The Beauty of Broken

Life isn’t perfect, and neither are families. Elisa Morgan, founder of MOPS International, (Mothers Of Preschoolers) talks honestly about her parents’ sudden divorce when she was five, her mother’s alcoholism, and her father’s absence. Armed with a heart of faith, Elisa determined to create the perfect intact family once she married and had children of her own. While her efforts still didn’t give her the perfect family, learning to forgive the family God gave her was transformative. Elisa also shares how Christ changed her life at age 16 and led her to attend seminary. It was there that Elisa met her husband, Evan, and seven months later, they married. Their family would expand years later when they adopted two children. Raising children, Elisa explains, came with plenty of challenges, including her unwed daughter’s two pregnancies and her son’s addictions.
