    37. Adoption and growing a heart for the vulnerable. Author of Longing for Motherhood, Chelsea Sobolik

    In this episode of the Simply127 podcast, Sara Beth interviews her good friend Chelsea Sobolik. Chelsea works for the  ERLC in their DC office. She is also an author, having written Longing for Motherhood and is working with Moody Publishers on her second book. Chelsea was born in Romania. She and another little boy were adopted by her parents in the United States when she was very young. They were 11 days apart in age and not related. Her parents adopted four other children from Russia. Chelsea grew up in a very loving household and God grew her heart for the vulnerable. When Chelsea was a freshman in college she learned that she had a rare condition that would prevent her from having biological children. She wasn’t able to find a book or resources for those walking through this type of loss. She wrote the book,  Longing for Motherhood, the book she wished she had when she was walking through this part of her life. Listen to hear more of her story and justice journey.

    36. Following God's lead when pursuing adoption and how God's love is shown through the process. Dustin Dozier from Upstate Church Five Forks

    Dustin Dozier is a husband, pastor and father to adopted children. He is the Teaching Pastor at Upstate Church Five Forks outside of Greenville, South Carolina. Dustin did not grow up in a church home and didn’t become a Christian until he was in high school after being invited to church by friends when he was a freshman.   After going on several mission trips, Dustin saw the great need to foster and adopt. God stirred in his heart the call to adopt but Dustin did not know the details of how that would look. After the earthquake in Haiti, Dustin and his wife hosted a child from Haiti and ended up adopting him and his 2 siblings. They adopted a newborn, 15 month old and two year old in a very short period of time. This wasn’t the path that Dustin envisioned when starting a family with his wife, but he learned very quickly that he needed to lean on God’s leading in his life for their family. Dustin provides advice for the journey of adoption and also for the church in caring for the vulnerable. He discusses how sometimes the world sees Christians for what they are against, not what they are for. Christians should show others the goodness of God. Adoption and foster care are ways that show others the goodness of God.   Resources:   www.127worldwide.org Simply127@127worldwide.org   Dustin Dozier @dustindozier on Instagram ddozier@upstatechurch.org

    35. Using your upbringing and life circumstances to grow and foster change in lives of others. Gary Freeman and Major League Dad.

    In this episode of the Simply127 podcast, Sara Beth interviews Gary Freeman. Gary is originally from Chesapeake, Virginia and attended East Carolina University on a football scholarship. His father was a pastor and they did not have a good relationship growing up. Gary explained how he saw the more difficult parts of his father being in ministry and as a result disregarded his faith in college. When he was a senior in college he started to pursue his relationship with Christ again.    Gary founded Major League Dad which is an organization that strives to promote a healthy view of fatherhood, pregnancy crisis support and guidance on how to care for a baby. Romans 5:8 says that “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This verse guides and propels Gary in all that he does. It permeates all efforts of ministry from the fatherless to a difficult father and child relationship to those toiling with whether or not they want to be a father.   Resources:   www.127worldwide.org Simply127@127worldwide.org   majorleaguedad.org   Gfreeman@majorleaguedad

    34. The importance of prayer and relationship building in ministry with orphans and local leaders: Tracy Arntzen from Saving Susan Ministry

    In this episode of the Simply 127 podcast, Sara Beth interviews Tracy Arntzen, Co- Founder and Executive Director of Saving Susan Ministry. Tracy and her husband, Jay, own an elevator business and live in north Atlanta. Together they have three sons. Not long after starting their own business in 2008,  they felt the call to change churches.  Through one of their church connections, Jay felt led to go to Cambodia after mission Sunday. He and one of his sons decided to go on the mission project. There he met a little girl with whom he had a strong connection. He even wanted their family to adopt her, but found out that the borders were closed to international adoption. Through prayer and guidance they felt led to still help support the girl, they nick-named Susan, and her brother.  When founding Saving Susan Ministry, Tracy was very adamant that prayer would be central to their ministry. Six years later it is still the most important thing they do. They approach orphan care in a unique and very relational way. There is an application process for anyone who wants to sponsor a child and work closely with local leaders in the countries where these children live.   Resources: Have any comments or questions?
