About Me
- heidi r weimer
- Nashville, Tennessee
- I am a 30-something nose-ringed mom to ten-going-on-something stellar kids (4 via my belly and 6 via adoption from Ethiopia), wife to one heroic husband, children's book author, lover of justice, adoption promoter, and sold-out follower of Jesus. My mantra: "My life is not my own." And one day that will be my tattoo. Maybe.

thank you for posting this. i found your blog a round about way and was touched by your story. i didn't have 67 free minutes when i decided to click and just see what this was about, but i found them VERY quickly once i got started! i am half way through the series and does it ever turn your world upside down! thank you!
My wife and I have listened to these sermons and they are life changing. I have reccomended them every chance I get. His sermon at the Southern Baptist Convention Pastor’s Conference was awesome. In it he dealt with the suffering in the world and called us to reach out to them through the gospel and relief of suffering. His recent series in the book of Ruth was really good. Other sermons I’ve heard by him have been excellent, particularly his sermons on biblical manhood and womanhood. We have been to The Church at Brook Hills a few times and would like to join there regularly, but are already committed to another local church. The church is amazing and apparently has gone through much reform since Platt became the pastor. I’ve heard there has been over 50+ adoptions there and this is an area of emphasis along with reaching the nations with the Gospel and relief of suffering. It is very exciting. He reminds me of John Piper with his passion.
