How Infertility Revealed God’s Spiritual Fruits

Medical Moms Anonymous: Insights & Christian Encouragement for Parents, Caregivers, and Families of Medically Complex Children

Hello friends and welcome to episode 6 of The Stained Glass Podcast. I’m your host, Jessica Spurlock. On today’s episode, I’ll talk about how God revealed the fruits of His spirit through the difficulty of getting pregnant.

We all have a plan for our own lives. I had a mental list of what I wanted to accomplish before I was thirty years old, and the order I wanted to do it. Listen to how the actual events went down. Let’s just say…it didn’t go according to plan! It took much longer and was a difficult journey.

During this time, I decided to look for a devotional for women who are trying to conceive, but came up empty. There were some for infertility, but I didn’t feel I was quite there yet. During the search for this devotional, I could feel God whisper to me, “why not write your own?”. So…even though I’m not really a writer, I followed God’s leading and wrote a devotional. Over the course of that three month period, while waiting for this infertility appointment, I researched, I studied, and I prayed. I really dug deep into God’s word. The name of the devotional was called Redefining TTC. TTC is the acronym for “trying to conceive”. The title, Redefining TTC means transitioning from “trying to conceive” to “trusting totally in Christ” to conceive. In this episode, I share a bit from Redefining TTC and how God used the difficulty getting pregnant to reveal the fruits of His spirit. They may not exactly align with the list given in Galatians, but they are fruits nonetheless (joy, faith, patience, peace, and trust).

I am offering an electronic version of Redefining TTC to my The Stained Glass Podcast audience absolutely free. My email address is [e-mail]. All you need to do is send me an email and put in the subject line of the email the letters TTC. I will reply back with a PDF copy of the book. And that’s it!

(And don’t worry, sending me an email will not subscribe you to some mailing list that you need to click unsubscribe a million times to stop getting spammed…I won’t do that to you all!)

In the next episode, we are going to keep the infertility discussion going with one of my favorite podcast hosts, Wren Robbins, and how God used that broken piece of Wren’s story to bring Him glory. It drops in two weeks. Until then, this has been Jessica Spurlock with The Stained Glass Podcast. Go be a blessing!
