Ep. 4.44 : Adoption, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and a ‘Surrendered Yes” with Rebekah Lyons

November is National Adoption Month, and I’m thrilled to be talking with Rebekah Lyons about adoption, following God’s callings, and what a ‘surrendered yes’ looks like in each of our lives.

And then there’s the fact that I’m slightly obsessed with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, and Rebekah (having lived in NYC for several years) tells us all about it. Basically I’ve reconfirmed my commitment to get there someday very soon! 

Here are some of the important topics we cover in today’s show: 

• The gift of adoption and the many ways God can show us how losing our lives is really gaining true life
• The three parts of a surrendered yes and what that means in your own life
• A pivotal question to ask yourself when considering if you’re obedient to God’s callings

I can’t wait for you to hear today’s show, and, in honor of National Adoption Month, I give you a recent picture of my sweet little one (along with a few links to articles I’ve written about our adoption journey).
