Season IV Exp #76 Deconstructing and rebuilding faith, adopting kids who need a home with Wes Edwards
It’s season 4, which means we are still here, still grinding… as they say, don’t call it a comeback we’ve been here for years! The first trilogy of the season, and or the next 3 episodes Luke talks to 3 men of faith, 3 men who are a part of a faith community, and 3 men who aren’t shy about what they believe yet at the same time realize we are all on a journey.
In Exp #76 Luke has a conversation with Wes Edwards, Executive Pastor at a local church in Scottsdale AZ. As an adult he’s served in his faith communities for over 25 years and has had to face his own times of doubt. The irony though, doubt led him to be more in tune with what he believes about God, who Jesus is, and why he’s still at it after all these years. Luke specifically asks Wes what he’d say to a skeptic or someone who has deconstructed their faith. Tune in to find out.
As a proud father to 3 adopted boys from Haiti Wes helps us understand that it takes grit to remain sane in todays racially divided communities. Adoption isn’t for the faint at heart nor is having a mixed family, but with determination, calling, and an anchor to our faith we can step into hard things and find the joy of fighting for the hearts of our kids. There are so many children who need more than a good home, they need fathers, fathers who will rise up and say yes, I’ll be their dad, I’ll call them my own.
