About this episode

This episode discusses how to discern between IUI and IVF through prayer and reflection, using the story of Ruth as a guiding example.

If you're standing at a fork in the road — staring down the path toward IUI or IVF and wondering if that's truly where God is leading you — this episode is for you. I'm walking through the story of Ruth, a woman whose 10 years of waiting and heartbreak led to one of the most extraordinary redemption stories in all of Scripture, and what her journey can speak into yours today. Together we're talking through how to pray through your next step, why a pause might be exactly what your body and spirit need, and the important questions to ask before pursuing assisted reproductive technology.
