Welcome to The Adopted Brothers Podcast! We are brothers-in-law and brothers in Christ. We also happen to both be adopted physically and spiritually (Ephesians 1:5). Our goal is to share stories and conversations that encourage, promote growth, and most of all give glory to our Heavenly Father. We also take an active stance on taking care of orphans, foster kids, and adoptees as this is the only religion that God accepts (James 1:27).

4w ago00:23:45Tap to summarizeWhat does it mean to trust God's plan when life doesn't unfold on your timeline?
