Description

In this heartfelt episode, Lori welcomes long-time friend Stacie Kersey to share her powerful story of contentment in singleness and how God led her to adopt two daughters later in life. Stacey offers encouragement for women navigating unexpected seasons, including singleness, loneliness, and motherhood without a husband.

Raised in a conservative Christian home, Stacey was deeply influenced by the legacy of her godly grandmother. She shares how her relationship with Jesus became real after college and how God has faithfully guided every chapter of her life, even when it looked very different from what she imagined.

Now in her sixties, Stacey reflects on the joys and challenges of singleness, the beauty of spiritual motherhood, and how God used a small act of obedience years earlier to prepare her heart and home for adoption. Her journey reminds us that God sees, God knows, and He always goes before us.

  • Contentment is possible: Singleness is not second best. Stacie shares how God gave her peace and purpose in remaining single.

  • God sees and prepares: Stacie talks about God’s faithfulness in connecting her, a woman without children, with daughters who needed a mother’s love.

  • Loneliness is real — but so is God's presence.

Scripture Highlight:

“The Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord gives grace and glory. No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” — Psalm 84:11
