Are you tired of people knowing who you are, but no one really knowing you? That is the question our guest, Ben Higgins, posed in his new book, Alone in Plain Sight: Searching for Connection When You're Seen but Not Known. After being thrust into the international spotlight on ABC's The Bachelorette (Season 11) and The Bachelor (Season 20), Ben was forced to deal with his demons behind the scenes. Our other guest, Cam Ayala, was also a contestant on The Bachelorette (Season 15) and Bachelor in Paradise (Season 6), both of which resulted in him being branded as the bad guy. Since then, Cam has been forced to cope with waves of online bullying and harassment, but that struggle is nothing compared to a life-or-death battle he has fought most of his life. Through all of their pain and soul-searching, both Ben and Cam have come to understand the importance of being truly known - by the people around them, and by God. *** Have questions, comments, or story ideas for Maybe God?

There are 153 million orphans in the world today. Most of us would agree that making more adoptions possible is the most obvious solution to the problem, but what if it's not that simple? What if, in some parts of the world today, adoptions are unintentionally hurting children? Jessica and Adam Davis set out to change a little girl's life, but a shocking revelation disrupted their journey and challenged everything they thought they knew about orphans.  The stories in this episode challenge our own preconceptions about one of humanity's most pressing concerns: protecting the world's most vulnerable children, and doing justice on their behalf.
