    Ep. 12: Exposing the Spiritual Roots of Modern Birth Teachings

    Modern birth culture is full of language that sounds empowering—but isn’t always biblical. In this episode, I talk with Angela Mitchell from Raising Apologists, about the hidden New Age influence in pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. From popular birth books to hypnobirthing and affirmations, we unpack what’s really behind these teachings—and why so many Christian women are being misled. If you want discernment, truth, and a Christ-centered perspective on birth, this episode is a must-listen.

    Ep. 11: Blessingways, Crystals, and the New Age Lie Sold to Mothers

    In this deeply eye-opening episode of the Biblical Birth Podcast, I sit down with Kallan of Heart at Home Ministries for a conversation every Christian woman needs to hear. Kallan shares her powerful testimony of being radically saved out of the New Age and the occult, and we unpack the very real ways deceptive spiritual practices have infiltrated motherhood, birth, and women’s wellness spaces. From “blessingways” and crystals to placenta rituals, prenatal yoga, meditation, and counterfeit ideas about feminine power, we expose how the enemy twists what God designed as holy and tries to pull women away from Christ. We talk about why motherhood and birth are such spiritually vulnerable seasons, how women searching for depth, healing, and sacredness can unknowingly step into dangerous territory, and why so many Christian women are dabbling in New Age practices without realizing it. Kallan also shares how the Lord delivered and healed her in ways no worldly tool ever could, offering a stunning testimony of the mercy, power, and freedom found only in Jesus. This episode is bold, biblical, and full of truth. It will challenge you, sharpen your discernment, and point you back to the simplicity and sufficiency of Christ. If you have ever wondered: how the occult shows up in birth and motherhood spaces what a “blessingway” really is whether certain popular wellness practices are spiritually safe why women are so vulnerable to deception during pregnancy and postpartum how Jesus truly sets captives free then this episode is for you. Listen in for a needed conversation on spiritual discernment, biblical motherhood, and the freedom that comes through repentance, obedience, and a real relationship with Jesus Christ.

    Ep. 10: 2. The Loss That Changed Everything: Why I Left School and Now Homeschool My 7 Kids

    What does homeschooling look like when you’re raising seven children and building a life in birth work? This episode pulls back the curtain. After losing my dad, everything shifted. I left my public high school to be homeschooled—and that moment set the trajectory for everything that followed. What began in grief turned into a conviction: I would build a different path. One that carried into how I now raise and home educate my own children. Inside this episode, I walk you through: The real rhythm of our homeschool routine What I’ve stopped striving for (and what actually matters now) The mindset that allows me to lead my home without chaos If you’ve ever wondered, how does she actually do it all?—this is the honest answer. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about conviction, leadership, and building a life that aligns with what matters most. Become a Certified Christian Doula with The Biblical Birth School.

    Ep. 9: Medicaid, Licensure, and Doulas: What Montana Is Doing Right Now

    Montana has become a major talking point in the birth world as lawmakers move forward with policies related to Medicaid reimbursement and discussions around doula licensure. In this episode, we look at what’s actually happening in Montana right now and why it matters beyond one state. As conversations grow about regulation and even the possibility of national standards for doulas, Montana offers an important example of how these policies start to take shape—and what they could mean for the future of the profession.

    Ep. 8: Hospital RN to Home Birth Mom: Why I Left the Medical System with Hannah

    In this episode of the Biblical Birth Podcast, I’m joined by Hannah from Her Biblical Worldview—a former registered nurse whose perspective on birth changed dramatically over time. Hannah spent years working inside the medical system, trusting the protocols she had been trained to follow. But after stepping away from hospital nursing, diving deeper into Scripture, and becoming pregnant again more than a decade after her first two children, everything began to look different. What led an RN—someone trained in the medical system—to choose a home birth? In this conversation, Hannah shares her journey from hospital inductions and epidurals to a peaceful home birth experience. We talk about: What it’s like giving birth as a nurse who understands the system from the inside Why her perspective on hospital birth began to change The difference she experienced between her hospital births and her home birth How faith and a biblical worldview shaped the decisions she made for her family What she would say to moms who feel pulled in a different direction than the culture Hannah’s story is honest, thought-provoking, and deeply encouraging for mothers who want to think critically about birth, medical systems, and trusting the design God created for women’s bodies. This episode may challenge what you’ve been told about birth—but it will also remind you that mothers deserve to seek wisdom, ask questions, and make decisions rooted in truth.

    Ep. 7: Placenta Burial: Pagan or Biblical?

    In this episode, we examine the growing trend of placenta burial and the spiritual language often attached to it. While it’s often presented as natural or meaningful, many of the ideas surrounding placenta burial are rooted in worldview assumptions that don’t align with Scripture. We’ll talk about where this practice comes from, how New Age spirituality has influenced modern birth culture, and why Christians should think carefully about symbolic rituals connected to the body. Not everything labeled “natural” is spiritually neutral. If you’re a Christian navigating modern birth trends, this episode will help you approach this topic with clarity and discernment.

    Ep. 5 TFMR: The Merciful Choice?

    What happens when a culture calls death “compassion” and intention “righteousness”? In this episode, I take on the heartbreaking and controversial subject of TFMR—termination for medical reasons. Through a bold defense of life, I expose the cultural lie that a baby’s “wantedness” changes the morality of abortion. Together we’ll confront the twisted idea that good intentions sanctify sinful actions, and return to the unshakable truth that God alone defines life, death, and obedience. This isn’t a comfortable conversation—but it’s a necessary one. Join The Biblical Birth School https://biblicalbirthschool.com/
