ASHLEE: ON THE HOLY & HARD OF ADOPTION + MERCY & BIO FAMILY + KINDNESS & RACE
On this episode, I dive in with Ashlee Eiland - teacher, mom of 3, bio mom, adoptive mom, and author of her new book, Human(Kind). We tackle topics like adoption, relationships with birth families, kindness, and race. Ashlee so effortlessly reminds us all of God’s kindness and how that can pour over into all of our relationships. She is so steeped in Scripture as she shares pieces of her heart with us and I know you’re going to love sitting in on our chat.
The intro song, The Source, is brought to you by one of the best new worship bands out there, The Evidence. Yes, the frontman is my (talented, brilliant, adorable, Jesus-loving) cousin. No, that's not why I love them.
Ashlee’s book Human(Kind) is all about kindness and I just love her heart as she speaks to specific topics with this covering of Gospel-empowered-kindness.
As a “Literary Polygamist” like myself, Ashlee’s got a laundry list of books she’s currently reading and I’ve got each one of them here for you!
Ashlee’s loving podcasts lately and has been listening to Annie F Down’s That Sounds Fun - specifically Episode 23 with Jon Tyson and Finding Fred, a series on Mr. Rogers.
