    It’s Time for the Church to Talk About Assisted Reproductive Technology

    In this episode, we unpack why fertility treatment is controversial, from questions about when life begins to the ethical concerns surrounding embryos, medical intervention, and God’s design for marriage and procreation. We examine why Bible-believing Christians often disagree, highlighting how Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant traditions approach assisted reproductive technology differently. We also address the emotional connection many believers make between IVF and abortion, and why that comparison intensifies debate. Most importantly, we consider the cost of church silence—shame, confusion, and isolation—and cast a vision for how churches can respond with theological depth, pastoral wisdom, and Christlike compassion so that no believer has to navigate fertility decisions alone.

    Before We Decide: Asking Questions About Genetic Testing in IVF

    Genetic testing of embryos during IVF—called PGT—can be complicated and controversial, especially for Christians walking through infertility. In this episode, we talk honestly about what PGT is, why it’s often recommended, and the ethical and faith questions it brings up. Instead of quick answers, we slow down and make space to ask hard questions, seek wisdom, and think about how faith shapes medical choices with lifelong impact—whether you’re facing IVF decisions yourself or supporting someone who is.

    Secondary Infertility Is Infertility Too

    Secondary infertility may be even more lonely than initial infertility. Because people often don’t understand it, it can feel like something you shouldn’t talk about at all. In this episode, we get honest about the misguided thoughts and feelings we once had about secondary infertility—and how everything changed when we walked through it ourselves. The pain of secondary infertility is real, but so are the ways God meets us in that pain and works through it.
