In the fifth episode of the second season of the Mended Futures Podcast, Jeff Nitz, CEO of FIVE18, joins Evan and Liz to share thoughtful conversations about what 2026 holds. He speaks about advancing the Vision30 goal of placing every child in a safe home surrounded by a faithful community by 2030. Drawing on his own family of adopted and biological children, he reflects on what he’s learned about healing childhood trauma as a father and a Traumatologist. He also emphasizes the need for community nonprofits to link arms, walking side-by-side in a healing response for our community’s children. Finally, he invites listeners to consider their gifts, time, and resources, showing how each of us can play a part in a shared mission of hope and healing. In this, he lays out a pathway for realizing community healing by leaning on each other.
