Isn’t it Lovely to say YES? Special Guests: Jimmy & Lauren Masters

“God can take the tiniest of yeses and make a beautiful story.”

Hours before they catch a flight home to Colorado, Jimmy and Lauren Masters detail the years in the making love story of becoming adoptive parents to their youngest son. Rachel and Tracy join Jimmy in agreement that Lauren is the best; Jimmy and Lauren detail their individual journeys to saying “yes” to fostering and then watching as, “God penned the story.” From getting the initial call about a baby in the NICU to a moment in the courtroom with the biological mother, and so much more, by the end of their story there is not a dry eye in the studio. Jimmy and Lauren conclude by giving advice and encouragement to those feeling that same the nudge to foster and/or adopt.

Episode Mentions:

• Matthew 17:20 (NIV) He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

• 1 Samuel 12:16 (NIV) Now then, stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes!

  I will see the goodness of the Lord
  in the land of the living.
