Besides his love for music and ministry, Powell is very passionate about the subject of adoption. He and his wife Aimee have three biological children and two adopted children. "When Aimee and I dated in high school we actually talked about how when we eventually get married we might adopt," said Powell. “So it's always been something that we've talked about." Being a parent and raising a family is also something that is very important to Mac, "I think it's something that God has placed down in all of our hearts — to be able to raise and educate and love and bring up a child," he said. "We want to raise them up to be children of faith. To know they were created by a God who loves them and has a purpose and a plan for them."
