    Sep 9 2025
    Trying to conceive can feel like a never-ending cycle of guessing, hoping, and waiting. In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what I’m doing differently as my husband and I begin trying for baby #3. I share my personal fertility journey—from battling infertility and IVF to welcoming two miracle girls—and why this season feels different. This time, I’m pairing faith with science by using Inito, the at-home fertility monitor that tracks four key hormones for a full picture of your cycle. No more squinting at test strips or relying on app predictions. Inito has given me clarity, peace of mind, and a six-day fertile window backed by real data. But more than that, I’ll walk you through the biblical perspective that shapes how I use tools like this: stewarding my body wisely, trusting God fully, and remembering that faith and science are not enemies. If you’ve ever felt like you’re missing something or wasting precious cycles, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with practical TTC tools, spiritual encouragement, and a reminder that even in the waiting, God is good. ----more---- Try Inito THE Fertility Tool you Need - as shared today, this is the tool I just started using as we begin preparing for conceiving baby 3!!

  • 72 | Trusting God or Playing God? The Line Between Faith and Fertility Science
    Aug 11 2025

    In this 20-minute episode, Courtney walks listeners through four common TTC tensions—creating embryos (IVF), genetic screening/selection, donor eggs/sperm & surrogacy, and data-driven tracking—without handing out black-and-white verdicts. Instead, she anchors each topic in Scripture (Psalm 139; Job 31:15; Jeremiah 1:5; Proverbs 16:9; Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:31–32; Proverbs 3:5–6; Philippians 4:6–7) and offers heart-level reflection prompts to help couples discern before God. You’ll pause to journal, check your motives around control vs. stewardship, and hear a testimony of finding peace when science becomes a gift—not a god.

    Jul 28 2025

    What if healing isn’t the same as getting pregnant? In this powerful episode, we unpack a truth many Christian women overlook during infertility: healing is not always the outcome we expect—but it’s always available. Courtney explores what the Bible actually says about healing, why we often chase results instead of Jesus, and how to let God meet you in your brokenness, not just your prayers for a baby. If you’re exhausted from hoping and still hurting, this episode will meet you where you are—with truth, compassion, and a path toward peace.

    Jul 21 2025

    Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things—praying, tracking, believing—but nothing is changing? Like you’re emotionally and spiritually frozen in place while the months pass and hope slowly fades?

    In this episode, Courtney gets honest about the spiritual “stuckness” so many women feel while trying to conceive. She unpacks 3 hidden reasons you may feel stuck in your faith and your fertility journey—and gently reminds you that being stuck doesn’t mean you’re broken.

    Through Scripture, story, and soul-level encouragement, you’ll walk away with:

    • Permission to grieve what hasn’t happened yet

    • Clarity on what real spiritual healing looks like

    • A renewed invitation to pursue peace with God, even while you wait

    If your faith feels numb, your prayers feel hollow, or your heart is tired of holding it all together—this episode will speak directly to the ache and offer you hope.

    🎧 Listen now and discover why healing doesn’t have to wait for your breakthrough.

  • 68 | When God Is Silent: What to Do When You’re Not Hearing Anything in Your TTC Journey
    Jul 7 2025

    What do you do when your prayers feel like they’re hitting the ceiling and silence seems to be God’s only response?

    In this raw and faith-filled episode, Courtney unpacks the heavy weight of spiritual silence during the trying-to-conceive (TTC) journey. If you’ve ever asked, “Where are You, God?” or questioned whether He’s listening at all—this is for you.

    You’ll explore biblical stories of silence, discover what God might be doing in the quiet, and walk away with 3 powerful ways to anchor your heart when heaven feels distant. Because silence doesn’t mean absence—sometimes, it’s the sacred space where God is preparing the most miraculous breakthroughs.

    You’ll learn:

    • The truth about God’s character when He seems quiet

    • How to discern the difference between silence and abandonment

    • 3 things you can do to keep your faith alive in the in-between

    Whether you're in month 2 or year 7 of waiting, this episode will remind you: God may be silent, but He is never still.
