Welcome to the ReStoried Podcast. In this episode, Brian shares his journey navigating the delicate balance between clarity and courage in life's pivotal decisions. From grappling with cancer to reuniting with former foster children and making tough church choices, he’s often found himself yearning for crystal-clear direction amidst the uncertainty.

In conversations about foster care, Brian has often heard people share the sentiment of "one day" without actually taking the leap. Fear and doubt often hold people back, leaving them frozen in indecision. But amidst the turmoil, he has discovered unexpected blessings and unwavering community support, reminding him of the power of courage and trust.

Scripture has guided Brian’s journey, emphasizing the importance of courageous obedience over exhaustive clarity (1 John 3:16-18; Joshua 1:6–9; Proverbs 3:5–6). Like David facing Goliath, he’s learned that faithfulness often means stepping forward with trust, even when the path ahead is murky.

In conclusion, Brian’s experiences have taught him that God values our willingness to step out in faith, even when the way forward is uncertain. Through fostering vulnerable children, he’s witnessed firsthand the transformative power of courage and obedience, both in the family’s lives and in his. Join Brian as he reflects on the profound intersection of clarity and courage in our journey of faith and purpose.
