In this conversation with the lovely Kim Patton, we speak about her journey through infertility and trusting God to guide her towards adoption. Adoption after infertility isn't talked about as much as it should be -- and that's why I think this is an important conversation. While many turn to IVF, adoption after infertility is a beautiful option as well and I wish more people would consider it. Now mom to Eden, Kim and her husband are expecting a second baby they will be adopting from Edens birth mom. We talk about the incredible love Kim has found for Edens birth mom and how it’s showed her how much God loves us. We also talk about her experience leaving a church and a denomination after a lifetime...her family’s path … [Read more...]

It doesn't bring him back. It doesn't ease the pain of his family, or the nation, but earthly justice does matter. Just to be clear, the definition of justice is simply that someone gets what … [Read more...]
Christina Crenshaw, Ph.D.: Faith, Culture and Getting ‘Cancelled’ at Baylor
Christina Crenshaw, Ph.D. is a professor, researcher, writer, and human trafficking fighter. She's also a mom of two and someone who recently experienced her own form of "cancel culture" when a group of students at Baylor targeted a tweet she shared, labeling her "transphobic."

As she notes here, the student paper & Baylor had to apologize for her after they wrote an editorial about her tweet. Additionally, she had been on an LGBTQ "safe list" of professors prior to this -- and had zero other actions or … [Read more...]
