In this inspiring and deeply thoughtful episode, I sit down with Alice H. Murray — a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, longtime adoption attorney, and author of God Adopted Us First: Faith Lessons From an Adoption Attorney's Adventures, The Secret of Chimneys, and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: An Agatha Christie Mystery. Together, we explore the unexpected ways God can redirect our careers and callings, often weaving purpose into places we never anticipated. Alice shares wisdom gathered through decades of practicing adoption law, raising a family, and pursuing her passion for literature and faith-filled storytelling. We discuss the importance of cultivating homes filled with books, stories, and conversations that reflect our Christian values — creating spaces where even the literature on our shelves can serve as quiet witnesses to God's truth. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that faith is not only something we profess, but something we live out daily through our work, our homes, our hospitality, and the legacy we leave for future generations. Whether you are navigating a career transition, building a Christ-centered home, or seeking encouragement to boldly walk out your faith, this episode will inspire you to see God's hand in every chapter of your story.
