    Jan 26 2026

    What do you do when God is telling you one thing, but the doctors and medical system are telling you the opposite? This is a theme that came up for Amanda from before she got pregnant all the way through the births of her six children. The lesson? God’s word trumps man’s word every single time! Listen to this incredible story of fear conquered by faith as Amanda miraculously has her first vaginal birth after five previous C-Sections. Thought that was impossible? Think again!

  • 126: Choosing Worship Over Worry (with Nikki Ellwood) [Home Birth, Retained Placenta, Shoulder Dystocia]
    Jan 19 2026

    When you have a 56 hour labor, that results in a transfer from home to hospital, you would assume all of the trauma from your birth experience is wrapped up in that, right? Not for Nikki, her trauma came about during early postpartum with everything from an IGT diagnosis, to an aspirating baby to an undiagnosed retained placenta that led to a hemorrhage at three and a half weeks postpartum. After all of that, it would take some time and healing before attempting to birth again, and then when she was ready, her and her husband faced secondary infertility. Trying to trust God through the process was difficult, but He showed Himself faithful in His timing again and again. For Nikki’s second birth, she had what some others would describe as a traumatic experience-but instead for her, the supernatural peace of the Holy Spirit made it a beautiful, calm and cherished memory for Nikki!

    While I am on a little maternity leave from the podcast, we are replaying all five of my children's birth stories, and we'll end by releasing our newest baby's birth story.

  • 120: Your First Child's Birth Is The Birth Of Your Family (with Christopher Heeter) [Hospital Birth, Epidural, First Time Mom]
    Dec 8 2025

    While I am on a little maternity leave from the podcast, we are replaying all five of my children's birth stories, and we'll end by releasing our newest baby's birth story.

    In this first birth, you'll learn that I was young and ignorant to all things birth. I had a lot to learn, but God led the way! And I would learn even more in the year following my daughter's birth and would start my journey into birth work.
