In this episode of Faith Over Fear: The Christian Pregnancy & Birth Podcast, I’m sharing the full story of my second birth—Daniel’s peaceful home birth—and how it stretched my faith, challenged my need for control, and ultimately led me to experience more joy and surrender than I thought possible.
This pregnancy and birth journey was different from my first. After delivering my daughter unmedicated in a hospital, I found myself being called toward a new kind of birth experience. But that shift came with fear, hesitation, and daily moments of surrender—especially after walking through another miscarriage scare and months of intense early labor symptoms.
Whether you’re considering a home birth, wrestling with “what if” scenarios, or simply needing a fresh reminder that God is with you in your birth story—this episode is full of encouragement for your heart, mind, and spirit.
In this episode, I share:
Scripture Shared:
"When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world." – John 16:21 (ESV)
A Prayer for You:
I close this episode by praying over you—especially if you’re carrying fear, uncertainty, or heavy hopes into your pregnancy or birth journey. May you be reminded that God is near, His timing is perfect, and His joy is waiting on the other side of surrender.
