The Adopted Brothers Podcast

Welcome to The Adopted Brothers Podcast! We are brothers-in-law and brothers in Christ. We also happen to both be adopted physically and spiritually (Ephesians 1:5). Our goal is to share stories and conversations that encourage, promote growth, and most of all give glory to our Heavenly Father. We also take an active stance on taking care of orphans, foster kids, and adoptees as this is the only religion that God accepts (James 1:27). Thank you for listening and joining us in sharing God's love with others!
