Awake Boston- with Sean McDowell

Awake Boston is  a two-night event designed to mobilize Christians toward awakening and renewal.

On October 24, 2025 at 6:00 PM Dr. Sean McDowell with lead a Master Class titled “If God, Why Evil”

The problem of evil and suffering is undoubtedly one of the greatest challenges raised against God. Christians must respond empathetically, but also with truth. Sean begins this session by providing a helpful road map for personally helping people who are suffering. He then tackles the intellectual challenge of evil, showing that the existence of evil itself is actually a positive proof for the existence of God, and that the so-called “problem of evil” does not pose a trenchant problem for the Christian faith.

An “Open Mic” Q&A time with Sean will immediately follow his presentation.

CarePortal Area Director for Eastern Massachusetts

CarePortal Area Director for Eastern Massachusetts

Click Here to Apply

OVERVIEW

You believe that people want to come together to care for the most vulnerable, yet they struggle to know who to help and how to connect. You know that children shouldn’t pay the highest price when families face extreme hardships, and you want to see the Church and the Community come together to care together. Colleagues would describe you as a steadfast organizational leader with a strategic mind, a compassionate heart, and a strong bias for action—a coalition builder committed to listening and facilitating unity (meaning concerted activity, not uniformity). Your ability to lead teams with clarity and humility while building relational partnerships to achieve measurable results allows you to be a positive agent for change.

CarePortal is Care-Sharing technology that drives action for local kids and families in crisis. We subscribe to the vision that through the Church and Community, there can be More Than Enough care for every child through the power of Care-Sharing in local communities before, during, and beyond foster care. The goal is transformation from child welfare to family well-being in the lives of hurting children/families, the Church, and the Community. We develop and mobilize robust Care-Sharing Networks and lead with Courage, Humility, and Excellence.

We do this through the local Church and in concert with child-serving organizations, businesses, and people who care – that’s where you come in.

POSITION SUMMARY
Area Director—Eastern Massachusetts


In this full-time role, you have a strong desire to see the strengthening and empowerment of the local children and families in your area, and you’re ready to lead and mobilize the CarePortal network in Massachusetts, one meaningful connection at a time. You’re goal-oriented, a self-starter, a creative problem-solver, and are committed to driving inspiration into action. You feel passionate about bridging the gap between child-serving
organizations, the Church, and business leaders to see transformation in your state–you’re energized by the opportunity to deepen and expand their impact by working together. You bring expertise in community engagement, networking, and fundraising and have the tenacity to both effectively cast the vision and develop the networks and resources needed to sustain it. You’re a leader that finds joy in cultivating a new market from the pilot phase and growing it to maturity. This position’s responsibilities will change as the area grows–from being boots on the ground to leading the area.


At CarePortal, we believe that children belong in the care of healthy, loving families and that families should be supported by a local church and caring members of their community. If you are ready to put your expertise to work for a mission you care deeply about, then join us, and let’s get started as we go all out to close the front door of the foster care system in Massachusetts and beyond.

Your Responsibilities Include


Pilot Phase:

  • Recruit, train, and empower churches, child-serving organizations, & community partners to make meaningful connections through the CarePortal network.

  • Maximize the impact of the local Care-Sharing network by communicating and collaborating with all network partners to achieve specific, data-driven outcomes as outlined by CarePortal Success Standards.
  • Implement national new market strategy and prepare collaborative operational plans for the state.


Growth Phase:

  • Build relationships with key government leaders, representing CarePortal in citywide and statewide policy and partnership conversations.
  • Raise sustainable public & private funding, and recruit Community Champions.
  • Hire, onboard, & supervise Regional Managers & other direct team members.
  • Deliver financial and operational impact results as outlined by CarePortal Success Standards.
  • Establish high-influence relationships in support of CarePortal.
  • Champion CarePortal culture of supportive accountability and employee well-being.

Transformational Listening: Soul Care Companions (TL1)

“I don’t want to walk away from God or my faith, but I don’t quite know how to walk with other Christians anymore…”

Perhaps you’ve said this yourself, had others confide something similar to you, or read in between the lines on social media posts. Whatever the case may be, this is something we hear & not just in the younger generations! When someone shares this with us, we don’t actually get discouraged, but hopeful. Hopeful, because we recognize the longing in them for a vulnerable relationship with God & one another that opens the door for true community. We believe one of the ways forward is through listening. But not just any listening, true contemplative & transformational listening that builds change & community. 10 years ago, we created our Transformational Listening: Soul Care Companions course with this in mind. Today it holds up to the test of time. Listening to God & one another makes a lasting difference. We can be contemplatives in action creating change in our inner lives with Christ & in our communities as we love one another. We have offered this course to church groups, organizations, & strangers that become lifelong friends. And now, we are offering it again to you. Will you join us?
