On today’s episode, we welcome Jim McConnell & Don Boudreaux:

God intervenes into our lives when we least expect it and in ways, we cannot understand. He turns decisions we aren’t expecting into good news and into possibilities. In this episode, Jim McConnell discusses the joys of adoption and foster parenting, the way a difficult decision led them to their ultimate role as parents. And Don Bourdeaux details his difficult experiences from war and how God led Him out on purpose to be a different kind of warfighter years later, a kingdom soldier.

Key Ideas:

* Adoption and foster parenting journey

* Listening to God’s voice

* Being a born again Christian
