Tune in to hear Jake’s unique take on the role of birth partner and how to truly be helpful. Listen as Bethany shares her thoughts on dealing with anxiety leading up to birth and handling contractions. How should the Christian couple view birth and God? What are some scriptures to pray through during labor? Join us as we dive into the this topic!

With elections just around the corner, we know there are a lot of emotions: excitement, anxiety, fear and hope to name a few. As Christians we know our identity is in Christ first and foremost. So where does voting land for the believer? What does the Bible have to say? Is there a wrong or right way to vote as Christ followers? We hope you'll join us as we pull back the curtain on how we approach election season and share some practical, and more importantly, biblical questions we can all ask ourselves before we hit the polls.
