Stepping out in Faith with Dan Schwartz

In this powerful episode of Open Seat, we sit down with Dan Schwartz to explore what it truly means to step out in faith—especially when the path ahead is uncertain.

Dan shares his journey about discovering the Catholic faith later in life, a decision that came after years of searching, questioning, and ultimately surrender. But it’s his family’s story that brings faith to life in a profound way. Through their experience as foster parents, Dan,his wife Beverly and their two children, opened their home and their hearts to multiple children, learning to love deeply while also learning how to let go.

What begins as a difficult “yes” to fostering becomes a story filled with unexpected grace, miracles, and ultimately, adoption —a moment Dan describes as nothing short of divine providence.

Throughout the conversation, Dan reflects on the importance of prayer, trust, and discernment when facing life’s biggest decisions. He also speaks candidly about forgiveness, family struggles, and recognizing the spiritual battles that often lie beneath everyday challenges.

This episode is a moving reminder that stepping out in faith isn’t always easy—but it’s often where the most meaningful moments of our lives unfold.
