4. Family by Faith: The Caregiver’s Journey in Discipling Children (with Rochelle Traub)

As a parent, one of the first lessons you learn is that each kid is different. They have different passions, different personalities, and different experiences. But our deepest desire is always the same: that they would know that God loves them and He created them uniquely, wonderfully, and purposefully. His perfect plan for their life was for them to be part of your family—even if they joined it through fostering or adoption. On today’s episode, Mary Jo and Daniel are joined by guest Rochelle Traub to share her faith-filled story of navigating both biological and adoptive parenthood and the Christ-centered wisdom she has for others walking this same path.   Guest Bio:  Rochelle Traub loves connecting with people whether it’s relaxing with friends over dinner, creating memories with family in the funny moments of life, or communicating through words and voice in her marketing job at Our Daily Bread Ministries. She’s been married to her best friend, Kevin, for 33 years, and together they have three children, including their youngest daughter who was adopted from China. Rochelle looks forward to her morning “walk and talk” sessions with her exercise buddy, skiing in Colorado with family, reading a good book while sipping steaming hot coffee, and traveling pretty much anywhere. She is thankful for God’s grace and goodness in her life, and her life goal is to share the gift of Jesus.  Links:  Explore these print and digital resources to bring your family together throughout the Lent and Easter season! 📖📱  https://www.odbm.org/en/campaigns/nydi/nydi-welcome-families/lent-season Our Daily Bread Ministries: https://www.odbm.org/en/
