Happy Wednesday, friends!
In this episode of the Drive Thru Moms Podcast with Lynn Nitcher, we’re diving into one of my favorite family traditions—packing Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. What started as a small way to get my preschool and elementary kids involved in giving has now become a decades-long tradition of blessing children around the world with simple gifts and the hope of Jesus. 💌🌍
Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
✅ Creative Operation Christmas Child shoebox ideas that really work
✅ How to pack OCC shoeboxes with kids and make it a fun family activity
✅ Tips for shopping year-round on a budget (Dollar Tree, clearance finds & more!)
✅ How to host a shoebox packing party in your home, neighborhood, or church
✅ Why this tradition matters, not just at Christmas, but for building faith in our families
If you’ve ever wondered how to involve your kids in giving, grow their compassion, and share the love of Christ in a hands-on way, this episode is for you. Every shoebox packed is more than a gift—it’s an opportunity to plant seeds of faith and joy across the globe. 🌟

In this heartfelt episode of the Drive Thru Moms Podcast, host Lynn Nitcher sits down with special guest Amanda Guillot for an honest and deeply meaningful conversation about navigating motherhood after losing a parent to suicide.
As part of Suicide Awareness Week, Lynn and Amanda gently walk through Amanda’s story—how losing her mom shaped her as a daughter, a woman of faith, and now, as a mom raising three children of her own. Together, they explore how grief doesn’t have to define you, how God brings healing through His presence and people, and the power of staying rooted in hope through seasons of sorrow.
We also talk practically about:
- Parenting through grief and learning to be honest with your kids
- How Amanda has intentionally built a home filled with grace, safety, and open conversations
- The impact of losing a parent on milestone moments
- Why godly mentors and community matter so deeply
- What the Bible says about comfort, loss, and hope
With Scripture, statistics, and real-life perspective, this episode is both a sacred space for moms who have experienced loss and an important listen for any mom wanting to lead with compassion, intention, and faith—especially during the teenage years.
📖 Scriptures shared: Psalm 34:18, Psalm 46:1-3, 1 Peter 1:3
Whether you’ve walked through grief yourself or are walking with someone else who has, this conversation is filled with encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that in Christ, we are never without hope.

Are you already feeling overwhelmed—and school hasn’t even started yet? In this episode of Drive Thru Moms, we talk about the pressure-packed pace of motherhood and how being overscheduled, overstimulated, and stretched thin is robbing us of peace.
Inspired by the simple but powerful Downton Abbey quote, “Much cattle, much care,” we unpack how too many commitments can quietly pull us away from God's best for our family.
Let’s talk about:
- What Scripture says about being distracted and doing too much
- Why less might actually mean more peace this school year
- Three practical ways to reset your calendar and your soul
Your kids don’t need a mom who does it all—they need a mom who’s available, obedient, and at peace.
🎧 Tune in and take a deep breath—this one’s for every mom who’s tired of managing a herd she was never meant to carry.

As moms, we may not wear crowns, but we carry influence that echoes for generations. In this episode, we look at how the Bible speaks about kings—some who led their people into righteousness, and others whose disobedience led entire nations into sin. What can we learn from their leadership about our role as mothers?
Scripture reminds us that “the people followed their king into sin” (see 1 Kings, 2 Chronicles), showing the ripple effect of a leader’s choices. As moms, our spiritual leadership—whether quiet or visible—shapes the atmosphere of our homes and the hearts of our children.
We'll dive into:
- What kind of "kingdom" are we building?
- The legacy we’re leaving through everyday decisions.
- How our obedience or disobedience to God influences those entrusted to us.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your choices really matter—this episode is for you. Let’s talk about the power of our yes to God, and how leading with love, humility, and faith can change the course of our families for generations.

In this heartfelt episode of the Drive Thru Moms Podcast, I’m joined by two very special guests—my daughter, Lacey Dean, and our dear family friend, Jessica Gibson—for a real and honest conversation about the power of a woman’s words.
Together, we explore how what we say—and how we say it—can shape the emotional and spiritual tone of our homes, especially in our marriages and motherhood. From daily frustrations to defining moments, our speech has the potential to either build up or tear down the people we love most.
We dig into Scripture to discover what the Bible teaches about the tongue, wisdom, and the influence God has entrusted to women. You’ll hear personal stories, lessons learned, and encouragement to use your voice in a way that reflects Christ and brings life to your family.
If you’ve ever struggled with what to say—or regretted what you already said—this conversation is for you.

As we celebrate freedom this Fourth of July, this episode of the Summer of Scripture series invites us to pause and reflect on where our true independence begins—not in a nation, but in a surrendered heart.
Pulled from a devotional in my book, Faithful Before, Faithful Again, we’ll talk about what it really looks like to be faithful in our priorities and how putting God first gives meaning to all the other freedoms we enjoy. Whether you're at a backyard BBQ or watching fireworks, this is a reminder that the most powerful allegiance we can have is to the One who sets us truly free.

It’s easy to let our thoughts race ahead—to next week, next month, or even next year. But in today’s Summer of Scripture (SOS) episode, we’re taking a fresh look at what God teaches us through manna: that His provision is daily, and His presence is enough for right now.
You’ll be reminded that you don’t need to stockpile peace, answers, or strength for tomorrow—because God meets us today. Right where we are.
This is your permission to stop striving and start trusting, one day at a time.
👉 Listen now and lean into the peace of His daily provision.

Struggling with the anxious thoughts that comes from waiting? You’re not alone, mama.
In this episode of our Summer of Scripture series (SOS), on the Drive Thru Moms podcast, we dive into the story of Caleb—who waited years to see God’s promise fulfilled and how he lived in the waiting.
For moms navigating seasons of uncertainty, unanswered prayers, or the overwhelm of daily life, this episode brings fresh spiritual encouragement or God's faithfulness to do what he promises.
We’ll explore what waiting on God looks like in the midst of motherhood, how to hold onto hope when fear creeps in, and how faith can anchor us—even when the outcome feels far off. This devotional-style episode is perfect for busy moms needing a reminder that God sees, God cares, and God always comes through.
Whether you're in a season of parenting challenges, emotional exhaustion, or faith-filled waiting, this is for you.
Listen in for hope, truth, and a deep breath for your soul.

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
Have you ever tried to remember something your read? In school we memorized for tests, for recall purposes. But as a Christ follower, recalling Scripture we’ve read can make all the difference. Scripture memorization is a discipline that makes such a difference in the life a believer. God’s word gives life and is the playbook for the believer. Hiding God’s word in our hearts helps us as we encounter whatever life throws our way.
But how & what does that practically look like?
Today’s guest is Natalie Abbott is the co-founder and chief content officer of Dwell Differently. She’s the co-author of the Dwell on These Things Bible study and Dwell Differently: Overcome Negative Thinking with the Simple Practice of Memorizing God’s Truth. Natalie loves reading fiction, drinking hot tea, going on dates, and hanging out with her five growing kids. Natalie’s husband Jason is the pastor of Central Church in Jefferson City, Missouri where they currently reside. Natalie you were a joy of a guest!!

If you’re a mom, you’ve walked through a transition. Maybe as a first-time mom, a mom of multiple kiddos, or changes in your time away from home, having a child changes everything about what we do, how we do it and what our daily life looks like. Our perspective changes and even our goals and priorities.
But there is also something about the transition from the workplace to being home full time that hits our mind, heart and soul in an altogether different way. Maybe it's the new normal, lack of business community or just a combination of all the new at once.
Today’s guest is a new mom, former golf instructor, army wife and native Texan and best of all, she is my neighbor! Please welcome Kate Whiddon into your day, as she shares strategies, help with navigating the ‘new’ in ‘new mom’ and hope in the days that can be long. God’s hand weaves a story that seems just for you, but it’s in the sharing we find connection and an understanding that we are not alone.

Welcome back for Part 2 of the Drive Thru Moms Podcast!
Reading your Bible and having a quiet time seems like a no brainer for a believer. Setting aside time with the Lord is even very doable, even as busy moms. But sometimes, it can be hard to decide where to start, how to go about studying or even what to do after we read a passage?
This week on the podcast, we have a friend that loves to share what God is showing her in scripture and the methods she uses to get the most out of her time in his presence. Come along for an inspirational & powerful word from Amy Hale, wife, mom and ‘Gigi’ and ‘accidental Instagram influencer’ as she shares her passion for God’s word.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
They say it’s lonely at the top. Leadership is a life filled with leading others, constant recruiting, looking at characteristics in others and growing them in their vocation, ministry or volunteerism. But what does leadership look like? What qualities do you look for in someone? How do you draw them into your excitement for the opportunity you have?
Today’s guest is Rhonda Brittain, Minister to Preschool at Prestonwood Baptist Church, (and soon to be Dr. Rhonda Brittain, PhD in Leadership from Dallas Baptist University) has a deep love of ‘team’. Putting a team together with different gifts, abilities and characteristics is her jam!
What a great and wise leader from her 35 years in ministry form students, children's and women's ministry. Thanks Rhonda, for pouring out your love for Christ and the local church for us to hear!

Motherhood has changed in so many ways. Strollers all the new products used to care for babes bring on so many decisions! And let's face it, being a first-time mom is hard.

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
On today’s podcast we welcome Dr. Melissa Ewing, an adjunct professor at Dallas Baptist University. As a former children's minister we discuss loss we often deal with as adults and how we walk that road with the children in our lives. We also discuss different types of loss, stages of grief in loss and what we can experience or also see in our children. Dr. Ewing talks about how dealing with loss in children is different from adults, things we can do to help as adults in their life and when to reach out for professional help. As parents, our children and the ways we handle the weight of loss can have lasting affects on the kiddos we love, and how we approach this conversation from a Christian perspective is one full of hope.
Thanks and welcome Dr. Ewing!

On today’s podcast we welcome Dr. Melissa Ewing, an adjunct professor at Dallas Baptist University and former children’s minister to discuss anxiety in adults and children. We discuss how to recognize the signs of an anxiety disorder in ourselves, the children in our sphere of influence and what outward expressions to look for.
Dr. Ewing also talks about how anxiety and stress in children is different from adults, things we can do to help as adults in their life and when to reach out for professional help. As parents, our children and the ways we handle the weight of anxious seasons can have lasting affects on the kiddos we love, and how we approach this conversation from a Christian perspective is one full of hope.

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
Happy Wednesday! Can you describe what the Bible has to say about God's plan to be with us in a few sentences? Or what character trait of God has he shown you through your quiet times?
For me, it is that God is my provision. God has always been the answer to the nagging questions in my life. From the loudest 'what if's', to the quiet self doubt, Jehoveh Jireh, the Lord will provide, is my comfort and seen in scripture from start to finish.
Today I am sharing how God has used scripture, people around me and reflection to reveal his provision and love for me from the very beginning...past and present. He is FAITHFUL BEFORE, FAITHFUL AGAIN.
Everyone has their own story, but we are all meant to share what God has done in our lives.
There are more episodes in the weeks to come with Dr. Melissa Ewing on parenting from and to an anxious heart. Thanks for listening and sharing with moms in your world!
ENJOY!

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
Have you ever seen a need, then did nothing? Guilty! Well, this mom JUMPED into action when her son went to college and she witnessed a need far and wide in her community. Did you know food insecurity exists on college campuses? Or that some students come from families out of the US that do not have access to reliable WiFi? How hard that must be to send your student to America and have limited access to them.
Joining me today is the founder of On Campus Mom Foundation, Beth Dutschmann (or Mrs. D as the kids in her world call her) and her story is one of hard work, determination and a community that has benefited in ways that I can’t wait to see duplicated across the country.
You’ll love her pursuit and obedience of God's call on her to serve college students in her town! Thanks for checking it out!

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY WEEK! Raising kids to leave the nest is a daunting task to be sure and seems super far off. But as they say....it goes by FAST! Will they remember what we taught them? Do they know how to cook/do laundry? Where to go if they have car trouble? Will they hold to their faith in Christ they grew up in?
As a stay at home mom for 16 years, sending off our three children out into the world and seeing our family dynamic change, was an adjustment to say the least, but then that’s my perspective. For this episode, I wanted to get a young adults’ perspective on leaving the nest, so this week, I’m talking to my three children about their experiences leaving home, their mindset, growth and stepping into adulthood.
This might be my FAVORITE episode thus far!

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
When COVID hit, mom of five, writer and published author, Candace Echols, joined the world in looking at life through a new lens. For a lot of people, including children, that lens often included loneliness.
It was that time of separation, seclusion and season of instability that God dropped an idea to her heart through the simplest of joys, using her talents and gifts to share how God meets us in our seasons of difficulty.
Joy comes in different packages and this story is no different!

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
Have you ever had your child ask you a question you weren’t quite sure how to respond? But, wow were they right, it was a good question! After thinking about such a question from her daughter and a prompting from the Lord, Lauren moved forward to do something about it.
This episode is all about how God uses women of the Bible to teach lessons of his faithfulness, teaching our children about God’s word, all while helping them see how His stories can help us overcome fear. I can’t wait for you to hear Lauren’s story of how God worked through this process for healing in her own life for the benefit of kids across the world.
I’m so glad you’re here!

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
The founders of the Kate & Kal Collective, Kate Netten and Kalli Yoder, met while working together and quickly became self proclaimed ‘Insta Besties & Sisters in Christ’ ! The two started a successful business for one reason: to meet a common need in women they were discovering was similar to their own.
Sharing interests, passions, hobbies and season of life they both identified with, Kate and Kalli found themselves being led by God to start a business and online community. Their passion for encouraging women across the globe to daily dive into God’s word, while mothering their own littles, has grown infinitely and you won’t want to miss their story. God is doing an amazing work through the Kate & Kal Co.
Thanks ladies for sharing your heart with others so that they experience Jesus daily.

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
From classroom teacher, assistant principal to Senior Director of Operations with The 25 Project, God did a number on the heart of this week’s guest.
This week, Sarah shares her story of God’s faithfulness, calling her out of public education, to her work with a local non-profit with arms that reach across the world. Sharing physical resources with ‘hope and healing to the least of these’ through child sponsorships to children in countries outside the US, the ultimate goal with this non-profit is to share God’s love and bring life changing relationships to the kids and families they encounter.
Through sponsorships, local ministries and mission trips, The 25 Project is hard at work showing others the love of Jesus, meeting physical, emotional and spiritual needs or those identified in need in their areas of influence. Sarah’s story of answering God’s call is a beautiful one!

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
Choosing a physician can be overwhelming, especially one that will deliver your children, help you navigate healthcare as a woman and walk you through what can sometimes be those awkward, intimate appointments.
When I met her, I knew she was a special physician. In this episode we talk to Dr. Catherine Holt, OBGYN in private practice in Frisco, Texas. Dr Holt talks about her life as a physician, what led her to that profession, how she balances her career, while raising the family she so obviously deeply loves and her walk with the Lord.
You’ll love her story, perspective and wisdom on motherhood! Thank you Dr. Holt!

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
I’m not sure about you, but conflict is never fun. But then sometimes, it’s necessary.
So what does conflict over your beliefs look like and how do you handle it? What do you base your beliefs on and are you willing to stand up and speak out for them? On this week’s episode I chat with Dr. Christina Crenshaw, a English Department lecturer at Baylor University, active participant and teacher in the fight against Human Trafficking, a Cultural Engagement and Leadership Fellow at Dallas Theological Seminary, mom, wife and believer in Christ, who recently found herself in the middle of a social media firestorm.
Dr. Crenshaw has a great story of God’s faithfulness in the middle of conflict, a gracious and forgiving perspective and a love of the truth of God’s word. Her care of students entrusted to her makes me a thankful college parent for adults in the world of academia, who are ready to engage others in civil discourse, point to truth and love them with the love of God.
I can’t wait for you to hear her story! It's a picture of truth in an uncomfortable struggle that can accompany a believer's walk, the importance of standing for beliefs based on a biblical perspective and the reflection of Christ in our daily goal to raise our children to know him fully!
I'm so glad you're here! Consider yourself prayed for!

Have you ever been to a family reunion or better yet, planned one?
I mean tons of people and loads of good food, games, people talking to you like they’ve known you forever and you have NO idea who they are? If not, boy do I have a challenge for you.
When I thought and prayed about ideas for a show, Kim Bailey, former coworker and dear friend, was one of the first people God brought to mind! For years I was intrigued by tales of summers filled with family reunions, time spent with immediate and extended family (we're talking upwards of 250 people, mind you) and was in awe that those things actually still happen and the extent to which they were planned!
So when was the last time you went to a family reunion? I guarantee you haven’t been to one like this, at least I bet it’s been too long (thanks COVID). Family is such a gift from God and this last year has shown us how important our physical presence is to each other through this past years' inability to be together, even when doing so out of love and care for each other. I don't know about you, but I've missed my immediate and extended family more than ever.
Take a listen to Kim and how their family plans these events on such a large scale.
I’m thankful for the importance of family and consider myself destined to plan one for our family. Thanks Kim for being on and...Challenge accepted!

When she ran into a woman sharing information describing a new childcare program in her area, she never thought she would qualify. But she did! After learning what it meant to be a part of a program to bridge the gap for kiddos between preschool ages and kindergarten with her own children, Rebecca's love for children grew into an lifelong path only God can pave.
This week we talk to my longtime childhood friend, Rebecca Connell, about her personal as well as career journey with Head Start. Rebecca shares the benefits, challenges and resources to families available thru this government program started in the LBJ era in the 1960’s.
From childcare worker, Center Director and other positions in between, this current HR Director for Cornerstone Community Action Agency, shares how each step led to the next in an amazing story of a developed passion grown through years from personal experience, fostered into a love of children and resulting in hard work for the benefit of children at risk and their families.
I can’t wait for you to learn more about this program and the lives it has changed with God’s help...and a little help from a friend.

From The Box Project, to Uganda, to local DFW medical supply distribution, Mission Regan has been playing a critical role in filling the gap between those in need and those in plenty. Today you’ll hear a story of the call of God on a couple that thought they were just entering the new season of adoption, but were led in a direction they hadn’t expected.
Mission Regan has been serving the North Dallas area and over 67 countries globally since 2010. I can’t wait for you to hear how obedience to a tug on their heart has led to blessing, exponential growth and miracles in front of their eyes and blessings to those on both ends of the ministry.
What if we all answered those calls? What a difference we could make! Thank you Mission Regan and Courtney for sharing!

This week is so special and the completes this two part series of episodes recorded with a long time friend, Brenda Patterson. When my husband and I were first married, we had a great tight knit group of friends at church, about 15-20 couples that changed our lives forever. Brenda and Bob were one of those couples. Now after 23 years, and a lot of life lived, we sat down and talked about all we’ve learned...well, at least part of it.
In this part two, Brenda shares the story of a tragic, untimely loss and how God walked through this tragedy with her, filling her with a joy that only He can explain. What a beautiful story of strength, joy and opportunities fully embraced, while trusting in God to bring her through.
I know the rest of Brenda's story will touch your heart. Consider yourself prayed for! I’m so glad you’re here!

This mom! Ashley Gonzales is an ER nurse and a mother of four and a foster mom, with a distinct gifting to serve, give and help others however she can. When our family's path crossed with Ashley's family many moons ago, I never expected how God would do it again years later...in a whole different place!
Ashley’s story is inspirational, encouraging, motivating and shows how we can help those around us in need, if we open our hearts to what God might bring our way. I can’t wait for you to hear how she gave of herself (quite literally) to a stranger and strives to serve God every day with her job, family and people she meets along the way.

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
In this week’s episode, I chat with my dear friend Angie Sneathern. Angie is the epitome of someone who is constantly doing what teacher’s call, ‘redirecting’. Only her redirection is consistently focused on the big picture...how does this matter from a Godly perspective and how do I point not only myself, but my children to Jesus?
As a lifelong educator, mother of three boys, a new empty nester and follower of Christ, Angie is a wealth of knowledge, humor, and the most amazing Tennessee accent you can imagine! After working together for a few years, her friendship is steadfast, deep and is a soul you can text, call or share with at any time and you know she has the heart of prayer and commitment of friendship like no other.
I know you’ll love listening to this woman over a cup of coffee or a drive-thru closest to you . I’m praying for God’s impact on your heart!

Welcome to SEASON TWO of the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
In this episode, I talk to the fun-loving, adventure-seeking, acting and ministry minded Meredith Brumwell. From life before marriage and family, ministry and missions, Meredith has a contagious zeal for life that energizes you and pushes you to experience more.
Her thrill of adventure is most aptly seen in her passion for acting in commercials, movies, as well as work in print media. Her credits include movies (hint: there are dinosaurs) commercials for well known products, services and trucks. I’m such a fan! But it’s her love of the gospel and sharing that knowledge of Christ that is at the heart of who she is. Her experience in communications, girls and church ministry shows her heart for sharing the love of Christ.
How I love this woman and her impact on my life and the time she poured into my girls! I can’t wait for you to hear her story!

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
On this final episode of Season 1, I talk to my good friend and former coworker, Candace Hunt. After losing someone important in her life at a very young age, Candace grew up determined to make a difference in the lives of those in her family and others in her sphere of influence. Her perspective of being there for her kids, learning what it means to have a blended family and sharing her love of God with those she loves most is as contagious as her dimple-faced smile. You will love this sweet, southern momma who is fiercely in love with Jesus and shares that joy with those she meets.
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

In this episode, we talk to Jessica Gibson, mother to one, stay at home mom and wife to an essential worker. From writing to building her own house, she is literally a jack of all trades.
Jessica is a constant picture of patience, one that rests in God’s plan and a loyal friend in all circumstances. But her heart of discipleship of others around her to know God in a more intimate way has inspired me in friendships with those in my sphere of influence. Jess' transparency and honesty in her struggles as a new mom, her desire to learn from others and heart of honesty is truly a picture of humility and sarcasm, all at the same time. What a perfect combination! I can’t wait for you to meet her!

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
In this episode, I catch up with Mindy Nitcher, fellow @texastech alumni, dietician, world traveler and niece extraordinaire!
Mindy has a heart for missional living which led her on global adventures, sharing Christ's love to people she meets. Her love for the people of Thailand is evident. From language school, navigating life abroad and delivering her first child in a foreign country during her first few years of marriage, to repatriating, Mindy's honest and transparent view of motherhood is real and refreshing, as well as hilarious! Mindy’s thoughts as she approached becoming a mom and the experiences afterward, might not be one that some women readily admit, but many would agree with. I remember that time well!
Mom-life is a joy-filled experience full of growth, but can also full of anxiety at times to care for our children to the best of our abilities, prayerful that we’re doing it right, while asking for God’s help along the way! Grab some coffee and enjoy!

Isn’t that JUST what God wants from us? Living deep in our giftedness in our sphere of influence? Stacie’s transparency about navigating change during COVID with kids, masks, distance learning to transferring districts all in an attempt for peaceful resolution in a time of unrest. Stacie shares her heart and life with those around her through music, ministry and deep love of her family.

In this episode, Dr. Melissa Ewing, Psychologist and Marriage and Family Minister at First McKinney, sits down with me and shares her heart about raising three children, working on her PHD, her ministry roles, as well as drops some empty nester mom wisdom you’re going to want to hear. Dr. Ewings advice on working towards a healthier marriage is vital for our families, but often something we put on the back burner. Her perspective is real, honest and transparent about things we go through as moms, how children change us, but hopeful in what God filters into our lives along the way. Thanks for checking it out! I know you’ll love it as much as I did!

Welcome to the Drive Thru Mom’s Podcast!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! In this episode, I talk to breast cancer survivor, Jennifer Morrison, as she tells her story before diagnosis, during and how God worked and showed up daily in her life along the way.
“You are one thing one day and one thing another and it changes your life forever.”
Jennifer explains how her perspective changed, time spent became more intentional and how God stepped in with just the right provision with her family and friends through the fear, diagnosis, treatment. What an awesome, tangible reminder of God’s love and hand on your life. Jennifer shares how God never left her and how it was such a "sweet manifestation of his love for us", no matter what part of our story we are experiencing!
I hope you find encouragement in Jennifer’s journey!

In this episode I talk to the Co-Founders of One More Ministries, Jen Drake and Melissa McAdams, about their heart for adoption and how they jumped into action for this huge need by starting this non-profit ministry.
The One More Ministries team seeks to reach the world with the gospel of God’s love, assisting in funding of adoptions for couples in need, furthering that adoption story by bringing kiddos with no parents home to a forever family. What a beautiful picture! This conversation shows what affected them personally, the desire to do more and is one of hope, missional living and making an impact on generations to come. Their upcoming event October 17-18, 2020 #milesforthemillions is one to listen for and see how you can take part!
