Host Meg Grier welcomes Lori Diller, entrepreneur and creator of Eden's Promise, for a "Pawnder" episode. They listen to a story from retired veterinarian Sherry Speer about Tiny — a Chihuahua with a serious heart condition who was saved, adopted, and loved for 15 years. Meg and Lori then reflect on how Tiny's story mirrors God's adoption of us: choosing us despite our brokenness, healing our hearts, and relentlessly pursuing us even when we wander.
