Today on the podcast I’m welcoming Maria Hansen-Quine. She is a global speaker, author, clinical social worker and school counselor, and serves as the Global Ethnic and Racial Healing Manager at Hillsong Church. She’s a strong advocate for adoption, inclusion, and trauma-based parenting. Alongside her husband, Sam, who is an adult adoptee from South Korea, they are parents to what she terms as “nine precious jewels”, two biological children and seven adopted children (from the United States, China, and Ghana).
In this episode, you’ll hear Maria’s beautiful story of God’s blessings as she shares how her life has intricately unwoven into a lovely testimony of God’s goodness. Come to see how saying “yes” to adoption and allowing Him to direct her path, has lead her to a life of joy and overwhelming blessings!
Topics discussed in this episode:
- Hear how Maria and her husband have chosen to say “Yes” to God and His plan for their lives in serving Him and His people.
- Hear adoption stories of Maria’s 7 adopted children (from the United States, China, and Ghana), and the ways in which God lead them to each.
- Come to understand how instrumental trauma-based parenting has been in raising their 9 children and how you can begin to learn about it too!
- Learn about the mission of Hillsong Church’s Global Ethnic and Racial Healing Initiative Maria is leading to bring Unity to the global church.
As you’ll come to see in this episode, Maria and her husband continually step out in faith to live out the life God has planned for them. Their story and that of their 9 children is so inspiring, and I just can’t wait for you to listen-in!
