68 | LOVE: Love When the Story Is Still Unfolding, for Moms by Adoption (Advent Series Part IV)

About this episode

In this episode, Carly discusses how to love our kids as God loves us, providing encouragement and reflections for adoptive moms during the holiday season.

Welcome to week 4, our final week, of our Advent for Adoptive Moms series — a four-week journey through Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love designed to help your heart slow down and meet God in the middle of your unique motherhood story (even among the holiday chaos). In this week’s (Christmas Eve!) episode, we’re talking about loving our kids in the same way God pours His love out on us. You’ll hear encouragement, scripture reflections, and simple ways to center your heart on Jesus right where you are. This episode reminds us that His love is sufficient for us. When our well runs dry, His never does. We can receive His love and give it abundantly to our kids (and all of our loved ones!). Be sure to follow along in the free printable guide as we explore some thought-provoking questions together.
