Summary

I grew up with cystic fibrosis and a death sentence—but Jesus gave me peace and purpose. Amy and I met at a summer camp, prayed for clear direction, and God knit our hearts. When my health declined and foster care paused, He surprised us: a stranger called and asked if we would raise her baby. We were in the delivery room, and two days later Lily came home. In a packed courtroom months later, her adoption was finalized. In our weakness, God showed off—turning fear into faith and longing into family. 🙌👶💛

Interview with Josh and Amy Glasscock

As a child, Josh Glasscock was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease called cystic fibrosis, which has no cure and always causes death in its victims.

But instead of shutting down and resigning himself to a defeated existence doomed to die, Josh and his wife Amy believe that God has called them to live a full and abundant life.
