Adoption is often viewed as a happy ending, and sometimes it is! But for Thenedra, her experiences as a child in the foster care system and later as a trans-racial adoptee were — and still are — much more complicated than that. This is an episode about what can happen when trans-racial foster and adoptive parents are not just unprepared to raise traumatized children, but also unprepared to raise Black children in a predominantly white society.

June 24, 2026 | At the Scent of Water: Cut Down but not Uprooted | Pastor Aaron Crabb

Today we deliever a prophetic update centered on Daniel 2: a season of change where chains and strongholds are broken through worship and prayer. He shares a recent trip to Chicago with dreams revealing a transfer of influence, a prophetic confrontation with the "Queen of Heaven" stronghold, and the removal of leaders—highlighting a predicted shift in the UK.  

Faith can feel intimidating when we think it requires certainty, confidence, or having it all figured out.But Jesus points to something much smaller—a mustard seed. A reminder that faith isn't about how much we have, but where we place it.Sometimes we struggle to believe that change is possible, that God can work in our circumstances, or that He can do something meaningful in us. Yet Jesus sees more in us than we often see in ourselves. He specializes in taking small beginnings and doing what seems impossible.Because sometimes all it takes is a mustard seed of faith to trust that God is still at work.

The only thing that will save the world is faith in the U.S. government. Ouch.Next month we dig into Naomi Novik's Uprooted. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dr. Srianee Dias arrived in the United States from her native country of Sri Lanka in the 1970's. She was part of a program of doctors who were recruited from S. Asia during a time when there weren't enough medical students graduating from the U.S. medical schools. Traveling with her two very young daughters and arriving in NYC was a big tremendous life change for her. Uprooted from her loving family at home to her tiny apartment in Brooklyn, she was ready to embrace this opportunity and chose to pursue the area of pathology. As a pathologist she began her residency in southern CT and later moved north for a larger role. Learning English under the British model in Sri Lanka, she often critiqued the grammar of her colleagues only to quickly understand that not all “English” was the same. Her diligent work ethic, coupled with her warm personality, made her a highly desirable practitioner and deeply respected by fellow doctors and staff. She worked with unwavering focus and persistence, and was licensed in thirteen states as a pathologist traveling extensively for her work. She speaks candidly about the COVID pandemic and how as a retired pathologist she conformed to protocols in place. Srianee especially loved when her mother would visit and help with caring for her daughters. These occasional visits were supportive and affirming to her and keeping traditional Sri Lankan customs alive was a priority. She loved gathering with her community of friends and medical colleagues and was eager to share authentic Sri Lankan food and recipes with her non-Sri Lankan friends. After over 4 decades living and working in the U.S., she recently returned to Sri Lanka to live near her siblings and cousins but she describes both places as “home”, embracing the fact that it doesn't have to be just one place. As a curious and truly global-minded person, Srianee sees opportunity in travel and exploration and visits her daughters, grandchildren and friends as often as possible. Her love for her country is beautifully expressed as she shares the term, “Ayubowan”, a greeting that translates to “wishing you long life and an aura of happiness and grace”. This quote exemplifies how you feel when you meet and listen to Srianee's story.

What does it take to say yes to Jesus when it means leaving comfort behind? In this first episode of Season 3, Tim Shuck is joined by Cheryl Fletcher and Matt Weston to reflect on Luke 5:1–11 and the moment Jesus called the first disciples to leave everything and follow Him. Together, they share personal stories of unexpected turning points, difficult seasons, and the courage it takes to trust God one step at a time. This conversation sets the tone for Season 3 by helping us see that courage doesn't always feel bold in the moment, but it often leads to deeper roots in Jesus. Episode Highlights Why courage often begins with discomfort The moment Peter left everything to follow Jesus—and what that means for us today What happens when you say yes to God and things don't turn out the way you expected How God often reveals only the next step, not the whole plan The difference between reckless faith and courageous obedience How seasons of loss and uncertainty can deepen intimacy with Jesus Why the courageous choice is often the one that stretches you most Featured Guests Cheryl Fletcher (Novo Board Member & Pastor-in-Residence at APU) Cheryl shares powerful reflections from decades of ministry, including the courage it took to leave a stable church role and step into the unknown—just weeks before the world shut down in 2020. Her story is a reminder that obedience isn't measured by outcomes, but by intimacy with Jesus. Matt Weston (Novo's Chief Operating Officer) Matt talks honestly about leaving a secure ministry role to join Novo and the difficult season that followed when plans didn't unfold the way he expected. His story highlights how God often uses disruption to form our identity more deeply.

What happens when a six-month holiday turns into a 14-year life chapter? You pack a bag for a gap year in the snow and accidentally stumble into a whole new world - a career, a husband, a mortgage, and three children. On paper, it’s the fairytale expat dream. But eventually, the adventure stops feeling like freedom and starts feeling like distance. Georgia Louise was living that dream as a ski patroller in Canada. However, when the global pandemic hit, her perception of being "a flight away" changed to feeling "a world away". That was the moment of the pivot: The realisation that to move forward, she had to go back to where she started - but as a completely different person. In this episode of Pivot Club, Sarah Davidson talks to Georgia about the decision to pack up over a decade of life into seven suitcases to chase a dream she’d been ignoring for years: To become a nurse. Georgia opens up about the "messy middle" of relocating a family of five to regional New South Wales with no credit rating, no local employment history and nothing but a heartfelt letter to convince a landlord to take a chance on them. We unpack the reality of dismantling a comfortable life to start from scratch, the humility of sitting in a university lecture hall with 18-year-olds as a mature-age student and how Georgia uses her thriving social media platform to fund her studies. Join us for a conversation about the logistics of moving a family across the globe when the pull of home becomes too loud to ignore. Get ready to be inspired by a woman who is proving that it is never too late to go back to school. THE END BITS: Want more from Sarah Davidson? Check out her podcast Seize The Yay.

In Sudan, the conflict between the national army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has plunged the country into widespread bloodshed and humanitarian catastrophe. The devastating civil war began in April 2023 and is expanding beyond the western Darfur region into central Kordofan, taking its toll on civilians and particularly the most vulnerable, including children.Eva Hinds, Spokesperson for the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) in Sudan, describes how the agency is supporting boys and girls amid the brutal conflict and ongoing cuts to aid budgets.She spoke to UN News's Nathalie Minard in Geneva.

King Saul's fall from grace becomes relevant to our lives today in that it reveals the danger of partial obedience. The tragedy isn't just that Saul disobeyed—it's that he made value judgments independent of God's word.Support the show

Unbelief can quietly keep us stuck, not because we deny God, but because we stop trusting Him with what feels impossible to change.In this final message of the Uprooted series, Pastor Aaron Pennington teaches from Mark 9 and Romans 12, showing how faith and doubt can exist at the same time, and how obedience becomes the evidence that God is faithful even when circumstances do not make sense.This sermon speaks directly to those wrestling with doubt, unanswered prayers, broken relationships, addiction, fear, and the feeling that nothing will ever change. Pastor Aaron reminds us that transformation is possible, unbelief does not disqualify us, and we are under no obligation to remain the same person we were yesterday.If you are struggling to believe, wondering why God has said no, or trying to take a next step of faith, this message is for you.

In this powerful and honest message, Pastor Aaron Pennington, Lead Pastor of Trace Church in Colorado Springs, addresses one of the most pervasive and destructive struggles facing Christians today. Pornography and sexual sin are not just private battles. They are poisons that weaken the soul, damage relationships, and pull us away from the transformed life Jesus offers.As part of the Uprooted sermon series, Pastor Aaron calls us to stop managing sin and start uprooting it. With truth, grace, Scripture, and practical wisdom, this sermon confronts shame, exposes lies, and points toward real freedom found in Christ.This message is for anyone who feels stuck in cycles of temptation, guilt, secrecy, or spiritual numbness. Whether you are struggling personally or seeking clarity on how faith speaks into modern challenges, this teaching offers hope, conviction, and a clear path forward.Key themes in this sermon:• Why pornography promises pleasure but produces slavery• The spiritual and neurological impact of sexual sin• Why silence allows strongholds to grow• How Jesus offers freedom, healing, and renewal• What it means to uproot sin instead of excusing itAt Trace Church, we believe in truth and grace together. No condemnation, but no compromise. Freedom is possible, and transformation is available through Jesus.Join us in Colorado Springs or watch online as we continue the Uprooted series and ask the honest question:What needs to be uprooted from your life so you can live fully free in Christ?Service Times at Trace Church:8:15a | 10:00a | 11:45a | 5:00p4330 Mark Dabling Blvd, Colorado Springs, COSubscribe for more sermons, sermon clips, and teaching from Pastor Aaron Pennington and Trace Church.

In 2023, award-winning investigative journalist Brandi Kellam published "Uprooted,” a collaboration between ProPublica and the Virginia Center for Investigative Journalism at WHRO. The series revealed how American universities expanded campuses while systematically displacing Black and marginalized communities. It exposed historic injustices as well as the present-day consequences of university-led displacement. The investigation helped spur the creation of a Virginia legislative commission now exploring potential redress. It also sparked the creation of a local Newport News task force to examine the role Christopher Newport University played in displacing dismantling a historic Black community over the last 60 years. Kellam updates us on the state and local investigations and what steps will be taken to right a wrong.

What happens when comfortable faith turns into complacency?In Complacency and Excuses, Pastor Aaron Pennington continues the Uprooted sermon series with a powerful call to responsibility, surrender, and real transformation.Using a gripping historical illustration and Scripture from John 10, Matthew 5, Galatians 5, Luke 9, and Ephesians 3, this message confronts the excuses that quietly keep us stuck. Pastor Aaron challenges us to stop blaming circumstances, stop settling for the status quo, and allow God to uproot anything that prevents us from living fully surrendered lives.This sermon speaks directly to:Spiritual complacencyMaking excuses instead of taking responsibilityStanding firm in faith against cultural pressureDaily surrender and obedienceLetting go of shame and receiving graceWalking by the Spirit instead of the fleshIf you're asking what needs to change in your life in 2026, this message will challenge, encourage, and invite you into deeper faith.

Change is something everyone wants, but few know how to experience in a lasting way. In this message, Dr. Trent Langhofer kicks off the Uprooted sermon series by exposing one of the most common but hidden obstacles to spiritual growth: performance based acceptance.Drawing from decades of counseling experience and Scripture, Dr. Trent teaches that real transformation does not come from trying harder or doing more, but from addressing what lies beneath the surface. Using the life and conversion of the Apostle Paul, he shows how striving, shame, and spiritual complacency often grow from the belief that we must earn God's approval through behavior, knowledge, or achievement.This message reveals how God brings change through four catalysts: learning, experience, pain, and love. Through Paul's encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, we see how God uproots a life built on performance and replaces it with grace, humility, and true freedom.If you are carrying shame, exhausted from striving, or quietly settled into being spiritually okay, this teaching will challenge and encourage you. The gospel reminds us that our standing with God is not based on what we do, but on what Christ has already done for us.This sermon invites us to begin a new year by laying down what is not working and allowing God to uproot whatever keeps us from becoming who He designed us to be.

Diff'rent Strokes is a classic sitcom that aired on NBC from 1978 to 1986. The show stars Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges as Arnold and Willis Jackson, two young brothers from Harlem who are taken in by wealthy businessman Philip Drummond (Conrad Bain) after the death of their mother. Uprooted from their old life and dropped into a Park Avenue penthouse. While often remembered for catchphrases and very special episodes, the show was more ambitious than that, frequently tackling issues such as racism and class disparity. Critics were mixed, but audiences made it a massive hit, turning Gary Coleman into one of the biggest child stars of the era and keeping the show alive through network moves and cast changes. Over time, it's become a defining artifact of late-'70s and '80s television: equal parts comfort and cultural time capsule. But can Diff'rent Strokes catch the eyes of the S1E1 boys with just the first episode?

Christmas Eve is a time filled with beauty, tradition, and reflection, but it can also be a season where pain, loss, and unanswered questions feel heavier than ever. In this powerful Christmas Eve message, Pastor Aaron Pennington invites us to slow down and ask the question at the heart of the Christmas story: What Child Is This?As part of our Songs of Christmas series, this sermon explores the story and meaning behind the beloved carol What Child Is This? Pastor Aaron walks through the origins of the song, the pain that shaped it, and how its message still speaks hope into our lives today. This message reminds us that Jesus did not arrive in comfort and perfection, but stepped into a messy, broken world to bring light, life, and healing.Whether Christmas is joyful or heavy for you, this message is an invitation to experience Jesus not as a tradition, but as the Savior who meets us in our cold and dark moments. Through Scripture, personal story, and the truth of the Gospel, Pastor Aaron shares how Jesus is God with us, Emmanuel, and how His life, death, and resurrection offer forgiveness, restoration, and new life for anyone who believes.If you are new to church, returning after a long time, or simply searching for hope this Christmas season, we are honored you are here. Trace Church exists to help people encounter Jesus and discover the abundant life He offers.Thank you for celebrating Christmas Eve with us.If this message encouraged you, consider subscribing to our channel and sharing it with someone who may need hope this Christmas.We would also love to invite you to join us in person or online as we continue into the new year. We will be back in person on January 4 as we begin a new teaching series called Uprooted, focused on removing what holds us back from the life Jesus came to give.

Across Armenia today, thousands of older adults, many of them refugees from Artsakh, are facing the most challenging chapter of their lives. Uprooted from their homes, separated from familiar communities, and navigating the realities of aging under extraordinary stress, they are carrying both personal loss and the collective trauma of displacement. Yet within this struggle lies a powerful story of resilience, dignity, and the urgent need for compassionate support.   Learn more about this population and the efforts being taken to help in any way possible in our interview with Paros Executive Director, Peter Abajian. 

Children are especially vulnerable to displacement linked to climate change. Each year, millions of young people are displaced by weather-related disasters, as schools and other services break down and adults send children away to find safety. Forced from their homes, children often face new challenges, including being unable to access education or medical care, and even heightened risk of violence and other dangers. Despite the unique challenges that children face in displacement, there are relatively few international laws or systems particularly designed to assist those forced to move because of environmental factors. We speak with UNICEF's Laura Healy about this reality and the opportunities to better protect children in a warming world.

Eels play an important ecological role in many rivers and streams, but they're so eel-usive that even eel scientists have been challenged to observe them mating in the wild. Ellen Ruppel Shell is author of the 2024 book Slippery Beast: A True Crime Natural History, with Eels, and she sheds light on the eel's murky ecology and path through the seafood industry.   And the relentless heating of the Earth is prompting people to move after climate-related catastrophes and amid more gradual changes. Journalist Abrahm Lustgarten is the author of On the Move: The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America, about the northward migration he anticipates as Americans seek to escape punishing heat, fire, and drought.   Also stargazing has profoundly shaped who we are as human beings, and gave rise to science, religion, and origin stories from diverse traditions. Roberto Trotta, the author of the new book Starborn: How the Stars Made Us (And Who We Would Be Without Them) joins us to discuss how studying the night sky shaped science and why satellites now threaten our connection to the stars.
