050 I Triumph and Tragedy: A Captivating Story of God's Healing and Steadfastness (with Dr. Kim Snider) [Miscarriage, Cancer During Pregnancy, VBAC]

2 hours 10 minutes

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. Don’t miss a second of Kim’s story!
