Adoption & the Gospel – Shaq Hardy

Shaq Hardy serves as the Pastor of Students and Families at Red Bank Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, while also traveling to preach at church retreats and summer camps throughout the year. With a passion for students and God’s Word, Shaq engages those around Him by sharing the truth of who Christ is and the ways that He has called us to live.Shaq’s experience growing up as a foster child stirred an affection for the orphan in Shaq’s life and through that passion has led Shaq and his wife to start their ministry “OrphanNoMore”. “OrphanNoMore” exists to help families that have the desire to adopt be able to do so by telling their story, helping them fundraise, and surrounding them with a community meant to encourage and pray for them throughout their journey. You will get to hear more on this episode about OrphanNoMore, Shaq’s intentionality in ministry seeking life-change and discipleship; AND most of all, Shaq shares with us today a beautiful picture of the Gospel and the ways that we as believers can answer the call we see in Scripture to care for the orphan and the widow. You can hear more from Shaq through his podcast: “Jesus, instead of me”, and check out more information about “OrphanNoMore” at orphannomorefoundation.org.
