Summary
Adoption should matter to every believer, because every believer is adopted. In this episode, Laura shares a bit about her family's journey to adopt two children from Bulgaria and why they were motivated by the beautiful picture it paints of the gospel. Even if you don't personally plan to adopt, this episode is for you too! All believers need to love orphans, supporting those on the front lines of this calling. We hope this episode plants seeds, waters seeds that God has already planted, and reminds you of the great love God displays for us through adoption!

| 0:00.0 | Motherhood is hard. One second, we think we're doing a good enough job and the next we feel |
| 0:09.8 | like the worst mom on the planet, which is why we need the refreshing truth of the gospel |
| 0:14.9 | to be repeated over and over, giving us hope in the everyday moments. So, mama, whether |
| 0:20.9 | you're sipping cold coffee or doing a sink full of dishes, we hope you'll find true, |
| 0:25.9 | encouragement and laughter here. This is the Risen Motherhood Podcast. Thanks for joining us. |
| 0:37.2 | Well, welcome back to another episode of Risen Motherhood. I'm Emily Jensen here with my sister-in-law, |
| 0:42.7 | Laura Whiffler. Hello, hello. And before we get started today, we sometimes try to let you guys know |
| 0:49.6 | about what we have going on other than the podcast. And one thing we have is a Facebook page. |
| 0:55.6 | And on the Facebook page, we try to post pretty much every day, I think, right, Laura? We post |
| 1:01.4 | articles. And what's nice is Laura like pulls out some good text from the articles. So even if you |
| 1:07.9 | don't have a ton of time, you can still get a really good negative encouragement. We definitely |
| 1:13.1 | push out our shows there. There's a ton of interaction of just, you know, questions or comments or |
| 1:18.7 | responses to things. And so we would love to have a conversation with you guys over there. So |
| 1:24.7 | Facebook is something you use frequently. Consider heading over and finding us on Risen Motherhood |
| 1:29.9 | and like our page. There's a little button there. And that is kind of what helps those stories |
| 1:36.0 | show up in your news feed. And quick side note, if you like or comment, it really helps. The content |
| 1:43.6 | continue to show up. It gets buried. I feel like you don't. Yeah. |
| 1:48.0 | Because we have a crazy algorithm that if you don't like things, then it's not going to show up |
| 1:52.7 | in your news feed or in other people's news feed. And that's something else we've noticed is just |
| 1:56.8 | we are so thankful for all of you guys who are interacting because it's a huge blessing. And we're |
| 2:01.4 | like, yay, someone hears us. But to sometimes some people are liking the stuff that we put out. |
| 2:07.0 | They were commenting on things that we put out, but you don't actually like our page. And so that's |
