    TWIU Episode 13: The Other Half

    Often, in the journey to parenthood when it’s dark, desolate and  debilitating, we overlook the emotional and mental impact of the journey to husbands. A husband’s perspective gives a complete picture into what this journey actually looks like. When God gave us The Warrior In Us it was clear that this ministry is intended to help BOTH men and women. In this episode we welcome the other half of TWIU Podcast, Renee’s husband, Josh. Josh shamelessly gives a glimpse into some of his struggles when he and Renee were in the dark of their journey. His courage will definitely break down walls for other husbands who’ve faced a similar darkness. Indeed, everyone can be blessed by this episode. ______ The journey to parenthood a.k.a. TTC and journeying through “infertility” in marriage can be dark, debilitating, and desolate. Despite your prayers. One can feel like they lack value, worth, and most tragically purpose. This journey can also be isolating. We often lack safe support which can also cause us to think God is not with us in the darkness. Does any of this resonate? If so, The Warrior In Us (TWIU) is for you. TWIU Podcast desires to bring faith, hope, community, and light into this particular journey to parenthood. Let’s heal, pursue a new life, and thrive in this journey with our help; that’s the Father, His Son, His Spirit, His Word, and one another.

    TWIU Episode 12: HERstory X Sharday B. Part. 2

    There are a number of beliefs about the journey to parenthood or TTC that many of us have going in to marriage. The majority of us believe it’ll be easy. For some though, the journey is not easy and the path is not straight. In this episode, a fellow warrior, Sharday B., shares a the second part of her testimony of her journey to motherhood. She discusses how when the doctors said one thing God had another plan! I hope you are blessed and helped by her story. Her testimony makes me soooooo excited for what the Lord has in store for His children who have not had the journey to parenthood that is light and easy.  ______ The journey to parenthood a.k.a.

    TWIU Episode 10: Jesus Did Not Do That!

    TWIU Episode 10: Jesus Did Not Do That! Due to societal views, cultural views, family views, etc. it is ingrained in us that our lives are deficient and unfruitful in the absence of children and a spouse. However, that perspective must be challenged when look at the life of Jesus—who is our model. Jesus arguably lived the best and most fruitful life of any human ever and He did not marry or have children. As a believer, He is our model. His life communicates that the perspective of the majority is incorrect. What if the key to fruitfulness isn’t what society has told us? In this episode we discuss why Jesus’s life is the ultimate blueprint for true fruitfulness, regardless of marital status or children; We challenge you to redefine what it means to be 'fruitful' in your life and faith; and offer practical steps to help shift your perspective and embrace your identity rooted in God’s purpose for you—press play and walk in the fullness of your divine potential. ______ Scriptures: Mark 12: 30 John 15:1-2 Galatians 5:22-23 Mark 4:39 Resources: Thewarriorinus.com Submissions@thewarriorinus.com https://www.motherteresa.org/mother-teresa Yana Conner: https://www.yanajenay.com/ ______ The journey to parenthood a.k.a.

    TWIU Episode 9: The B Word!

    A vicious and vile darkness preys on those of us on the journey to parenthood. Especially where that journey looks dark, desolate, and debilitating. It starts with a "b." Can you guess what it is? It can drive us further into isolation, it can harden our hearts, and once it takes root, it takes hard work to uproot it and vigilance to keep it away. This thing eats at our souls and leaves us depleted and angry. If we are not careful, it’ll leave us physically sick. Tune in to this episode where we discuss the toxicity of this root and how it can show up for those of us on this journey. ______ Scriptures: Proverbs 14:10 Hebrews 12:15 Romans 3:14 2 Peter 3:9  Matthew 6:14-15 Resources: Bitterness: Root that pollutes by Lou Priolo  Heart Disease #1 Killer of Americans: http://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/saved/D176/D438F906 Unoffendable: Brant Hanson ______ The journey to parenthood a.k.a.

    TWIU Episode 8: Words Do Hurt!

    Episode information: TRIGGER! TRIGGER! TRIGGER! WARNING! TWIU Episode 8: Words Do Hurt Whoever said “Sticks and stones break may break my bones but words shall never hurt me” LIED! On the journey to parenthood there are a number of things we hear that feel like a knife to the heart/soul. They play on repeat and cause great pain. In this episode I share a few of the statements made to me by others as I walked through my journey to parenthood. This is not meant to be a bashing session, merely to share information  on the importance of thinking about the things that we say before we say them, especially when the statement is about a circumstance that we have zero personal experience with. The purpose of this episode is to underscore the power of the tongue. We can use it to edify or build up. The choice is ours.  ______ Scriptures: James 3:2-10, NIV  Proverbs 18:21 Isaiah 55: 10-11 ______ The journey to parenthood a.k.a.
