Hey, this is Meredith. This week we're sharing one of the very first episodes of the unfolding.

Mark Schultz has shared about his story of adoption, often in his music. In this interview,

he talks about how adopting his daughter changed the way he thought about a father's love.

Prepare to smile, maybe laugh a little, and feel your heart warmed as you listen to this episode

from the archives. This huge thing went off in my head and I went, oh my gosh, this is me,

my whole life going, if I'm special and if I'm quarterback and if I sing and people give me

standing ovations, I will be special enough

that people will pay attention to me.

God's story has been unfolding.

Since the beginning of time.

He invites you to be a part of it.

One part of Mark's personal story is adoption. He grew up knowing he was adopted and he's

shared that story in songs and in concerts, but it wasn't until Mark was holding his own adopted

daughter that he had a revelation about a father's love. He began to understand

God's love in a way that changed his life. When did you realize you were adopted? Gosh, I was probably

in the third grade because I was going through my baby book and there was stuff in my baby book that

my sister didn't have. She's not adopted. I've got a brother who's not adopted five years older than me,

a sister who's not adopted a year younger than me, and I'm in the middle.

And so I was like, hey, mom, I see a discrepancy here.
