Welcome back to the show, friend.

I’m sitting down with Mckenzie, who has experienced two very different homebirth stories. Her first was a grueling 30+ hour birth that left her feeling like both her body and God had betrayed her. She had done all the physical prep — every stretch, every supplement, every bit of control she could — and still found herself in the middle of the very story she thought she’d avoid.

But God wasn’t done writing her birth story.

When Mckenzie became pregnant again, she knew something had to change. This time, it wasn’t about controlling every outcome — it was about surrender. She told her husband the hospital wasn’t an option, and instead of preparing harder, she asked, “Lord, how can I surrender more?”

In this episode, Mckenzie shares the five specific prayers she brought before God, how He faithfully answered each one — and even how He showed up when one of them wasn’t answered the way she expected.

If you’ve ever wrestled with disappointment, fear, or doubt in your birth journey, this story will remind you that God’s faithfulness never fails — and that when we surrender the outcome, He writes something far more beautiful than we ever could.

✨ And friend, if you’re wanting to learn how to surrender your birth to Jesus like Mckenzie did — to take what you know in your head and anchor it in your heart — then you’ll want to grab your ticket for the Renew Your Mind for Birth Masterclass on October 24th at 12:30pm CST.

It’s just $7 to come meet other homebirth moms and walk through practical exercises that will help you watch fear leave and faith rise.

So if you’re currently pregnant and planning a homebirth — but you’re tired of just scrolling and hoping that other people’s positive stories will somehow rub off on you — this is your moment.
