What if the love of your life didn’t love you back… for years? Emily Stimpson Chapman, one of the original Christian influencers from the golden age of blogging, shares her unforgettable love story, raw struggles with infertility, and the incredible journey that led to adoption.
This powerful conversation will show you how God works in the waiting, why patience is never wasted, and how to find peace and joy in every season—even when your dreams feel out of reach.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God sees you, has a plan for you, or if your prayers will ever be answered, Emily’s story will leave you full of hope.
