Summary

Debra Moerke’s story is one that is almost hard to process. It’s a story of immense tragedy and hardship, but also one of incredible grace and forgiveness. Being a foster parent couldn’t have seemed easy, but when Debra agreed to take in a group of siblings from an abusive home, she could never have foreseen the amount of pain that she was about to step into. But out of that pain, God taught Debra an incredible lesson in forgiveness, and now in her book Murder, Motherhood, and Miraculous Grace, Debra shares that lesson. She sits down with Davey to talk about this story and what God has taught her through it all. Visit Debra's Website Buy Debra's Book Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

1:40.3	craft or every little picture or LEGO creation that they make. I know that those little things that I am all there for that I'm not just giving them the side eye or like brushing them off quickly but like really rejoicing and just being overjoyed with what they've done.
