About this listen

In this episode Mitch Bakker interviews his friends and colleagues, Peter and Katie, about their decision to adopt six children into their family. It's an amazing story, full of high highs and low lows.

But through it all runs the thread of incredible joy found in choosing not their ideal "happy" life, but of saying "yes" to the life that God had for them.

Listen in as they share from their journey moving from foster care parents, to adoptive parents of six, to now being on the verge of launching children from the home. As Katy shares, from 1 Co 6:10, there is a sense as adoptive parents of being "sorrowful, yet always rejoicing" as each child has their own story and unique challenges and they find a "blend" rather than "balance" in their home life.

We'd love to hear your thoughts, and how Peter and Katy's journey landed with you. Did it help prompt you to reconsider your own story and the place of joy in your life in some new way?

We'll be back soon with an all new theme from Mitch's book, Drawn.
