Our Adoption Story: Saying Yes to an Unexpected Calling

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2504042/fan_mail/new] In this deeply personal episode, we share the story of how adoption unexpectedly became part of our family’s journey. What started with a book, a phone call, and a lot of prayer quickly turned into one of the most life-changing and beautiful decisions we’ve ever made. We talk about bringing our youngest daughter home through adoption, navigating the fears and unknowns that came with the process, and learning what it truly means to trust God in parenting. We also open up about the emotional realities of adoption — the grief, the healing, the questions adopted children carry, and the incredible ways God brings beauty from broken places. Whether you’re considering adoption, walking through foster care, supporting an adoptive family, or simply wanting to understand God’s heart for adoption more deeply, this conversation is full of honesty, hope, and encouragement. In this episode, we discuss: * How God unexpectedly led us into adoption * The emotional and practical realities of adopting * Trusting God when you feel unprepared * The connection between earthly adoption and spiritual adoption * Common fears adoptive parents face * How the church can support foster and adoptive families * Why adoption reflects the heart of God We pray this episode encourages anyone navigating adoption, foster care, or the calling to open their heart and home to a child in need.

Mother's Day Reflections: A Special Episode For Moms

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2504042/fan_mail/new] In this special Mother’s Day episode, we take an honest and encouraging look at the real journey of motherhood—the beautiful, the chaotic, and everything in between. From funny family memories (including a not-so-memorable Mother’s Day meal) to heartfelt reflections on raising kids through every stage, this conversation is full of relatable moments every mom will understand. We talk about the pressures moms face today, the myth of “doing it all,” and the freedom that comes from letting go of unrealistic expectations. You’ll also hear wisdom on balancing marriage and motherhood, supporting each other as parents, and why keeping your relationship strong matters more than perfection at home. Most importantly, we dive into the power of prayer and learning to trust God with your children—especially in seasons where you feel overwhelmed, unsure, or stretched thin. If you’re a mom in the thick of it, this episode is a reminder that God sees you, your work matters, and you’re not alone.

What Is Love? What It Is And What It Isn't In Marriage

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2504042/fan_mail/new] What is love—really? In a culture where love is often defined by feelings, what happens when those feelings fade? In this episode, we take a deeper look at what love actually is and how it’s meant to function in real relationships. Using the timeless definition found in 1 Corinthians 13, we unpack how love is less about emotion and more about action—choosing patience, kindness, forgiveness, and selflessness even on the hard days. Through honest conversation and real-life stories from our own marriage, we talk about: * Why feelings alone can’t sustain a relationship * What to do when you’ve “lost the feeling” * How everyday choices shape the health of your marriage * Practical ways to love your spouse when it doesn’t come naturally If your relationship feels strained, disconnected, or just not what it used to be, this episode will help you reset your perspective and take a step toward something stronger. Because lasting love isn’t built on how you feel—it’s built on how you choose to love.
