Last week Chad shared his and Nicole’s story of pregnancy prior to marriage.

But God “showed up” in a marvelous way and brought them to Himself. Be encouraged my friend!

There were times when Greg's wife, Michelle, couldn't tell if Greg was dead or alive. And as they share their story—it’s apparent both were hopelessly lost. But God had a far greater purpose their lives than either of them could fathom.  They’re more alive today than ever and singing God's praises! A miraculous story to share with someone warring with drugs and alcohol.

It appeared to be a “normal” pregnancy. But the ultrasound indicated it was going to be anything but “normal.” It’s called Meckel-Gruber Syndrome, and it is simply incompatible with life. So what do you do when you are committed to the sanctity of human life and seek to honor the Author of Life? This interview will challenge you at every turn.
