"Upstream thinking is essential to address any crisis effectively. But this metaphor can also be dangerously nearsighted. Ultimately, the best efforts require a "wide vision and narrow focus."

That includes taking into account the whole watershed, from the headwaters of culture all the way down to the future impacts of the present crisis. But we need not be overwhelmed.

Different from the world, for the world.

“What our world needs most is not just more of the same. It needs what is rare—uncommon gifts that are different, unusual, even strange. In a word, distinct.”

The CAFO Research Center has announced two groundbreaking new studies in child welfare research: one on the spiritual habits of child welfare leaders and one on the perspectives of biological children from foster, adoptive and kinship families.

[Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO) @CAFOalliance]

These studies will investigate the impact of spiritual practices on child welfare leaders and perspectives of adult biological children from foster and adoptive homes. CAFO is seeking participants to take an anonymous 30-minute online survey, open between now and March 21, 2025.

In our journey of becoming, there are things in life that we wish would never have happened. But as Jason Johnson, so eloquently shared through personal testimony, it is through these trials that we receive beautiful and powerful gifts.
