What happens when the life you thought you were going to live takes a completely unexpected turn? That’s exactly what happened to my longtime friend Beth with her family’s incredible journey from foster care to adoption, raising six kids, and learning to trust God in the middle of it all. We’ll talk about the world of youth sports, the pressure, the politics, the identity kids can attach to their sport, and how we can help our kids remember that they are so much more than an athlete. Beth shares what she wishes she had known sooner, why she encourages her kids to pursue multiple interests, and how their family has learned to prioritize faith, family, and the things that matter most, even when it means disappointing a coach. We also talk about the beautiful lessons sports can teach, the importance of showing up, and how to support kids through both the wins and the losses. Plus, Beth shares more about Dream Big Honduras, the mission she and her husband started to help remove barriers to education for kids in Honduras. This is such a heartfelt conversation about faith, family, adoption, sports, and trusting God with the unexpected, and I hope you walk away with a tiny tweak (and maybe a little encouragement) for your own family!
