Serving Families In Broken Situations, Tara Boer

Faculty Work Comprehensive List

"We are entrusted to walk alongside people during some of the most difficult and vulnerable times in their lives. It’s work that God could do without us but God still allows us to be a part of it. Social workers show up when abuse is occurring, when violence is erupting, and when homes are dirty.

The good news is that God made our brains so thoughtfully that they can actually grow and change."

Seek Justice, Encourage The Oppressed, Abby M. Foreman

Faculty Work Comprehensive List
