Jesus cradles us in hope as He cradles our babies in Heaven. What if the hope of Heaven had the power to heal your heart after the loss of your baby? Miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss are heartbreaking experiences that no mother should ever have to endure. Drowning in sadness, you cry out in pain, "God, where are You? Why did You let my baby die?" You feel abandoned by Him and question His goodness. How will you ever live without your precious baby? Will you ever see him or her again? Ashley Opliger asked these same questions when her daughter, Bridget, was born into Heaven at 24 weeks in her first pregnancy. In a crisis of faith, Ashley chose to surrender her suffering and allow God to heal her heart. She found purpose in her pain when she started Bridget's Cradles, a nonprofit that now comforts thousands of grieving families across the country. Through her own story of heartbreak, Ashley will guide you on a journey to trust God's promise to restore your joy, use your grief for good, and spend eternity with your baby in Heaven. Podcast episodes feature hope-filled messages, stories, and guest interviews. Grieving mothers will be reminded that though we may grieve, we do not grieve without hope!

    In this episode, Ashley addresses one of the most common and vulnerable aspects of grief and faith: doubt. In Chapter 4 of Cradled in Hope, “A Firm Foundation: When You Wrestle with Doubts,” she shares why it’s vital to know what you believe about Jesus and why. With honesty and conviction, Ashley lays out the case for Christ’s identity as the risen Savior and explains why our hope of seeing our babies again rests entirely on the truth of the Gospel. This chapter provides a gentle introduction to apologetics and helps grieving moms wrestle through the hard questions of faith, especially when it feels like God is distant or unseen. Ashley walks through biblical evidence, historical testimony, and personal reflection, making a compelling case for why Jesus is not a lunatic or liar—but truly the Lord. When the ground beneath us feels shaky, this chapter offers a firm place to stand: Christ alone. In this episode, Ashley shared: Why it’s essential to know why you believe what you believe, especially when grieving A raw moment of doubt: wishing to see Heaven and Bridget face-to-face for comfort and assurance The struggle of believing in a God we cannot see, and Paul’s encouragement to live by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:6–7) The example of “Doubting Thomas” and why even the apostles wrestled with belief after the resurrection A breakdown of C.S. Lewis’ famous apologetics argument: Jesus is either a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord Why the testimony of the disciples—who were tortured and martyred for proclaiming Jesus—matters so deeply The power of eyewitness accounts and how the resurrection is central to our eternal hope Bridget’s name meaning (“Strongest Faith”) and the significance of naming your baby Why our core beliefs about life, death, and eternity shape how we grieve and heal Ashley invites listeners to reflect on their own faith journey and ask honest questions. She reminds us that faith doesn’t mean we never wrestle, but it means we keep leaning in, trusting that Jesus truly is who He said He is: the Way, the Truth, and the Life. GET THE BOOK!

    In this episode, Ashley shares the heart of the Christian faith and the unshakable hope grieving moms have in Jesus. In Chapter 3 of Cradled in Hope, “The Gospel Changes Everything: When You Are Desperate for Hope,” Ashley walks through the full Gospel message—from creation to restoration—and shows how it directly speaks to the pain of being separated from our babies. In our grief, the Gospel isn’t just comforting—it’s everything. It’s the only hope strong enough to anchor us when we’re desperate for answers, for meaning, and for reunion. With theological clarity and compassionate understanding, Ashley reminds listeners that death is not the end of the story. Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we can have confidence that we will see our babies again. She explains the Gospel simply and beautifully, extending an invitation to believe—or believe again—that Jesus alone has conquered sin and death. This chapter is a powerful turning point in the book club, grounding our grief in the greatest news ever told. In this episode, Ashley shared: Her most painful moment of separation from Bridget, and how that moment pointed her to the hope of reunion through Jesus Why our grief makes sense in the context of the fall—and how the Gospel is the only remedy for the brokenness we feel A clear, simple explanation of the Gospel and its four-part story: Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration The bad news of sin and Hell—and why we need to understand this in order to grasp the beauty of the Good News How Jesus' sacrifice saves us from eternal separation and secures our place with our babies in Heaven Why believing in Jesus is as simple as confessing with your mouth and believing in your heart (Romans 10:9–10) The promise that one day, we will be reunited with our children in glorified bodies on a restored earth A loving invitation for any listener who has not placed their faith in Jesus to do so todayAshley invites each listener to reflect on the beauty of the Gospel—not just as a theological idea, but as the most personal and powerful truth we can cling to in our grief. Jesus changes everything, and His resurrection gives us the promise of our own—and of seeing our babies again. GET THE BOOK!

    In this episode, Ashley explores one of the most tender and difficult aspects of grief: the feeling of abandonment by God. In Chapter 2, "Broken and Bleeding: When You Feel Abandoned by God," Ashley shares her personal wrestling with faith during her pregnancy with Bridget and the raw questions that arose when her prayers went unanswered. With profound honesty and biblical truth, she unpacks how to grieve in the tension between what our hearts feel and what our heads know to be true. This chapter is an invitation to examine your core beliefs about God, especially when pain tempts you to question His goodness or presence. Ashley shares how to shift your perspective from a feeling-driven view of God to a truth-rooted faith grounded in Scripture. Through theology, personal experience, and practical steps, she reminds us that we are not alone in our grief—Jesus is with us in the darkness, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. In this episode, Ashley shared: Her personal struggle with feeling forsaken by God during her pregnancy complications with Bridget Why understanding original sin is key to rightly viewing the cause of suffering and baby loss A powerful moment of identifying with Jesus as broken and bleeding—and how our Savior relates to our physical and emotional pain The difference between letting your feelings shape your view of God vs. letting God’s truth reshape your feelings and circumstances How a right view of God leads to trust, and how a wrong view leads to mistrust  The danger of the prosperity gospel and how it can distort our understanding of suffering and blessing The critical importance of reading the Bible with the right hermeneutic (interpretation method) Why Scripture is the balm our souls need in grief, even when it feels hard to open the BibleAshley invites listeners to sit honestly with their doubts, bring their questions to God, and allow His Word to bring clarity, comfort, and truth in the middle of confusion. She gently reminds us that the tunnel of grief is still dark, even with Jesus—but with Him, we are never alone, and there is light at the end. GET THE BOOK!
