About this episode

Monica Herber shares her journey of dealing with infertility and finding joy in unexpected circumstances through faith.

Friend, We all have dreams, but sometimes our dream isn’t what God had in mind when He created us. In this Summer Rewind of S1E14, my guest, Monica Herber, shared her dream of starting a family, but when that dream was dashed because of infertility, she and her husband decided to adopt. They fell in love with their beautiful little boy, but after multiple diagnoses, their dream of a healthy child was dashed. Monica shares her heartbreak and how God taught her how to be joyful in the unknown. Monica’s links: Website: www.thejoyfulunknown.com.
