In this episode, Rahn and Eric talk with Jenni Lord, founder and CEO of Chosen. She shares the heart behind Chosen, how it started, and the evolution of their mission to what it is today. Jenni shares her personal journey and experience with the adoption of her brother which ultimately led to the founding of Chosen over 15 years ago. Today, Chosen focuses on supporting families in the foster care and adoption system, addressing the trauma experienced by children and the challenges faced by caregivers. Jenni emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to healing, emotional safety, and practical tools for families to build healthy connections as part of a call for systemic changes in our approach to child welfare.

While Chosen has experienced remarkable success keeping families together, Jenni reminds us that the need is far greater than we realize, and the challenges facing families is likely much deeper than we imagine. Raising awareness and providing access to desperately needed resources to support families is paramount. They have launched their 100,000 strong initiative as part of their aerial strategy to help fundamentally shift child welfare in the U.S., and invite us to support their mission through prayer coverage, helping raise awareness of the services and training they provide, and through financial support. Above all, Jenni reminds us all that no child is beyond hope and healing, so we invite you to join us in support of Chosen’s mission to change the trajectory of families for generations.
