In this special solo episode recorded on Christmas Day, Angie pops into the office with her husband (with sick kids at home) and decides it’s the perfect moment to pause and say thank you.

Since launching the podcast in June, Angie has shared 26 regular episodes (plus bonus episodes), and she’s overwhelmed—in the best way—by how many lives have been touched. She opens up about taking a three-week break, battling that old familiar perfectionism, and then realizing something powerful: people noticed… and they missed it.

Angie also shares a sweet recap of their unforgettable family Christmas—renting a cabin near Gatlinburg with all seven kids, spouses, and 14 grandkids, making memories at Dollywood, laughing through a legendary white elephant gift exchange, and soaking in the gift of togetherness.

And at the heart of it all, Angie brings it back to what matters most: Jesus. Because without Him—His birth, redemption, and resurrection—none of it has meaning.

This episode is a warm hug, a thank-you note, and a faith-filled reset as we head into a brand new year… with more coming in 2026.

In this heartfelt follow-up to the adoption series, Angie sits down to reflect on the incredible journey God has led her through—from raising seven children (four biological and three adopted) to walking through seasons of rebellion, redemption, and renewal in her marriage.

After interviewing her youngest son about his adoption story, Angie shares the profound moment that brought her to tears—his simple, powerful words of gratitude for his birth mother’s choice to give him life. That reflection leads Angie into a raw and deeply honest conversation about God’s love and faithfulness, even when we fall short.

In this solo episode, Angie opens up for the first time about the hidden battles behind her 37-year marriage—including multiple seasons of infidelity—and how God restored what was broken, three times over. Her message is one of radical grace, healing, and hope for anyone who has wondered if their story can be redeemed.

In this episode:

• Reflections from interviewing her adopted sons

• What her 17-year-old said that moved her to tears

• Learning to see God’s love “in spite of myself”

• Overcoming infidelity and finding restoration through faith

• Why no story is too far gone for redemption

This is one of Angie’s most vulnerable and redemptive episodes yet—an invitation to believe that no matter how messy your story is, God can still make it beautiful.

In this powerful National Adoption Month episode, I sit down with my friend Jennie Landreth—adoptive mom, long-time pro-life advocate, and Development Director at Choices in Chattanooga.

Jennie shares the tender, behind-the-scenes story of adopting her daughter Abby:

• the heartbreak of a disrupted first adoption

• the brave birth mom who chose a “Plan B” out of deep love

• how Jennie and her husband came to see adoption as a picture of God’s redemptive love

We also dive into the life-changing work happening at Choices—a crisis pregnancy center that:

• meets women in crisis with compassion, not judgment

• removes practical obstacles with ultrasounds, parenting classes, baby supplies, and real community

• supports moms and dads long after the positive test

• runs completely on donations (no state or federal funding), trusting God to provide every dollar

If you’ve ever wondered what adoption really looks like from the inside…
If your heart beats for unborn babies and their mamas…
Or if you’re curious how one local ministry is literally saving lives and rewriting family legacies—this conversation will move you deeply.

Grab a tissue, friend. 💛

In this powerful episode of The Angie Ambrosetti Show, Angie sits down with Katie King—a wife, mom of three, and adoptee—to share the often-unspoken side of adoption: what it feels like from the inside out. Katie opens up about being adopted as an infant, the impact of early separation from her birth mother, and how the concept of the “primal wound” helped her finally make sense of lifelong feelings of rejection, anxiety, people-pleasing, and addiction.

You’ll hear how her loving adoptive parents walked with her through the tension of being “so different,” how she eventually reconnected with her birth family, and why that reunion—while beautiful—also brought layers of grief, complexity, and perspective. Angie and Katie also talk honestly about the adoption “triangle”: the adoptee, the birth parents, and the adoptive parents, and the deep courage, loss, and love that often sit in each corner.

Whether you’re an adoptive parent, a birth parent, an adoptee yourself, or someone who loves any of the above, this conversation will give you language, compassion, and hope. Katie also shares thoughtful advice for anyone wrestling with whether or not to seek out their biological family, and Angie ties it all back to a core truth from her coaching: the way we relate to ourselves shapes every relationship and circumstance in our lives.

We also mention the book The Primal Wound by Nancy Newton Verrier in this episode, sounds like a must read!

In this heartfelt solo episode for National Adoption Month, Angie pulls back the curtain on the full arc of her family’s adoption story—how a simple prayer (“Lord, expand our territory”) grew into welcoming three extraordinary sons through adoption. From a vasectomy reversal that became a ministry moment, to a phone call that changed everything on December 26th, to the holy grit of induced lactation and midnight pumping sessions—this is a raw, faith-filled look at how God knit a family together in ways she never expected.

Angie shares the tender, unfiltered realities of bringing home two newborns affected by drugs at birth (Elijah and Ian), the long nights of praying and rocking, the surprising comfort of nursing as an adoptive mom, and the unbreakable bond that formed between siblings—including big brother Braydon. You’ll also hear how their story fuels Angie’s passion to support life-affirming ministries and teenage moms, and why adoption has become a living picture of how Christ welcomes us into His family—fully, completely, without distinction.

In this episode:

• The prayer of Jabez and a call to expand—long before adoption was on the radar

• A “yes” at the kitchen table that changed their family forever

• Induced lactation, NICU realities, and hard-but-holy newborn months

• Loving children through withdrawal, bonding, and thriving

• Why their older kids say the younger three are “spoiled” (and what that really means)

• An invitation to consider how God might be expanding your territory

In this special Adoption Month episode, I sit down with my youngest, Ian Ambrosetti—the red-haired, glasses-rocking baby of our crew of seven—to share his side of our family’s story. Ian takes us back to the day he found out he was adopted (spoiler: the reveal happened on a boat and he thought the surprise was a puppy 😅). You’ll hear how he processed the news at age 12 with peace, gratitude, and a deep sense that God had a plan for him long before he knew it.

We talk big-family life (he became an uncle three times at age seven and is now Uncle x14), what he loves about being homeschooled, and how dyslexia led us to a surprising tool that helped him focus—LEGOs. Ian also shares where his music and film-acting journey is headed, and he gifts us a quick, impromptu a cappella moment from a church song that’s been on his heart.

It’s tender, honest, and faith-filled—complete with a thank-you to his birth mom for choosing life and love. Follow Ian’s journey on Instagram and TikTok (links in the show notes), and if this episode encouraged you, tap follow and leave a quick review to help more families find hope.

In this third episode of our National Adoption Month series, Angie sits down with her son, Elijah Ambrosetti, to share a raw, unedited conversation about identity, belonging, and God’s gentle guidance. Elijah recounts the unforgettable day on the lake when he and his brothers learned they were adopted—after he’d dreamed the moment weeks before. He opens up about his gift of discernment, the unique bond with his biological brother Ian, growing up in a big, faith-filled, homeschooled family, and the steady wisdom he’s received from his dad (including one memorable dating tip!).

Listeners will be encouraged by Elijah’s gratitude for his birth mom’s courageous decision, his perspective on navigating public-school sports while homeschooled, and the simple, steady faith practices that anchor him today. If you’ve ever wondered how adoption weaves a family together—or how God speaks through dreams, gut checks, and everyday moments—you’ll feel seen, strengthened, and inspired.

You’ll hear about:

• The boat-day reveal Elijah dreamed before it happened

• Discernment, red flags, and learning to pray it through

• Brothers by biology and by choice: Elijah & Ian’s unspoken bond

• Big-family chaos (hello, Thanksgiving!) and homeschool freedom

• Dad’s parable-style wisdom that sticks for life

In honor of National Adoption Month, I’m sitting down with my friend Cristina Simmons—wife, mama of three, speaker, coach, and publisher—to share a tender, hope-filled story only God could write. After walking through rare-gene infant loss (three times) and a miscarriage, Cristina and her husband said yes to adoption… and got the call on Christmas Day for twin baby girls. Later, God grew their family again with a son whose autism diagnosis even reshaped Cristina’s career path and perspective.

We talk candidly about:

• Loving children you didn’t birth and the moment that love “clicks”

• NICU realities, withdrawal symptoms, sleep struggles, and school hurdles

• Anxiety, short-term memory challenges, and practical supports that helped

• How grief gave way—slowly—to laughter, community, and calling

• Why Cristina sees adoption as a living picture of the Gospel

If you’re an adoptive or foster parent (or just curious), this conversation will wrap you in courage and remind you: God really does orchestrate the details. Share this with a friend who needs hope today—and don’t forget to rate & review the show!

In this heartwarming episode of The Angie Ambrosetti Show: Let Her Out to Play, Angie sits down with her son Braydon — the first of her three adopted boys — to share their family’s incredible story of how God wove adoption into their lives.

What began as a simple prayer for a child in need turned into a divine journey that reshaped their family forever. Angie opens up about hearing God’s call to “expand their family,” the moment she first met Braydon, and the powerful parallel between earthly adoption and our spiritual adoption into God’s family.

Braydon joins in with his honest, gentle perspective — reflecting on family bonds, growing up alongside six siblings, discovering his adoption story at eighteen, and what it’s meant to be part of a big, faith-filled home.

In the second half, Angie and Braydon talk about homeschooling, their 26-year journey of learning together, and how education in their home looked more like life — reading by the fire, traveling for lessons, and finding God’s fingerprints in everyday moments.

✨ Highlights you’ll love:

• The incredible story of how prayer led to adoption

• How Angie and her husband learned to “love even more”

• What it was like for Braydon to find out he was adopted

• The beauty of homeschooling as a lifestyle, not a system
