The Generational Impact of Saying “Yes” to Life with Nicole C. Mullen

Welcome to the Called to Love Podcast! In this episode, my special guest is the amazing Nicole C. Mullen, a Grammy-nominated, Dove Award-winning American Christian singer, songwriter, actress, and author of the new book, “It’s Never Wrong to Do the Right Thing: Courageous Stories to Inspire Godly Decisions”. She also has an incredible story of overcoming domestic abuse, adopting her two sons, choosing life for her daughter, and a story of choosing life from her grandparents. Our conversation spans stories of the Bible to Nicole’s own personal journey to how it is relevant for us as adoptive and foster parents today. We may not see the total impact of saying “yes” to this calling, but it can ripple through generations. Here are a few key takeaways: God is with you in the dark seasons of life, as Nicole puts it the “night seasons” and often He works a lot in the dark. The impact of choosing life may never been seen earth-side but it is full of rewards from God The impact of saying “yes” to life can continue for generations, like Nicole’s personal story and the story of Moses Nicole worked through a dark season of domestic abuse. She encourages parents to children from abusive homes to model Jesus the Good Shepherd in being patient and gentle. Even if we are Christians, we are not immune to the hard things of this world. Nicole points out how God is with us even when we sin, suffer the consequences of our actions, or the consequences of other people’s sin and actions, and how He is good in that.
