Anabaptist Mom Talk Podcast artwork

Join me as I chit-chat about adoption,  motherhood,  and living for Jesus in the unique anabaptist culture.

I'm an Anabaptist mom of seven children (some  adopted, some biological) and  wife to my favorite human since 2005.  A follower of Jesus, actively seeking to know the Lord more intimately by reading The Word and daily seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I make lots of mistakes along the way but thankful for the forgiveness and hope of Jesus!

 It won't take you long to realize, I'm not a professional podcaster by any means. No fancy set up,  just me recording into my cellphone in my closet. But better to start small, then to not start at all.  I hope you will stick around, I'm glad you are here.
