    31. Let's Talk Adoption - With Social Worker Tamara Mwale

    November is Adoption Awareness Month! In the last episode, I sat down with a Zambian mom who opened up about her personal journey of adopting a child. This time, I am with a social worker, Tamara Mwale, who brings us into the world of adoption from a professional perspective. Together, we unpack what the adoption process in Zambia actually looks like, from the screening and home assessments to the emotional and legal steps involved. Tamara also helps us understand how children end up in care facilities in the first place, shedding light on the realities behind the statistics and the stories we rarely get to hear. We also dive into fostering. Yup, you can foster in Zambia! We find out what it means, why it's so needed in Zambia, and how ordinary families can step into the gap for vulnerable children. Whether you're considering adoption, curious about the system, or simply want to understand how to support children in need, this episode will give you clarity, empathy, and a deeper appreciation for the work happening behind the scenes.

    28. Kredo Korner - Friend of God (Ft. Glystin B & Melanie M)

    John 15:15 tells us: "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." I sat down with my new friends Melanie and Glystin who I met on a mission trip this past July to find out what it means to be a friend of God. I pray this encourages you.

    27. Perspective Over Panic (Ft. Brooklyn Douglass)

    "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." - Marcus Aurelius. During the month of July 2025, I volunteered with Africa Freedom Mission. An organisation passionate about Ministry and Africa. I was privileged enough to have Brooklyn on my team, and after being inspired by hearing a bit of her story, asked her to come to share what God has been working on in her heart. Brooklyn gave insight to her journey on how she has been working on her perspective for the past 2 years as well as her journey on choosing faith over fear. Thank you Brooklyn for coming all this way to love on me and my people in Lusaka, Zambia! Follow Us On The Socials: Instagram: @zoeys.korner TikTok: @zoeys.korner Brooklyn Insta: @_bdouglass

    26. When God's NO Literally Saved My Life

    We all love it when we ask God, our parents, friends or family for something and they give us a supportive and enthusiastic YES! However, when we are told NO, I am pretty sure we try to negotiate that no into a yes. I am one of those who are pretty good at negotiating and justifying my way into a yes. But this time, with God, not even my God-given strong willed personally could change His answer. What I asked for was harmless (or so I thought), but God's NO is the reason why I am still here and alive today. Grab your tea, it's storytime!

    25. Kredo Korner: He Holds It All Together

    The "Butterfly effect" has been trending on TikTok and inspired this episode of Kredo Korner. In this episode, I share my heart on how God used a high school bully, to ultimately give me the experience of a lifetime in Brazil 12 years later! Bully and Brazil? How does that happen?! I know, CRAZY right? But you know who didn't think that was crazy? God! He saw what I couldn't see and turned my sadness into gladness in a way I would not have ever imagined. Kredo: a guiding belief or set of beliefs that strongly influence someone's actions or values. Key Scriptures: Romans 8:28 Genesis 50:20 NIV Isaiah 55:8-9 Song: He Holds it all together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSMJa5tImRU Whatever you may be going through, look at your life through heaven's eyes.
