DNA Tests, Identity, and the Stories We May Not Be Ready to Find with Rhonda Robinson

RSS Feed

The idea of “the common good” has a rich history within the Christian church. It’s the notion that, as we pursue Jesus in our lives and in the lives of others, we are fulfilling God’s purposes for His creation. This pursuit can be messy. It means rolling up our sleeves and creating space for hard conversations about real issues that impact our lives. Things like parenting, marriage, finances, politics, art, and culture. On The Common Good, Brian From creates space to have these conversations, to sit with the big questions that we all have, to sometimes disagree, but to always look for the chance to create common good, by following after Jesus. Brian welcome listeners to join them in these conversations, to bring their own questions, hopes, and struggles, and to ultimately share in a journey to see God’s design for all of us fulfilled.

Brian From is joined by Rhonda Robinson, writer and editor at Focus on the Family, for a thoughtful conversation about the growing popularity—and hidden complexity—of at-home DNA tests. Drawing from her own adoption story, Rhonda shares how discovering biological connections can reshape identity, reopen wounds, and surface stories families may not be prepared to navigate. Together, they explore why curiosity about ancestry is deeply human, but why wisdom, discernment, and emotional readiness matter before sending off that DNA sample.
