Meet Isaac!
Isaac is an aspiring pastor, adult adoptee, and adoption advocate whose life has been shaped by God’s redeeming grace. As an author and speaker, Isaac loves sharing how God has written beauty out of brokenness and how His faithfulness continues to transform lives.
Isaac is currently studying at Carson-Newman University, preparing for ministry and pursuing the calling God has placed on his heart. He is deeply passionate about seeing the next generation know Christ, love Him, and boldly make Him known in their homes, churches, and communities.
His prayer is that everything he does—writing, speaking, and serving—points people to Jesus and the hope found in Him alone.
One of the most profound lessons I’ve learned through my adoption journey is that my view of God shapes everything about my identity. I came to realize that who I am flows out of who I believe God to be—not the other way around. This struggle isn’t unique to adoptees or foster kids; it’s something every person wrestles with at some level. People often ask how I navigate my so-called identity issue —what it’s like to be a black man raised by white parents, and how that dynamic shapes my sense of belonging.
At its core, this isn’t really an identity issue—it’s a theological one.
The Gospel is the Good News that Jesus came, died, and rose again. That is the good news. The bad news is our sins. Our sins are heavy that they separate us from God, As Christians, we can proclaim that “sin separates but Jesus liberates.”
