Has God Abandoned Me While Longing for a Baby?

Do you ever wonder if God has forgotten you in your fertility journey, or if your prayers for conception will ever be answered? When the ache for a child is deep and the waiting feels endless, it’s understandable to find yourself questioning God’s presence and faithfulness.

In this episode, I reflect on Psalm 20 and the tension between desire and uncertainty. You’ll hear why hope can feel confusing when we want specific outcomes, why God’s presence doesn’t depend on whether prayers are answered, and how longing and struggle do not mean you are abandoned or unloved.

This episode is about finding steady hope in Christ, even when your journey feels heavy or positive pregnancy tests remain elusive.

Do you feel unsure about who to tell, what to share, or whether to stay quiet when it comes to your fertility journey? Between well-meaning questions, church conversations, family expectations, and online spaces that feel both supportive and exposing, deciding whether to speak up or stay private can feel surprisingly heavy when you are navigating fertility challenges or delayed conception.

In this episode, I talk about why the pressure to share can feel so strong, why silence is not the same as secrecy or fear, and how trust in God helps us make wise, grounded decisions about whether or not you disclose your pain. I explore the difference between sharing from a place of peace versus sharing from pressure, and why you do not owe your story to everyone.

You will hear practical guidance for discerning who is safe, when sharing may be helpful, and when protecting your heart is the wisest option. We also talk about how faithfulness is not measured by how much you disclose, why privacy can honour God, your marriage, and your capacity, and how Christ-centered hope steadies us even when our story remains unseen by others.

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying more than you were meant to while trying to conceive? Timelines, expectations, perfectionism, and even putting your life on hold can quietly pile up, leaving you exhausted, discouraged, and questioning where God is in the waiting. In this episode, I talk honestly about four things to consider letting go of in 2025—not because your longing for a baby doesn’t matter, but because God never intended you to carry this season alone. We’ll explore how releasing these burdens can create space to breathe, to live faithfully in the present, and to anchor your hope in Christ, even when the waiting feels long and painful. I pray this episode meets you gently right where you are.

Do you feel like Christmas is impossible this year, or overwhelming just thinking about it? Between family gatherings, church events, and social media filled with pregnancy announcements and picture-perfect celebrations, it can feel like there is nowhere to rest when you are navigating infertility, fertility challenges, or grief over delayed conception.

In this episode, I talk about why Christmas can feel so heavy, why faithfulness is not about doing it all or pushing past your limits, and how trust in God can bring steady hope in the middle of weariness, disappointment, and unmet expectations.

You will hear practical ways to navigate the season wisely, from setting boundaries and protecting your heart to showing up in ways that honour God without draining your peace, and why your grief, limits, or quiet struggle do not make you less faithful or less loved. This episode is about finding steady hope in Christ, even when Christmas does not look or feel the way you imagined.

If you’re trying to conceive and finding the experience heavier than you expected emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, this is for you.

In this first episode, I share my personal infertility story. While your journey may look different from mine, many of the burdens are shared: the repeated hope and disappointment, the constant mental load, the strain on faith, and the quiet grief that often goes unseen.

I give the raw details about how trying to conceive affected my emotions, my sense of self, and my relationship with God. This includes the shock of discovering that becoming a mother wasn’t just hard, but tangled with medical risk, closed adoption doors, and decisions that forced us to weigh life, loss, and faith all at once. I also share how infertility brought a deep wrestling that reshaped how I thought about faith, suffering, and hope in Christ.

My hope is that as you listen, you recognize your own experience reflected in this conversation, that the emotions you’re carrying make sense, that others have walked this road too, and that even in the heaviness of infertility, you are not alone.
