Description

Bishop WC Martin is an American pastor, author, adoption advocate, and the inspiration for the upcoming Angel Studios film, The Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, releasing in partnership with DailyWire+. As the pastor of Bennett Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Possum Trot, Texas, Bishop Martin and his wife Donna adopted 4 children and persuaded their entire community to do the same. Ultimately, 77 children were adopted into 22 loving families in their small Texas town. In today’s episode, Bishop Martin and I discuss the problems within the current foster care system and the role of the church in successful adoption stories. Bishop Martin also shares personal anecdotes about raising his adopted children and a few behind-the-scenes moments from the making of the movie. Don’t miss this heartening conversation about family and faith on this episode of the Sunday Special. - - -  Today’s Sponsors: PureTalk - Get 50% Off Your First Month! http://www.PureTalk.com/SHAPIRO Black Rifle Coffee - Give back by drinking America's coffee! https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ This video includes information, descriptions, video, and images meant to give important context to viewers.

I gotta say, the Bishop really hit the nail on the head about foster children and their problems. These poor kids.

Ben is a great interviewer. He doesn't have to hear his own voice.

Man, oh, man! My husband and I have adopted 7 kids from the foster system. EVERYTHING Bishop Martin is saying is spot on. We sadly recently closed our license due to the terrible mistreatment from our workers/the system. We would LOVE to adopt again; right now, we are raw from the behaviors that our kids have and the lack of support. If we had the Possum Trot families' support, I think our lives would be much different. There is so much depth in Bishop Martin's every word. May this movie change the foster care system significantly.
