Ep 10: What Fostering & Adoption Teaches Us About Parenting--Interview with Jamie Young
04/18/19 • 25 min
We are excited to welcome Jamie as she shares her family's call to foster and adopt in the middle of raising their four biological kids. Listen in as one mother, who already mothered 11 of her younger siblings, realizes that all her parenting practice and years of raising her kids didn't always provide her with answers.
As parents, our kids teach us a lot about ourselves, especially how desperately we need God’s grace to parent well. And when you blend families through foster or adoption, we learn even more about ourselves than we cared to know. Listen in today as Jamie Young shares about her family’s call to foster and adopt and one of the most valuable insights she’s gained in parenting, one we can all benefit from hearing. If you feel this is something God’s asking of you or if you want to support those in your community who are already fostering or have adopted, join us as we explore the process and the journey through Jamie’s experience. She will give you tools, resources, and encouragement to be a better parent for your kids and a good friend to those called to opening up their home. Join us as we discover different tempos of grace, being adaptable, and how we benefit by staying teachable.

Ep 9: What Does It Take To Come Back To Your Faith
Listen in as Amy and Tammy share about their journeys when they first walked away from their faith and what it took for them to “come to our senses.” They give parents and friends of prodigals, insight into what most impacted them in the midst of their doubts, anger, and darkest questions about religion and God. Learn how each of us can be a light or how we can release and trust God with those who seemed to have lost their way. And discover the hope that awaits and greets every prodigal’s return to the One who never shames them for their past. How might God be showing up in the lives of a prodigal child? What ways can we best minister to someone who is struggling in their faith or seems to have walked away, altogether?
"While the son was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him." Luke 15:20, HCSB

Ep 11: Perseverance
Perseverance is often a hidden work, taking tiny obedient steps. God may ask us to pick back up an idea, passion, or project we laid down.
Listen in as Amy and Tammy talk about being open to not only letting go of a project or ministry but also to returning to it when God prompts us.
How does perseverance challenge the best of us? Where might God be asking you to persevere or lay something down?
