Episode notes

Vicky Stinziano—who is raising six kids through a mix of birth and foster care—argues that Christian engagement with adoption goes deeper than compassion. Adoption is the gospel relived: seeking out the vulnerable, claiming them as our own, paying a great price to give them a family and a future. Drawing on Romans 8, Hebrews 2, and the everyday witness of families who open their homes, Vicky calls Christians into a calling that requires not perfection but faith.

Vicky leads the Every Child Initiative, a ministry focused on envisioning, equipping, and empowering disciples to have gospel impact in the lives of vulnerable children. Find out more about the Every Child Initiative at everychildswfl.com.

  • Romans 8:12–17 and Hebrews 2:11 on adoption into God's family
