Ep 237//Why Pregnancy Feels So Hard (And What God Might Be Doing in It)
Monday, 23 February, 2026
In this episode, we’re talking about something most women feel but rarely frame correctly: why pregnancy and birth feel so hard — and what God might be doing in it. As we watch the Lord refine His Church, exposing pride, self-protection, and self-promotion, it raises an important question: could He also be refining us through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum? From nausea and sleepless nights to intense contractions and the “ring of fire,” pregnancy and birth stretch us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But what if these trials aren’t random? What if they are part of God’s refining process — strengthening your faith like gold tested in fire? We’ll walk through Malachi 3:2 and 1 Peter 1:6–7, exploring how trials reveal the genuineness of our faith and how a Biblical perspective can completely transform how you approach natural pregnancy, homebirth, and postpartum recovery. If you’re: Preparing for a Christian homebirth Navigating pregnancy anxiety Wanting a faith-based perspective on natural birth Or struggling through a hard season in pregnancy This episode will encourage you to see your experience through eternity — and remind you that this season is temporary, purposeful, and covered in His peace. God is not wasting your pregnancy. He refines what He loves. If this podcast has encouraged you in your birth preparation, please leave a review on Apple or Spotify. When you do, it helps more women searching for a faith-based approach to homebirth and natural birth find this message. Share this episode with a pregnant friend who needs hope today.
