Faithful Labor
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the uncertainty of birth decisions? Do you wish you could trust your instincts and invite Christ into your birth plan? Have you already had a highly medicalized birth and now wonder if there’s a more peace-filled, empowering way to welcome future children into the world? Are you on the fence about natural birth but aren’t sure if it’s the right path for you? In this podcast, you’ll discover God’s beautiful design for labor & delivery, gain confidence in your birth decisions, hear uplifting birth stories from Christian women who have gone before & be regularly reminded to keep Jesus at the center of it all so you can feel prepared (and even EXCITED!) to embrace the faith-deepening experience of physiological labor WITH God & for His glory. Hey, I’m Audrey! Bible-believing Christian, wife, former RN & mom of four—two born via C-section and two delivered at home. With my first two deliveries, I lacked sufficient education about how a woman’s & baby’s body are designed for labor, I didn’t possess confidence, I outsourced my birth decisions to others &, ultimately, I left the Lord out of my plans for pregnancy and birth. After experiencing two surgical deliveries, I realized if I wanted different (read: better) birth experiences with future babies, I would need to take a radically different approach toward birth. This led me on a Holy Spirit prompted journey to educate myself, learn from other mamas who experienced birth the way I hoped to, gain confidence in my choices & above ALL prayerfully trust in the Lord as I entrusted my future births into His good and perfect hands. Two incredibly redemptive homebirths later, I want to yell about God’s faithfulness & grace to me in birth from the mountaintops! And now I’m “here” to do just that while also aiming to equip, educate, encourage and hype up Christian mamas about alllll things pregnancy, birth & beyond so that they too can experience God’s grace-filled faithfulness to them, His beloved image bearers, in labor. So! Whether you’re still discerning if natural birth is right for you, looking to navigate through a low-intervention labor, longing for some birth encouragement from someone who has been RIGHT where you are or just wanting to keep Jesus at the center of all your birth-binging consumption, this space is for YOU. Slip into your stretchy pants, fill up that water bottle - no really… go do it, gotta keep you & baby hydrated 😉 - & let’s get into it!

I’m your host Audrey Stinson! Bible-believing Christian, wife, former RN, Certified Childbirth Educator & mama to four—two born via C-section and two delivered at home. With my first two deliveries, I lacked sufficient education about how my body was designed for labor, I didn’t possess any confidence, I outsourced my birth decisions to others &, ultimately, I left the Lord out of my plans for pregnancy and childbirth.
After experiencing two challenging surgical deliveries, I realized if I wanted different (or better) birth experiences with any future babies that God gave us, I would need to take a radically different approach and adopt a totally different mindset toward birth. This led me on a Holy Spirit prompted journey to educate myself, learn from other mamas who experienced birth the way I hoped to, gain confidence in my choices & above ALL prayerfully trust in the Lord as I entrusted my future births into His good and perfect hands.
Now, after two incredibly redemptive homebirths, I’m on a mission to equip, encourage inform & HYPE UP Christian mamas about alllll things pregnancy, birth & beyond so that they too can experience God’s grace-filled faithfulness to them in labor.
So! Whether you’re still discerning if natural birth is right for you, looking to navigate through a low-intervention labor, longing for some birth encouragement from someone who has been RIGHT where you are or just wanting to keep Jesus at the center of all your birth-binging consumption, this podcast is for YOU.
So! Slip into your stretchy pants, fill up that water bottle - no really… go do it, gotta keep you & baby hydrated 😉 - & let’s get into it!
