June is World Infertility Awareness month and because we know that many of our listeners are either experiencing infertility or know someone experiencing infertility, we wanted to have a conversation with someone who could help us all understand what it’s like to walk the road of infertility. We’re really excited to bring you today’s episode featuring Kelley Ramsey and Jenn Hesse from Waiting in Hope Ministries. Both Kelley and Jenn have walked through infertility and together they support women from all over the country who are journeying through infertility.   In today’s episode, Kelley and Jenn share their stories of infertility and how experiencing the grief of infertility affected every area of their lives, including their relationship with God. We know that you’ll appreciate their candor and vulnerability throughout this conversation. But, Kelley and Jenn want you to know that even in infertility, we can wait with hope     The opinions of guests on the Daily Grace podcast do not represent the opinions of The Daily Grace Co., and we do not necessarily endorse the resources that they recommend or mention on the show.

In this episode, Krystal and Shelby chat with author Amy DiMarcangelo about holy discontentment and how the craving we all feel for more is a God-given desire. Amy specifically encourages those who are in seasons of life that feel easy to continue to seek the Lord rather than become complacent and comfortable. We also chat with Amy about what it’s like to be a woman pursuing a seminary degree and she shares her hope that more women will pursue higher theological education. We know that you’ll enjoy this chat with Amy and we pray it encourages you to see your craving for more as a craving for the Lord!

What is the one thing that you deeply desire? Maybe it’s a relationship, a job, an opportunity, or a positive pregnancy test. We all know what it’s like to want something, yet not receive it. We also know what it’s like to watch others receive the very thing we want while we sit with empty hands. Today on the Daily Grace Podcast we talk about how to untangle all of the emotions associated with the question, “why not me?” We’ll discuss how to be honest about our emotions, honor others, and honor the Lord when we feel disappointed and discouraged. We pray that this episode meets you right where you are and offers you gospel hope and practical help.

In this episode, Krystal had the pleasure of chatting with Katie Faris about unmet expectations and challenges we face in motherhood. Through the ups and downs, Katie shares how her faith in God sustained her in seasons when life didn’t turn out how she had hoped. Whether you are a mom or have close friends who are moms, this conversation will remind you of the hope we have in Christ alone. We do not cling to our roles as mothers—we cling to the Lord. We pray this conversation is an encouragement for you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Remember His faithfulness, His care, and His promises.   Sign up for the Daily Grace Podcast Newsletter and receive the free resource "Scripture for Every Season.”   Time Stamps:   1:01 - Favorite things 5:38 - Katie’s motherhood story 9:04 - Seeing God’s goodness in the sorrows of motherhood 12:20 - Why moms often disregard their feelings 18:38 - How to encourage a mom walking through a difficult season 20:35 - Practical tips for remembering what’s true when motherhood is difficult 28:00 - What the gospel has changed for Katie   Favorite Things:  Red Sea Road Album by Ellie Holcomb   Resources mentioned in this episode:  God is Still Good Book   Connect with Katie: Instagram Website   Connect with us: Subscribe to Daily Grace: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and click subscribe.  On Android, click this podcast RSS feed link and choose your podcast app.  If needed, you can copy this link directly into your favorite podcast app (like Stitcher or Overcast).
