Fostering and Adopting Podcast, Christine Marie sits down with actress and foster care advocate Jen Lilley and international foster care expert Dr. John DeGarmo to talk about their brand new book Called to Foster — the honest, hope-filled guide to every stage of the foster care and adoption journey. Jen Lilley, known from Days of Our Lives, Hallmark films, and dozens of beloved family movies — has fostered and adopted children through the Los Angeles County system and has become one of the most recognized voices for foster care in America. Dr. John DeGarmo is the founder of The Foster Care Institute, a TEDx Talk presenter, international consultant, and foster and adoptive parent to over 65 children. Together they wrote the book that every foster parent, adoptive parent, and anyone considering foster care needs in their hands. Dr. John did not want to be a foster parent. He believed every myth. Until a child sex trafficking ring victimized many of his own students and he could not look away. Jen never planned to become a foster care advocate. Until she opened her home and her heart through the LA County system and could not stop. This episode is raw. It is emotional. It is deeply faith-filled. And it will challenge every person listening to examine what they are doing or not doing for the children who are waiting. Because this is a kingdom priority.

Host Rachel Fulginiti is joined by returning guests Jen Lilley—a successful Hollywood actress who followed a deep calling to foster and ultimately fostered to adopt two children—and Dr. John DeGarmo, a nationally recognized foster care expert who has fostered over 60 children and adopted multiple children.In this episode they share insights from their new book, Called To Foster: An Honest Guide to Getting Started, offering a raw, honest, and practical roadmap for anyone considering foster care.Together, they bring both heart and expertise to an urgent conversation about the current state of foster care in the U.S.—and why more families are needed now than ever before.From a critical shortage of foster homes to the alarming reality that some children are being placed in juvenile detention centers simply because there's nowhere else for them to go, this episode sheds light on a system in crisis—and how everyday people can step in to help.

Text: Mark 9:14-29  A lesson from our adult Sunday school class through the book of Mark 

Dr. John DeGarmo is a leading authority on foster care, an international consultant to legal agencies, and founder of The Foster Care Institute. He has taken in more than 60 foster children and turned two decades of experience into books, talks, and training for families and professionals. He shares the realities behind America's foster care system, addressing trauma, abuse, neglect, and the urgent need for reform. Listeners learn what it truly takes to be a foster parent, why support systems matter, and how anyone can make a difference for children in crisis. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Dr. DeGarmo explains how he turned personal tragedy into purpose after witnessing child neglect and human trafficking in his community. He describes the emotional and logistical challenges of fostering, the gaps in the system, and why compassion fatigue is real for both parents and caseworkers. Most importantly, he offers simple, practical ways that anyone can help, from donating supplies to mentoring local youth. This conversation is a call to awareness, empathy, and action for the next generation. Quotes: “Foster parenting is the hardest thing I've ever done, but it's also the most rewarding.” “Within a mile of where each of us lives, there's probably a child crying out for help.” “Not everyone can be a foster parent, but everyone can help a child in some way.” “I can't change the world, and you can't change the world, but for those children we help, their world has changed.” Resources: Connect with Dr. John DeGarmo on LinkedIn Visit Dr. John DeGarmo's Website Connect with Dr. John DeGarmo on Facebook Follow Dr. John DeGarmo on X Watch Dr. John DeGarmo on YouTube

Queensryche were always different from their hard rock & hair metal brethren in the 80s & 90s. Based out of Seattle, Geoff Tate (vocals), Chris DeGarmo (lead guitar), Michael Wilton (lead & rhythm guitar), Eddie Jackson (bass) and Scott Rockenfield (drums) created a more prog rock sound akin to that of Rush or Dream Theater. Tate's soaring vocals against the brilliant guitar work and fiesty rhythm section gave them a sound all their own in a sea of hair, power chords and the occasional power ballad. After coming off 1988's concept album Operation: Mindcrime, the band were confident and ready to take the next step to superstardom. 1990's Empire is generally referred to as their best effort and was their best seller with more than 3 million in the US alone. Thanks to MTV and rock radio, Queensryche music was in the air in 1990 and 1991 (at least until the fall) thanks to big hit like the title track, Best I Can, Jet City Woman and Another Rainy Night (Without You) and perhaps the greatest hard rock power ballad of all time, Silent Lucidity. That last song topped the mainstream rock charts and landed in the top ten on Billboard. However, thanks to elements at work in their hometown, the party didn't last. Once Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit hit the airwaves in the fall of 1991, hard rock and hair metal would soon be shown the door by record companies looking to capitalize on the new trend. Though 1994's Promised Land went platinum and had some highlights, it was very out of place in the new flannel-clad culture. Eventually, DeGarmo would leave never to return and turmoil would separate Tate from his band in the 21st Century. However, this album stands as a testament to the bands talent and should be remembered as one of the best of the era.
