Welcome to week three 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 episode, we’re talking about joy as we hold space for grief. You’ll hear biblical encouragement, personal stories, scripture reflections, and simple ways to center your heart on Jesus right where you are.

 

This episode reminds us that joy and sorrow can coexist, and God can still meet you where you are. 

 

Be sure to follow along in the free printable guide as we explore some thought-provoking questions together.
