May 26, 2025 092: Letting Go & Letting God Lead The Way (with Kelsey Russell) [Water Birth, Mastitis, Birth Support]
Starting out in marriage, you think you know the plans you have for yourself, but what does God have to say about it? Kelsey and her husband had planned on fostering and adopting to grow their family, but after God told her to give up control, they became pregnant quickly. And after each baby, Kelsey would have been done, but God’s plans reign supreme. Between moving states and homes with each pregnancy, having really good support and then not so great support, Kelsey shares all of the lessons God taught her and her husband along the journey to having their four sweet children.

May 19, 2025 091: How Prayer Can Completely Transform Your Birth (with Joselyn Johnson) [VBAC, Miscarriage, Preterm Labor]
Going into your first labor and delivery, when all of the women around you have had vaginal births, it’s easy to assume that you will too. But when Joselyn and her husband were told to have an induction for borderline low amniotic fluid levels, they did not imagine it would end in a C-section. For her second baby, learning that she was a great candidate for a VBAC, she switched practices and prepared in every way that she could to ensure a successful VBAC experience, and after a manual induction at 42 weeks, she had one! For her third baby, she planned a home birth, but at 35 weeks pregnant she never imagined she would go into labor early and while her home birth plans were forced to go out the window, God still answered all of her other specific prayers for this birth, and showed His faithfulness through and through.

April 28, 2025 088: Using Gratitude to Silence Fear (with Lauren Thomas) [Natural Birth, Water Birth, Surprise Pregnancy]
Sometimes when it comes to receiving the desires of our heart, all we need to do is ask God. Lauren learned this beautiful lesson in her most recent birth of her fifth child. Even though the pregnancy was a surprise, it made it all the more special and she was able to remain grateful throughout each and every part of the experience, down to still being pregnant at 42 weeks. Listen in as she shares this sweet birth story of her little boy, Shepherd.

April 21, 2025 087: Rewriting Your Next Birth Story Through The Proper Birth Education (with Kelsey Hogg) [Epidural, Natural Birth, Unmedicated Birth]
Kelsey and Jesse were blessed to get pregnant right away…although if Jesse had it his way they would have had a honeymoon baby! Then, working in an office of midwives, Kelsey was able to get her first time pregnancy questions answered daily, and in person. When the time came to give birth though, she was left feeling a little underprepared for the unmedicated birth she had hoped to have. Throw in an extremely strong epidural, a panic attack, and the dreaded pitocin and things just didn’t go as she imagined. For her second birth, she stepped up her preparation game by taking a more in-depth and faith based childbirth class, as well as preparing physically and spiritually, all of which greatly impacted her second labor where she was able to go unmedicated! Tune in to hear Kelsey’s full story and her advice for moms who are in the thick of it with postpartum and motherhood in general!

April 14, 2025 086: Examining the Ups and Downs of a Fast Labor (with Morgan Walston) [Precipitous Labor, Retained Placenta, Fast Birth]
Most first time moms can expect two things: first, to go way past their due date, and second, to have a long marathon of a labor. For Morgan, however, this was not the case! When Morgan woke up near her due date with cramping, she didn’t expect to be holding her baby just a few hours later! Sounds like a dream to most moms who spend hours and days laboring, but a precipitous labor has its downsides too. Thankfully, God was watching over her every step of the way, from before conception through postpartum. Listen in today for every detail of Morgan’s entire story!

April 07, 2025 085: Giving God Authority Over Your Birth (with Tasha Orson) [Postpartum Psychosis, Infant Loss, Wild Pregnancy]
When you got the natural, unmedicated, intervention-free birth you were going for, with a smooth and relatively quick labor, what could go wrong? Well, when your baby is taken from you within seconds of being born, a lot. Tasha’s first birth took a wrong turn when her baby was quite unnecessarily taken to the NICU after birth and she lost not only that golden hour, but breastfeeding initiation, skin to skin and more. All of this played a huge role into her difficult postpartum where postpartum anxiety and depression turned into postpartum psychosis due to incredible sleep deprivation. Then, after two back to back losses, she hears God speaking to her about the sovereignty of life, and the blessing of children, and decides to do a complete 180, having a wild pregnancy and free birth, prompted by the Lord who she gave full authority to throughout the process.

March 31, 2025 084: The Revelations of Childbirth Point To The Gospel (with Chloe Paul)
How much support you have or don’t have matters greatly in your labor and birth and can affect, well, pretty much everything. At the lack of support from her midwife, and doula, she transferred to the hospital for her first planned home birth. Thankfully, God’s grace met her there through a wonderful nurse who was able to help her through the rest of her labor. The next time around, Chloe prepared her team well. Not only did she have the constant support and encouragement from her husband, but from four other women who weren’t just physically and emotionally holding her up, but spiritually as well. Chloe attributes the success of her second birth at home to her intercessors who never doubted her or God’s plan for her for a second!

March 24, 2025 083: Trusting God's Plan Over A Birth Plan (with Poem Nicholson)
When you’ve always pictured having a home birth, but after 48 hours of labor you decide to transfer to the hospital, you think you’d be disappointed or possibly even traumatized in some way-but that’s not Poem’s story. See how she was able to keep her hands open in a posture of surrender to the Lord with every detail of her birth, and how His peace and His presence trumped anything else she was feeling, and how grateful she was to be living in His will, even if that meant not having a home birth. So much so, that she’s already ready to do it all over again!
