Those less fortunate

May 11, 2026

In "Hope in a Hurricane," we see many characters grappling with significant challenges who have a history of childhood trauma. The Bible teaches us that we are born with sinful desires. However, that doesn’t mean we are born inherently broken. For those who do experience profound brokenness, it is often the result of troubling circumstances in their environment. The formative years of childhood play a crucial role in shaping individuals: most find love and support, while others endure unspeakable hardships that can leave lasting scars.

I hold a deep concern for these vulnerable children. It is vital to acknowledge the impact of such trauma and seek ways to support their healing and recovery.

One organization that I have been proud to support is Upbring. This foundation has been dedicated to providing care and refuge for children who have faced trauma for over a century, operating several homes across Texas. Upbring offers a safe environment where children can begin to heal and find hope for a brighter future. If you would like to learn more about their important work, please visit Upbring.org.
