Welcome back to the podcast. Today's episode is a little different because we're sharing some really exciting—and honestly, emotional—news. If you've been with us for a while, you probably know that Family Brand has been a huge part of our lives for the last seven years. It's been a dream, a calling, a business, and in many ways, something we've grown right alongside our own family. So today, we're sharing that Family Brand has officially been acquired by Libertas. Before we go any further, though, I want you to know this: we're not going anywhere. Chris and I are still very much part of Family Brand, and we're more excited than ever about what comes next. As we've reflected on this journey, I keep coming back to where it all started. Years ago, I found myself at a crossroads, wondering whether I should return to nursing or pursue this little idea that just wouldn't leave me alone. I couldn't fully explain it, but I felt this persistent impression that I was supposed to help build stronger families. I had no idea what that would look like. I didn't know how to start a podcast, build programs, or run a business. I just knew I needed to take the next step. Looking back now, it's incredible to see what can happen when you simply say "yes" to something that feels bigger than yourself. When the opportunity came to partner with Connor Boyack and the team at Libertas, I honestly wrestled with it. Family Brand has felt like one of our children. We've poured our hearts into it, celebrated victories, worked through setbacks, and watched it slowly grow. One day while I was journaling, an analogy came to me that brought so much peace. It felt like giving a child up for adoption—not because she wasn't loved, but because she could have opportunities we simply couldn't provide on our own. And the beautiful part was realizing we weren't saying goodbye. We would still get to watch her grow, cheer her on, and continue being part of the story. That perspective changed everything for me. What makes this transition feel so right is the alignment. From our very first conversations with Connor, it became clear that we shared the same heart: helping families become stronger. We weren't looking to sell Family Brand, but we were looking for ways to reach more people. Seeing Family Brand become part of an organization that already serves families in so many incredible ways feels less like an ending and more like an expansion of the original mission. And already, we're watching ideas we've dreamed about for years begin to take shape with resources and a team that can bring them to life. If there's one thing I hope you take away from this episode, it's this: don't let not knowing how stop you from saying yes to what you're being called to do. So often we think we need the whole roadmap before we begin, but that's almost never how it works. You take the first step, and then the next one appears. Family Brand exists today because we were willing to start before we felt ready. And now, this next chapter exists because we were willing to trust that sometimes the greatest act of stewardship is letting something you've built become even bigger than you imagined. We truly can't wait to see where this journey goes next—and we're so grateful you've been on it with us from the very beginning.

Adopted Israelites Part 16 Chris Mullins Download
Zac Rybak preaches from Ephesians 1:5-6 where we see that we are adopted as children of God. And this adoptions reveals that the God who saves us is the Father who claims us as his own.
Today, Pastor Mike continues his sermon series, "Summer Road Trip." This morning's message, “Adopted by the Perfect Father,” comes from Galatians 4:4-7.
Considering who God is and who we are it's comforting to know how much He cares for us. He is the best Father in the universe. How awesome that we are privileged to have a relationship with the Creator and sustainer of everything. As we await the the end of time as we know it, we have an imperishable inheritance awaiting us. In the meantime, we can rely on God to meet all our needs here on earth.
Miss Mississippi Anna Leah Jolly (Part 2): Adoption, Emotional Intelligence Tools & Gospel-Centered Connection | The TableIn Part Two of The Table (Lifeline Children's Services), host Rick Morton continues his conversation with Anna Leah Jolly—Miss Mississippi, dance studio owner, author, and adoption advocate—about using her adoption story and the Miss Mississippi platform to point to “God confidence” and share the gospel. Anna Leah describes creating LimitlessPower2Connect.com and a children's book on emotional intelligence and the emotion wheel, supported by a CASA grant to distribute resources to kids in the court system. She and Rick discuss pressures adoptive families feel to perform, the importance of prayer and community, and how the gospel fosters connection and transformation from the inside out. Anna Leah shares why therapy felt scary at first and how her tools help parents and children talk safely about feelings and trauma, and she highlights her books available through Barnes & Noble.00:00 Welcome Back and Setup01:07 Tools for Connection01:28 From Trauma to Resources02:25 Limitless and Miss Mississippi04:09 Scholarships and God's Provision06:12 Using the Platform for Gospel06:55 Pageants and Legacy07:44 Proving Yourself Pressure10:45 Parents and Performance Anxiety12:38 Spotlight Myth and Endurance15:09 Pain in Adoption and Prayer17:28 Privacy and Boundaries18:43 Trauma Bonding in Adoption19:54 Faith Lived Not Forced21:12 Courtroom Misconceptions23:48 God Is Limitless25:00 Love and Attachment29:04 Advice to Adopted Kids30:12 Resources and Books32:12 Therapy Without Fear33:47 Bible as the Manual34:20 Closing Thanks and Wrap

For some people, the biggest surprises in life don’t come from strangers… they come from discovering something about their own story. Finding out you were adopted can be a life-changing moment, whether it happens through a family conversation, a forgotten document, a relative letting it slip, or even a DNA test that reveals the truth. Some people say it brought them a deeper understanding of who they are, while others felt shocked, confused, or even betrayed that something so big was kept from them. Today we want to hear your story: How did you find out you were adopted? Who told you, and what was going through your mind when you found out?

Having only moved out of their grandmother’s house five months earlier, the renter was still figuring out the world of renting. They questioned the landlord, asking where in the lease it said working remotely was not allowed or that it justified a rent increase. After being asked to show the rule, the landlord allegedly stopped replying. People online were divided but many found the situation ridiculous, pointing out that working from home doesn’t automatically turn your apartment into an office. The tenant wasn’t seeing clients, storing stock, or running a company from the living room they were just doing their 9-to-5 job. Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

In this prayerful episode for Flag Day, Lynette Kittle reflects on what the American flag has meant to generations of citizens who have lived under its colors, fought beneath it, and looked to it as a symbol of the freedoms they hold dear. Adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777, the flag has witnessed war, sacrifice, and the ongoing pursuit of a more perfect union, and it still stirs the hearts of those who love what it represents. From the iconic photograph of six Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima to Isaiah's imagery of banners lifted on mountaintops, the raising of a flag has always carried weight. It speaks in an instant of a nation, its people, and its values. On Flag Day, Lynette invites us to do more than admire the symbol — she calls us to pray over it, asking God that the nation it represents would be one that truly honors His name, walks in His ways, and stands for the freedom that comes not only from the Constitution, but from Jesus Christ Himself. As Dr. Jerry Newcombe describes it, the American flag represents "self-rule under God," and that is worth both celebrating and interceding for. Today's Bible Verse "Till you are left like a flagstaff on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill." — Isaiah 30:17, NIV Ponder Today A nation's flag is more than a symbol. It is a witness. In a single glance, a flag communicates what a nation stands for, who its people are, and what they value. What we pray for our flag is ultimately what we pray for our nation. Flag Day is an invitation to intercession, not just celebration. Gratitude for what our nation has been is inseparable from prayer for what it can yet become. Let patriotism lead you to your knees on behalf of the country you love. Much blood has been shed defending what the flag represents. The sacrifice of those who served beneath its colors deserves our remembrance and our gratitude, on Flag Day and every day. The truest hope for any nation is that it would trust in God. Laws, constitutions, and military strength all have their place, but a nation's greatest foundation is the acknowledgment that its liberties and blessings ultimately come from Him. A Prayer for You Today Dear Father, we pray for our nation's flag to wave in humbleness and hope, representing a country that honors and glorifies Your name above all others. Let it be carried and waved by a people who follow Your ways. Let it stand, too, for the true freedom given to us through Jesus Christ, God's gift to every person who receives His salvation and freedom from sin. With sincere hearts, we ask You to make America a nation that truly trusts in You, and may our flag reflect that trust to the world. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!Question: Our daughter is 11 months old and was adopted through an open adoption. We have a relationship with her birth mother, but don't yet feel it's the right moment to ask about family history, and her birth father is completely unknown to us. We do know that both birth parents are Hispanic, but beyond that, we have no additional information about her heritage or background. We want her to grow up with as rich a sense of her identity and heritage as possible. What guidance do adoption professionals offer around using genetic testing like 23andMe or AncestryDNA for adoptees? Is there an age-appropriate time to do this, or is it better to wait and let her decide for herself when she's older?

Adopted Israelites Part 14 Chris Mullins Download
"He leads out the prisoners into prosperity. Only the rebellious live in a parched land." — Psalm 68:6It sounds like a contradiction, but true freedom doesn't come from doing whatever we want—it comes from total surrender to the One who made us. In this powerful message, Pastor Rob breaks down "The Freedom of Surrender" and reveals how letting go of our rebellion opens the door to God's ultimate plan for our lives.True life and freedom are found when we stop running and start surrendering. When we align our hearts with God, He doesn't take away our freedom; He takes away our chains. Join us as we explore how surrender brings us into God's family, activates His divine advantage in our lives, and replaces a dry, parched existence with true prosperity.IN THIS MESSAGE:Adopted into a Family: Why we were never meant to walk through life alone, and how God takes us from being isolated strangers to full legal heirs.The Divine Advantage: How surrendering to Christ allows Him to redeem your past, break you out of spiritual prisons, and lead you into true success.The Trap of Rebellion: Understanding why fighting for control only leads to a "parched land" of heavy discipline, and how honesty brings instant relief.SERMON NOTES & OUTLINE:I. ADOPTION BY GODGod is building a family. We were never designed for isolation. When you surrender to Christ, you are no longer a foreigner—you are an adopted child of God, and the Lord Himself takes you in.Scripture: John 10:10, Genesis 2:18, Psalm 142:4, Ecclesiastes 4:10-12, Ephesians 2:19, Galatians 3:29, Romans 8:15-16, Psalm 27:10II. ADVANTAGE FROM GODGod doesn't just manage your past; He redeems it by throwing your sins into the depths of the sea. True prosperity is the internal transformation that gives you the power and desire to show others the night-and-day difference He made for you.Scripture: Micah 7:9, Hebrews 10:17, Philippians 2:13, Ephesians 4:28, 1 Peter 2:9III. ALIGNMENT WITH GODRebellion always creates more restrictions. Trying to hide our guilt and run from God only drains our strength. True freedom is unlocked the moment we choose humility, stop hiding, and completely surrender to Him.Scripture: Psalm 68:6, Psalm 32:2-5, Matthew 10:39

In this series of The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward, we're discussing the role technology and data could play in solving some of the biggest challenges facing the coffee industry.This conversation was never intended to become a podcast. It originally took place as part of one of Map It Forward's monthly Patreon Discussion Groups, where coffee professionals from across the value chain gather to explore important industry topics. The conversation was so insightful that everyone involved agreed it should be shared publicly.In this episode, Lee Safar is joined by Oscar Montoya (Data Scientist and Coffee Farm Owner), Luci Reid (Agroecologist), Matthew Thornton (Founder of Arkena Coffee Marketplace), Samo Smrke (Coffee Scientist), and Liam O'Connell (Business Analyst).The discussion shifts from technology itself to one of the industry's biggest challenges: adoption. Why do some technologies gain traction while others disappear? Why do so many tools designed to help producers struggle to gain trust and long-term use?Luci Reid introduces the idea that farmers are increasingly becoming data providers, but not necessarily data users. The group explores whether coffee producers are receiving enough value in exchange for the information they are being asked to provide and whether many technologies are unintentionally becoming extractive rather than empowering.The conversation also examines digital literacy, infrastructure limitations, trust, internet access, certification requirements, and the importance of designing tools that solve real problems for producers rather than simply collecting more information from them.This episode asks a difficult question: if technology is supposed to help farmers, are we designing it around their needs or our own?To join our monthly discussion groups on Patreon, head to https://www.patreon.com/mapitforward and signup to our "Roasted Coffee Tier" for $20 per month.If you found this episode valuable, make sure you're subscribed to the podcast and follow along for the rest of this 5-part series.

Creating a Family: Talk about Infertility, Adoption & Foster Care
Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!Are you considering residential treatment for your adopted child? We speak with Daniel Hochstetler of Fair Play Camp in South Carolina about preparing our families for residential treatment, navigating the programs, and how to set our families up for success after treatment. In this episode, we talk about:Pursuing residential treatment is one of the hardest decisions adoptive families can face. Based on your experience, how should we think about residential treatment within the broader picture of supporting our adopted kids? (i.e., exists on the spectrum of resources and interventions)Before we get into the details, what do you want adoptive families to hear right away if residential treatment is something they think they may need to consider?When we say residential treatment in this conversation, what does that mean?How is it different from other supports families may have already tried, like therapy, out-patient programs, or in-home services?What kinds of needs is residential treatment for adopted kids designed to meet?In your experience, how can residential care be helpful for kids and families who are really struggling?What are some misunderstandings that make this option feel more frightening or confusing than it needs to be?This is where many parents feel stuck. What are some signs that a family may need to start thinking about a higher level of care?Who should be part of making this decision? How can adoptive parents make sure they're not making it in isolation?When a family finds it necessary to move forward to placement in residential care, how can they talk with their child about residential treatment in a way that keeps the relationship intact?What reactions should parents expect, and how can they respond in ways that don't escalate their child's fear or shame?How can families stay connected while their child is in care?What helps parents partner well with the treatment team?Coming home is an important goal for parents and their kids to work toward. But it's not a reset button that magically clears the cache. It is, however, another transition. And transitions can be hard on everyone.What can you help our listeners understand about the transition home from the child's perspective?How should we be talking with our kids before leaving the residential program?What are realistic expectations for those first few weeks?What supports should already be in place before a child comes home? (work with caseworker from treatment, get recommendations, referrals, etc.)What are some simple ways to rebuild a connection without overwhelming the child?When old behaviors resurface—and they often do—how should parents respond?What does progress actually look like in real life during this phase?This experience affects everyone in the home. How can parents support siblings who may have been impacted by what's happened?Parents are often exhausted by this point. What does realistic, doable support look like for caregivers themselves?If a parent listening today feels like they're nearing this decision, what's one step they can take to feel more grounded and prepared for the experience?Resources:Parenting Children with Challenging Behavior (Resource Page)Accessing Residential Treatment Care for AdopteesExploring Medication for Adopted ChildrenDoes Your Child Need Residential TreatmentGet Residential Treatment for Your ChildSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.
