The OneFamily Podcast
Families connected to the US Foster Care system face many challenges. Vulnerable and at-risk families need continued support to rise above their situation and raise their children in a healthy way. Foster and adoptive families also need support to help them do what God calls them to do. Relative caregivers must be supported as they step into the role of caring for their grandchildren. This support provides stability for these families who are on the frontlines.
OneFamily's mission is to engage, equip, and empower bio families, foster families, adoptive families, and relative caregivers through wholehearted community support. Because when the community supports its families, the families within that community flourish.

Episode 25 | Vertical vs Horizontal
In this powerful episode of the OneFamily Podcast, Stephen Hogue shares a deeply personal journey of learning to live vertically—drawing identity, joy, and fulfillment from God alone—rather than horizontally, seeking value through people, circumstances, or performance.
Through stories of family, adoption, and seasons of deep hurt, Stephen unpacks how God shifted his perspective with one life-changing revelation: If God is good, and He lives inside you, then you are good. This truth transformed his outlook, freed him from insecurity, and brought lasting peace.
With Scripture, real-life examples, and heartfelt encouragement, this episode will help you realign your source of identity and strength, reminding you that joy comes from the Lord—not from fleeting circumstances.
