What if one phone call changed everything?
On this episode of What Hope Sounds Like, Beth Bacall sits down with Carly Ann Taylor to hear how God rescued her from a childhood marked by abuse and instability. Growing up on the Big Island of Hawaii, Carly Ann went through years of abuse while living in a shack before finding her family who showed her that love can truly be unconditional.
At 15 years old, an invitation from her older brother took her to California for what was supposed to be a summer visit. Instead, it became the beginning of a brand-new life. There she encountered the Gospel for the very first time, found a family who chose her and discovered what unconditional love really looks like.
Later in the conversation, Carly's adoptive mom, Tassia, shares the family's perspective on saying "yes" to God's call to welcome a hurting teenager into their home and how that decision is one they have never regretted for a moment.
This summer, The Light FM is shining a light on foster care and how families can say 'yes' to God's call to open their hearts and homes to kids who need unconditional love. To find out how you can help a child in need, visit: www.thelightfm.org/aos-foster
