About Dear Mushka
Today I’m chatting with homeschooling mama Katie Lewis, Founder of Dear Mushka, a Nashville-based company that pairs jewelry, apparel, and home goods with scripture.
Since 2014, Katie and her husband Robert have been on a mission to help women store God’s truths deep in their heart and equip them to share them with those in need.
Each Dear Mushka piece reflects scripture and comes paired with a corresponding verse card, thoughtfully designed to share hope and truth in a way that feels authentic, doable, and beautiful.
In episode 165 of the podcast, we chat about adoption and gospel-centered parenting and discipleship.

Here’s the little face that inspired us to start our own adoption journey all those years ago.
Did you hear the scream from Knoebels Amusement Park about 11 days ago?! Well, that was me! On the craziest of craziest of days, with spotty internet access and tired, dirty, happy kids, we got a voicemail from our agency saying to check our email — we have a referral!

What a Difference a Family Makes
God could have plopped down $35,000 in our laps when we stepped out in obedience to His calling on our family to adopt. But instead He mobilized hundreds of friends and family to Just Show Up. Here’s our adoption “Just Show Up” story.
