Today, we are joined by Josh Weigel, writer and director of \u201cSound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot.\u201d Josh shares the inspiring journey behind the making of the film and his personal experience as a father of adopted children. The film follows Donna and Rev. W.C. Martin, a couple who led the charge of adopting children in their town of Possum Trot, Texas. Their efforts sparked a movement, and soon their entire town followed suit. Josh delves into how meeting the real people behind Possum Trot inspired him to create the film and what the lives of these families look like now. He also discusses some of the significant issues in the foster care system, including how some left-leaning states limit the rights of Christian parents to adopt. Join us as we explore what can be done to make positive changes in the foster care system and support families who are willing to open their homes to children in need.\n\nGet tickets for the movie: https://www.angel.com/movies/sound-of-hope-the-story-of-possum-trot\n\nGet your tickets for Share the Arrows: https://www.sharethearrows.com/\n\nPre-order Allie's new book: https://a.co/d/4COtBxy\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:55) How Josh started the film\n(03:50) The story of Possum Trot\n(08:10) Foster care crisis & keeping Christians from adopting\n(17:55) The cost of adopting\n(20:55) Possum Trot community\n(25:00) How to fix the system\n(29:30) Generational impact\n(40:00) The dignity of children\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nSeven Weeks Coffee \u2014 try Seven Weeks Coffee today at\xa0SevenWeeksCoffee.com\xa0and use the promo code: ALLIE to save 10% off your order.\n\nWe Heart Nutrition \u2014 nourish your body with research-backed ingredients in your vitamins at\xa0WeHeartNutrition.com\xa0and use promo code ALLIE for 20% off.\n\nJase Medical \u2014 get up to a year\u2019s worth of many of your prescription medications delivered in advance.
