Adoption as a Picture of the Gospel Mar 14, 2024

Show notes

This episode was originally recorded for The Radically Christian Bible Study Podcast hosted by Wes McAdams. Kyle and Leah open up about the emotional journey of foster care and adoption. They discuss having to surrender their own desires and trust God’s plan for each child. Adoption gave them a deeper understanding of God’s unconditional love for all people. It also showed the redemptive power of God turning broken situations into beautiful stories. This is a moving episode sharing an intimate adoption journey and the lessons it teaches about God’s redeeming love.

Spiritual Burnout Mar 04, 2024

Show notes

Parenting can be deeply rewarding, but also intensely draining. In our efforts to be present and patient with our children, it's easy for our own spiritual reservoirs to run dry, and if that happens, we risk spiritual burnout - that sense of depletion is where we feel disconnected from our deeper purpose. To avoid this, we parents must prioritize our spiritual self-care, whether through meditation, journaling, time in nature, or any practice that reconnects us with God. Doing so grants us the strength, wisdom, and calm needed to maintain harmony in our homes and model spiritual well-being for our children. Micah Williams, the Preaching Minister at 7th and Mueller Church of Christ in Paragould, AR talks with us about what spiritual burnout may look like, how we can better understand it, and things we can do to battle it.
