Chosen: Birth + Faith Through A Doula Lens

Come learn how to remedy your faith with your views of birth and postpartum alongside a doula… Birth isn't something that just happens to you, rather, it is an invitation from God to bend our hearts toward Him as He creates new life within us. Chosen is written to redeem the fear-based cultural understanding of labor and replace it with purpose and truth, rooted in God's word; Because of Christ, we truly can celebrate our part and purpose in birth – God's design for us – no matter the type of birth had. In Chosen, we will explore: -what it means to be chosen for childbearing -how this transforms our understanding and experience of pregnancy and labor -how knowing this invites us to share our stories -how knowing this affects our loss and grief -how knowing this causes us to lean into our village -how all of this affects our understanding of birth in the Bible and today Truly, the concept of birth in the biblical narrative is a powerful illustration which can transform your view of God and shed light on how He dwells within and around us; how He chooses us, and how this changes our view on our own birth experiences and our faith.
