Adoption Journeys: Episode #20 of The Martha + Mary Show

Adoption Journeys Episode 20 Martha Mary Show Lee Nienhuis Katie Reid podcast

There is speculation that Martha, Mary, and Lazarus were orphaned. Whether that was the case or not, we do know that adoption is close to God’s heart, as proven by Scripture and in His plan for redemption.

God adopts us, sons and daughters, through Christ’s sacrifice and our acceptance of Him, by faith.

In honor of National Adoption Month and because Lee and Katie have each adopted a child into their families, today’s episode is all about adoption. We answer some common questions, share stories of joy and loss, and cry some too. It is our prayer that at least one child would be adopted as a result of this episode.

Listen to the latest episode over here, on our podcast webpage, or access Episode #20 on your favorite podcast app.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
