In part two with Kaycee Stanley, we're talking about what the Reel Hope Project actually does — and why it matters more than most of us realize. Kaycee and her team make profile videos for kids in foster care who are waiting to be adopted, turning a county file full of hard statistics into a two-minute window into who a kid actually is. Funny. Creative. Worth knowing. Worth choosing.
We hear about the kids who didn't want to be adopted — until they saw themselves the way Kaycee’s team saw them. We talk about what it looks like to sit with someone in grief without rushing them out of it, and why fun might be the most underrated tool for connection in any relationship.
And then Kaycee shares something her mentor told her in her early 20s that reframed community entirely. If the goal is just to be best friends, it'll never hold. But if you're all holding onto Jesus at the center — you'll work through whatever.. That's not just advice for roommates. It's advice for marriage, for small groups, for anyone trying to build something real with imperfect people.
If you've been waiting for community to happen to you, this episode is a gentle nudge to start pursuing it — with intention, with vision, and with Jesus at the center.
