Episode 9: A conversation with Karina Venable about foster parenting, adoption, and carrying on when life feels like death
Karina and I enjoy a conversation about all sorts of subjects. Karina is a woman of God who I very much appreciate for her wisdom, peace, and kindness. She is an enthusiastic mom, wife, friend, and loving family member. I feel like I rediscovered a little about Karina and her heart for prayer in this podcast.
She is writing for her church from time to time and is open to being contacted on social media. She writes at her blog karinavenable.wordpress.com and would love to hear from you there too!
When we started talking about her and David fostering kids my heart just broke a little. Karina is fierce, strong, persistent, and kind…in my opinion that’s a winning combination!
Something Karina said that I think is amazing and will stick with me…
“Good things grow slowly.”
“Read his word and take him at his word.”
At one point in their fostering journey the pain was so great she didn’t want to wake up. Boy… Karina is someone who knows how to walk with her God!
The 11:38 Podcast Episode 3: Talking about family, fasting, work, and travel with Jenny Wilcoski
Jenny and I catch up after a year and talk about business travel as a Christian. She is very well respected in her company and field and has a lot of good practical advice to offer. I've know Jenny, her husband Ed, and family for 11 years now and I'm struck by her kindness and strength of conviction. She is a great listener and friend! Thanks Jenny for catching up and being willing to be on The 11:38 Podcast!
