When you’re not in relationship with the Lord, and you’re going through something as life changing as birth for the first time, things can seem pretty scary, especially if you’re navigating something as serious as postpartum psychosis, but God can and still uses these incredibly emotional situations in our lives to draw us closer to Him. Hear how God was able to work through Christine’s first birth and postpartum by calling her to Him through the darkest period of her life, and then how He was able to give her supernatural peace during her second son’s birth as she chose to trust and surrender to Him.

Picture this…you choose a birth center for your delivery because you want a natural, unmedicated birth, with a hands off care provider. Then, you walk into the birth center, get checked, and the midwife panics and calls EMT’s and gives you not one, but two completely unnecessary episiotomies. What a 180 from your vision. Hear how God redeems Alex’s stories with two peaceful home births, following her first unfortunate birth center experience.
