Simple Obedience

In this episode I share about conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with my third living baby, Hosanna.

Prayerfully consider your own relationship with alcohol, share with a fri...

If you are pregnant or a mom, this episode is for you. I recorded this as I felt the Spirit stirring in me on a drive home one day to address fear in pregnancy, and in motherhood overall. This is something that means so much to me that moms understand, that God chose YOU to be their baby's mother and that He is ultimately in control of it all. We do not need to operate out of fear of the test resu...
