In his book on Christian community, Life Together, Dietrich Bonhoeffer writes, “The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.” If you haven’t listened to any other episode, you should listen to this one. It’s true. It’s hard. It’s good. It’s beautiful. In this episode, David sits down with Angela Ward to talk about motherhood, adoption, suffering, and her mission to encourage all of us to love the ones who get ignored. As Bonhoeffer adds later in his seminal work, “The exclusion of the weak and insignificant, the seemingly useless people, from everyday Christian life in community may actually mean the exclusion of Christ.” We pray you will be encouraged and inspired to pray prayers that scare you, to welcome in those who need homes, to love with a love that is deeper, wider, and more transformative than you feel capable of, to the glory of Jesus Christ, the face of God.
