In part two of this conversation, Dot and Cara move from theology to everyday life, asking how being a child of God actually changes our normal, everyday lives. They talk honestly about how remembering who we belong to reshapes the way we pray, trust, forgive, and walk through hard moments. This episode is an invitation to let the truth of spiritual adoption move from your head to your heart. Grab your Bible, a pencil, and a cup of coffee, and join us.

Scripture Verse: Romans 8:15-17 (ESV)
“For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.”
