There are points in life where we are merely existing - planted but not flourishing. Listen in as we chat with friends who have done the hard work, embraced the season they are in and are flourishing in purpose and calling. Real people in the middle of major life transitions, folks navigating the unknowns of leadership and ministry, mental health, infertility, raising children on the spectrum and other life topics that affect us all. Digging in to one life moment at a time to flourish in our God-given purpose.
What comes to mind when you talk about your "calling"? Is it something you have already identified or something you are still discovering?
Beth and Corey Adkins have always made God's calling their mission. Their podcast formerly called "The Millenial Mission" reached for the millenial generation, challenging them and calling them up to live in the fullness of God's calling. Recently rebranded as "A Force to be Reckoned With" it's found them venturing into areas of ministry they'd said they would never be involved.
There are close to 400,000 children in the foster care system in the United States of America. It's a need that once you've come face to face with it, you can't deny the daunting need.
The Adkins felt the tug and answered by opening their home to families who are in a really difficult place. Showering the little ones who are placed in their care with the love of Jesus by providing a safe, loving place for them.
You'll be inspired and challenged as you listen!
