The Good News That God Adopts Us into His Family

In this episode, Cameron and Anna discuss the riches of the doctrine of adoption. If parents can begin to grasp the reality that we are in fact God's adopted children, we can disciple our own children out of the perfect parenting of our heavenly Father, rather than the imperfect parenting of our earthly parents. Taking hold of the riches of our adoption- our status, our belonging, and our secure belovedness in God's family- all this is a true game-changer for parents who long to love their children well.  From Fear to Father: How Understanding Our Adoption Frees Parents from Anxiety by Melissa Powell Rooted In and Through Adoption by Liz Edrington 1 John 3:1 John 1:11-13 Romans 8:15-21 Follow us @therootedministry.
