Joy and Infertility

How do you approach God when you are carrying a child you know you won’t get to hold? How do you face Him as you lose your third child? Blogger Brittany Allen shares her faith, doubt, lament, and trust through her three miscarriages. Her story is POWERFUL.

How could you ever give up one of your future children to be raised by someone else? How could you watch as someone raise your flesh and blood? In this episode Mandy shares her story of embryo adoption and says as hard as it's been, it’s been equally rewarding to know she’s been obedient in being a good steward of the lives God has given her.

Caley shares an exciting and shocking update and talks about the future of Joy & Infertility.

Lauren Bourne is the definition of a boss babe. She is an entrepreneur, speaker, writer and founder of I Am Fruitful, a non-profit built specifically for the purpose of encouraging couples struggling to grow their families. God used delayed fertility in Lauren’s life to give her a passion for speaking life into women all over the country and she does that today in this conversation!

Lauren’s story covers the infertility gamut, most TTC medical abbreviations- she’s walked through them and yet as you will hear, no miracle yet. But Lauren is determined to not allow this to keep her from having not only inner joy, but outward- genuine happiness.

Abby and Beau had a whirlwind romance, they met and married within a year. And just like their engagement, their infertility journey has been fast and serious as well. Abby has experienced 3 miscarriages within a year which has lead them to have to do some serious testing. She shares how each one has invoked a different emotion and how she has brought those to God.

In Proverbs 16:9 it says, we can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. No better verse comes to mind when Lauren shared their journey with me. After her life-long adoption dreams were unexpectedly delayed, they found out unexplained fertility would be a diagnosis they had to face too. When doors continue to close in their face, they keep their eyes on Jesus and remind each other that He is all-satisfying and forever near.

Infertility is stressful, and sometimes, that stress can be more than a marriage can take. That was Stephanie and Jared’s story. Broken pasts combined with the stresses of infertility lead them to divorce after just a few years of marriage. But God wasn’t finished with their story yet. Listen in to hear how God restored their marriage and how Stephanie continues to live her life to glorify God is every situation He allows in their lives!
