This month we hear an interview with Kristen Howerton, a popular blogger who has been operating Rage Against the Minivan since 2006. Howerton started the blog to chronicle her adoption journey, and the platform has expanded to cover parenting, religion, race and other topics. Her writing also has appeared in the Washington Post, HuffPost, and other national media outlets.

She recently traveled with World Vision to Iraq and Lebanon and was generous enough to be interviewed for the World Vision Podcast, ironically, in the back of a minivan.

The episode also features music from singer, songwriter Jenn Bostic.
