John Luke tries to get Sadie and Christian to read his favorite books. And Bella's favorite book and movie might surprise you! - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sadie has known Luis Matos for a long time, first meeting him in the Dominican Republic at an orphanage where he lived when he was 10 and she was 9. They really did “grow up like siblings” as Sadie and her family continued to visit the DR as much as they could and now many years later, Luis, his wife Brittany, and their son A.J. live in Louisiana right next to the Robertsons and Luis and Bella just graduated from Liberty University too! Luis shares how for most of his life, he didn’t have a birth certificate which prevented him from being able to travel — and get legally married — but he always knew his identity was in Christ. You’ll love this conversation and you’ll be amazed at the goodness of God as you hear Luis and Brittany’s story and always remember: God’s timing is perfect! - Learn more about your ad choices.

Sadie loves nothing more than talking about the Lord and His Word with her dad — and as it happens Willie Robertson just wrote a book all about sharing the Gospel with others! Willie is here to set the record straight: reading the Bible and studying about God is not a gift, so stop letting that be your excuse for why you can't talk with people about the Gospel! As Willie puts it: if you know the hope of heaven you should be sharing it with others!

Pastor and author MattChandler joins Sadie, and they dive right in to what it means to be made in the image of God. We hear the phrase a lot (especially at women's conferences, right?), but what does it mean for us as we live in the world every day? And what does it mean for the way we do life with others? Matt and Sadie discuss why God's wrath isn't rage but an incredible demonstration of LOVE. Plus, is community something you crave but have trouble with? You're not alone! Matt shares why failure to be vulnerable to other believers robs you of the opportunity to experience grace in a tangible way, so start investing in community right where you are! God made us and appointed us to be alive at this exact moment and THAT is exciting news. We can be a part of shining the Light of the Gospel right where we are, but it starts by saying "yes" to Jesus.
