About two years ago, we started We Made People—a podcast about marriage and family for first-generation Christians. We wanted it raw, real, and relatable—not perfect heroes, just honest guides with some hard-won wisdom. We named it We Made People because, well, we have—nine of them. But right after we launched, life hit hard.My mom went in for a routine surgery that went wrong. Months of hospitals and heartbreak followed, and when she passed, it split our life in two: before and after. God carried us through with faithful friends and a church that showed up.That season taught us to slow down—to stop living in the red and learn to “get back to green.” Rest isn’t laziness; it’s obedience.So here we are. Back at it. New episodes. Same goal. Still about marriage, family, and the good fight of faith.Welcome back to We Made People. Get full access to This is Foster at www.thisisfoster.com/subscribe
