In this episode, we’re joined by our friend Hannah, a certified fertility instructor who teaches the Creighton Model of Natural Family Planning (NFP). Together, we dive into some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding NFP, what inspired Hannah to become an instructor, and how NFP differs from hormonal birth control.
We also discuss why NFP is so much more than family planning, exploring topics like discernment, intentional intimacy, the meaning of SPICE, and why it’s impossible to approach NFP with a contraceptive mentality while remaining faithful to its purpose. Hannah shares practical wisdom on the importance of leaning on other couples who are striving to live out their marriages faithfully and we talk about how every family is called to prayerfully discern God’s plan for the size and spacing of their children.
Whether you’re brand new to NFP, curious about the Creighton Model, or looking to deepen your understanding of marriage and fertility, we hope this conversation encourages and equips you. Enjoy!
