  • Summary

  • The Go-to Podcast for Adoptive Parents Who Want Encouragement in Their Adoption Journey! Did you finally realize your dream of having a family only to have your happily ever after turn into a nightmare? Are you constantly second-guessing your parenting, anxious about whether your child will make good choices and remain faithful? Do you wish more than anything that your child would know Christ and just turn out ”OK”? Have you neglected yourself to the point that it’s taken a personal toll on you? Hi Neighbor! Welcome to Anchors of Encouragement. I’m Tim Maudlin: Husband, Adoptive Parent, Disciple of Christ, and Ambassador of Encouragement. I too felt the joy of having a family of my own and I wished we could be like other families. But I found myself up late at night, anxious about my child’s future and asking myself, ”Why is this happening? Am I a failure as a parent?” It was only by grabbing a lifeline from God and my friends that I was able to navigate the challenges of adoptive life. And now I can’t wait to share everything I’ve learned with you. My mission is to be your friend and encourager, to throw adoptive parents a lifeline, and offer biblical mindset support as you partner with Christ, providing stability as your anchor when you need it the most. If you’re ready for real and raw talk, with strategies and insights that lead to peace beyond comprehension so you not only survive but thrive in life’s storms, this podcast is for you. Hope and Healing are on the way! I’m here for you, neighbor!

    159 – 3 Ways to Acknowledge an Adoptive Parent and Be Their Umbrella of Encouragement
    Nov 9 2024

    Have you ever had rain in your heart? Maybe you should seek shelter under the umbrella of a friend.

    Hi Neighbor!

    Have you ever had rain in your heart? Sometimes it can feel like a drizzle while other times it feels like a downpour.

    Where can adoptive parents go for shelter?

    I believe the solution is found under the umbrella of a friend.

    In this episode, I would like to share this idea of an umbrella with you and explain how it relates to the Encouragement Anchor.

    We’ll also consider 3 ways to acknowledge an adoptive parent and be their umbrella.

    I pray this episode encourages you to seek shelter under the umbrella of a friend and be an umbrella for them too.

    Hope and Healing are on the way.

    Your Neighbor,⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Tim

    158 – Are You Struggling To Trust If God Wants You To Adopt? This 1 Thing Will Help!
    Nov 2 2024

    Have you ever struggled with trusting that adoption is what God wants for you? May I suggest that you ask God for clues?

    Hi Neighbor!

    In this episode, I would like to respond to an answer a listener gave me to the following question... What would support you the most RIGHT NOW when it comes to adoptive parenting?

    We’ll consider this answer by looking at the clues God gave Gideon in Judges chapters 6-7. And I’ll share one of the clues we received in our adoption journey with the story of the phone call that almost didn't happen.

    Hope and Healing are on the way.
