153: Navigating the Surprises of Pregnancy with Grace (Hospital Birth, Home Birth, Twins) [with Kelli Ford]

Season 3

Monday, July 27, 2026 • Duration 01:25:15

Kelli was anticipating a beautiful, unmedicated hospital birth for her first, but an assumed diagnosis of cholestasis would have her being induced on pitocin and change all of her plans. Next time she was anticipating the same outcome, but thankfully had the birth she had planned the first time, but realized that she no longer wanted to fight the battle of trying to have a natural birth in the hospital and being questioned about every decision she was making. So when she got pregnant with twins, she and her husband landed on having a home birth! This didn’t mean, however, that her anxiety around the delivery vanished, as God would have to teach her that surrendering her plans and giving Him control was the only way that would happen, regardless of where or how she gave birth!

152: How Postpartum Complications Strengthen Your Faith (Hospital Birth, Natural Birth, Infant Illness) [with Scotlyn Harrison]

Season 3

Monday, July 20, 2026 • Duration 01:03:49

A lot of second time moms think they have a longer labor ahead of them than they actually do…and it was no different for Scotlyn when her labor zoomed by and nobody made it to the labor and delivery room before her daughter was born, not even Scotlyn! But a dream birth doesn’t always make for a dream postpartum. When Scotlyn’s daughter, Winnie, was two weeks old, her and her husband would face a challenge harder than birth itself as their daughter was rushed to the ER with vitals that wouldn’t stabilize, and eventually taken to Duke’s pediatric cardiology department. Seeing her daughter in this state was incredibly difficult for Scotlyn, but God used this situation to bring Scotlyn closer together with her husband, closer together with God himself, and to allow her to never take the gift of life for granted.

143: Labor and the Fruit of the Spirit (Infertility, IVF, Hospital Birth) [with Morgan Mathis]

Season 3

Monday, May 18, 2026 • Duration 01:01:21

What would it be like to hold your baby girl in your arms for the first time after 6+ years of struggling with infertility? Nothing short of a miracle! While Morgan and her husband were so incredibly grateful for God’s gift of their daughter, there were still some less than desirable events that occurred during and shortly after her birth that you'll have to hear to believe! Thankfully, the Lord has grown Morgan’s faith, patience and trust in Him through this entire journey and now her relationship with Him is stronger than ever!

Season 1

Monday, August 12, 2024 • Duration 01:23:14

A last minute 66 hour induction at 37 weeks is not exactly what John and Jeni had planned for their daughter’s birth, but their naïvety of being young, first-time parents got the better of them.

Season 1

Monday, August 5, 2024 • Duration 02:10:15

God-ordained pregnancies. Home birth turned birth center turned hospital turned C-sections. Babies ripped away from you. Postpartum Depression. Getting unexpectedly pregnant with twins. Your father, who’s your best friend, passing away. Alcohol Dependency. The shock of getting pregnant with twins a second time. Detoxing. Therapy. Grief. The diagnosis of breast cancer. Finding out you’re pregnant again, but now with cancer. Finding out halfway through your pregnancy that your baby has died. Getting your VBAC but not your baby. It’s crushing, it feels impossible, and in her own strength, she never would have made it. But God. This isn’t just a birth story, or several birth stories, this is a testimony of Kim’s journey to finding Jesus, her savior, and of the goodness and faithfulness of our God through every circumstance the enemy tries to use to bring us down in our fallen world.

Were you ever unsatisfied with the care you were receiving during your pregnancy? Did it give you pause when it came to thinking about how the labor would go?
