173: Helping Vulnerable Kids Heal – Whole-Person Practices for Families & Churches with Dr. Steve Grcevich & Rachel Medefind of CAFO

December 12, 2025

What helps vulnerable kids truly heal and thrive—especially children navigating disability, trauma, foster care, or adoption?


In this conversation, Dr. Steve Grcevich sits down with Rachel Medefind, Director of the

Institute for Family Centered Healing and Health at the Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO), to explore how God uses loving families, local churches, and simple daily practices to foster whole-person health. Drawing from her own story, her work at CAFO, and current research, Rachel offers deeply hopeful, gospel-rooted encouragement for parents, foster and adoptive families, and church leaders who want to walk faithfully with vulnerable kids.
