Homeschooling goes far beyond choosing curriculum and planning field trips. It is equally as important to establish a firm grasp on why we are homeschooling and what our homeschool philosophy is. I so enjoyed this conversation with Angela where we had a chance to get honest about the ups and downs of our homeschooling journeys. We chatted about important mindset shifts we have had to embrace along the way and old paradigms we are moving away from. Are you considering homeschooling but you are fearful? Are you in the thick of it and need some encouragement to keep going? Join us for this inspiring conversation!

"But you really get to see just how much you value something and what's important to you when you kind of have to strip away all the distractions." "As I kinda grew into the preteen and teen years, that really became a pretty deep thread in my life was this idea that I needed to as certain things to make people happy and to make people like me." "I really kind of internalized this belief that to do something important in my life I would have to do something more than being just a mom." "Everyone was aware that something was going on except for me." "It was a lot of time for me to just kind of lean into my faith and really ask myself what I really believe about God's goodness and how He's gonna show up for me in this time." "Daddy, this hurts. This is hard." "If we can just sort of separate from those for me, that has been when I hear His voice the most clearly." "I feel like if there's one thing my story shouts without me having to say it, it's that God is in those details, and He's such a God of details."

This week we're continuing our series, Going Against the Grain, with a very special guest, Angela Braniff. Angela is the founder of the popular YouTube channel This Gathered Nest. She is also an adoption advocate, home school mom, content creator and podcast host. Today, Jessica and Angela have an amazing conversation about how the Braniff family came to be, and why they up and bought a farm in North Carolina! Show Links

Adam and I were lucky enough to be able to speak with CR Braniff. CR is the husband to author Angela Braniff who authored the book "Love without borders" which describes how a deep sense of "purpose" and faith has lead this couple to adopt 6 kids (5 at the time the book was released) to join their already growing family of 4. It was inspiring to hear how CR described daily life with 8 kids. His views on faith, and joy through living life with a deeper purpose, was refreshing and felt very contradictory to what seems to be a society currently obsessed with instant gratification and dopamine rushes. CR's love for his kids, and wife really shine through in this discussion. It is quickly evident how what others may view as a "Herculean" task of trying to raise a large family from diverse backgrounds, with diverse needs, all while sustaining and expanding a farm and nurturing a marriage, is the only way this man can picture living a life of fulfillment. His joy and enthusiasm in his chosen path, is endearing. By the end of the conversation it becomes clear that CR's "chosen" path, doesn't feel to CR as though it was chosen BY him, so much as it was chosen FOR him in the form of a spiritual calling. During the entire conversation I couldn't help but notice how this man described how keeping his focus on his faith, family, and especially his wife, made what seems like a heavy workload feel routine to him. Every comment he makes, and every story he tells, reflects the incredible perspective that CR has gained through living his life for a bigger purpose than himself.

This week on Real Talk with Rachael, we’re talking with Angela Braniff about her new book, “Love Without Borders: How Bold Faith Opens the Door to Embracing the Unexpected”. Angela Braniff is the founder of the popular YouTube channel, This Gathered Nest. She is an adoption advocate, home school mom, content creator, podcast host, and adventure seeker. Angela is married to her high-school sweetheart and together they have a full house: Kennedy (12) - their biological daughter, Shelby (10) - their 2nd biological daughter, Rosie (7) - adopted from China, Noah (7) - adopted from Congo, Jonah (5) - adopted domestically, and finally, Ivy + Amelia (18-month old twins) - adopted as embryos—Angela gave birth to them! Adding to their family of seven kids, after the book was finished, Angela and CR welcomed their eighth child, Benjamin, through adoption. Angela lives in North Carolina and has been featured in People, Today, UPTV, BuzzFeed, etc. We're Talking About: You can’t always fill fulfilled by reaching the standard “American Dream”. Trusting in God’s timing is always the best way. Angela felt completely changed after leaving Africa and knew she wanted to adopt more children. God exposed a stumbling block of Angela’s, trusting him with finances. God says come through this open door and He will make a way. God was able to make a family out of broken pieces. God can take our questions and our anger.

Love without Borders with Angela Braniff I’m so excited to share my interview with Angela Braniff, author of the new book Love without Borders. There are those people who know from an early age that they will grow up and adopt children. As wonderful as that is, adoption wasn’t on my radar until I was... [Continue Reading] The post Walk it Out #118: Love without Borders with Angela Braniff appeared first on Tricia Goyer.

We’ve all faced that moment: feeling called to something, have a desire for something, and thinking “nah, that can’t be for me it’s too _____.” We’ve been there. The crazy difficult or different calling. “Why would God choose me to do that?” “What would people think?” Today, Angela Braniff joins us to chat through her calling, how it’s crazy different, unique and beautiful all at the same time and how her bold “yes” changed everything. It’s easy to opt out, say “ehh” or pass it off to someone else. But, what could happen, what would you learn, how much goodness would you see if you said “yes?” Angela Braniff is the founder of the popular YouTube channel, This Gathered Nest.  She is an adoption advocate, home school mom, content creator, podcast host, and adventure seeker. Angela is married to her high-school sweetheart and together they have a full house:  Kennedy (12) - their biological daughter, Shelby (10) - their 2nd biological daughter, Rosie (7) - adopted from China, Noah (7) - adopted from Congo, Jonah (5) - adopted domestically, and finally, Ivy + Amelia (18-month old twins) - adopted as embryos—Angela gave birth to them!

I recently read a book called Love Without Borders about a woman with eight children: 2 biological, 4 adopted (both domestic and international), and twins which she adopted as embryos and gave birth to herself! She runs the popular YouTube channel This Gathered Nest, hosts a podcast, homeschools, and is an avid adoption advocate. None of this was in her life “plan,” but it was in God’s plan, and she let Him lead the way. I needed to ask her how she has time to brush her teeth, much less care for and homeschool 8 kids while writing a book and running a successful business from home. This week’s podcast is with Angela Braniff, who shares the beautiful, painful, messy, lovely and real story of letting go and embracing the unexpected.

Whether or not we see Him, whether or not we feel Him, God is always near, walking beside us no matter where we go. YouTuber and mother of eight Angela Braniff shares how she checked all the boxes to gain a “perfect” life, until she realized Jesus’ life was about far more than giving her what the world considered “perfect.” By warily trusting God’s plan, and learning that she didn’t have to please others, Angela stepped out in faith and discovered a life more fulfilling than she’d ever imagined for herself. Jennifer Greenberg was a victim of abuse for twenty-one years, and in her darkest moments, she cried out to God, wanting to know if He was there. When she clearly heard God say that He would never forsake her, it all changed for Jennifer. She learned to trust God with her anger, moving forward into freedom and healing.  Links, Products and Resources Mentioned: Sarah Young Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling books Jesus Calling devotionalJesus Calling Prayer Call Jesus Calling® for Graduates    Angela Braniff, founder of the popular YouTube channel This Gathered Nest Love Without Borders book   Jennifer Greenberg BibleGateway.com (Hebrews 13:5) Not Forsaken book PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255   HGTV Show Restored by the Fords (Leanne & Steve Ford) Work in Progress book   Interview Quotes: “I just thought that if I did all the right things, then my life would turn out how everyone told me, and it would be happy and fulfilled and everything would be great.” - Angela Braniff “I cried out to God and said, ‘I need you to give me Your eyes.

One of God’s greatest gifts is the healing we can find in forgiveness, whether we’re learning to to love and accept others or even ourselves. April 19, 2020 marked the 25th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing, when Bud Welch’s 23-year-old daughter Julie was tragically killed in the blast. Bud shares how he turned his grief into compassion for Bill McVeigh, father of the bomber Timothy McVeigh. Bud is joined by Jeanne Bishop, who recounts how these two fathers shared losses and became the unlikeliest of friends in her new book Grace from the Rubble. After years of struggling to find her way as a young adult, Christine Carter found herself trying to fill the hole in her heart with food. After a heartbreaking encounter with a family member, Christine embarked on a journey to learn how to change from the inside out. Along the way, Christine learned God loved her just as she was, she began to love herself too—and now she’s striving to help others learn to love themselves and cultivate a healthier mindset and lifestyle in her brand-new book Weight-Loss Hero.

When your children die, you bury them in your heart. It’s forever. It never goes away.” - Bud Welch  “To have that redemption come from such tragedy is just a way of doing what God calls us all to do, which is to forgive others as we've been forgiven.” - Jeanne Bishop “I thought I had a weight problem, and I didn't know the weight I was carrying was a symptom of what was lurking beneath the surface.” - Christine Carter “I think that if you've ever overcome something in your life, I feel that part of what God calls us to do is to help someone else, even if it's just one person, help somebody else do the same.” - Christine Carter “I think a lot of our habits that we have and a lot of our mindsets are really what's holding us hostage.” - Christine Carter “We put ourselves last—and certainly there's something to be said about having a servant's heart—but you can never pour from an empty cup.” - Christine Carter “It's easy to fall into that temptation of picking the things that satisfy in the moment. But those things rarely satisfy for a lifetime.
