Longing for Children: Trusting God Through Chronic Pain - Part 2
Episode notes
Welcome back to The Broken and Redeemed Podcast! Join hosts Eric, Jenny, and Jessica as they continue their discussion on navigating marriage without children due to health struggles.
In this episode of the Broken and Redeemed podcast, hosts Eric and Jenny Ferguson and Jessica Deveault discuss personal reflections, practical encouragement, and biblical perspectives on living with gratitude and hope amid longing. Whether you’re in a similar season or looking to support loved ones, this conversation offers encouragement, empathy, and actionable insights.
If there’s one thing they hope you take from today’s conversation, it’s that your worth isn’t tied to whether or not you have children. Your value is secure in Christ—whether your family looks like what you dreamed of or not.
And remember: waiting seasons aren’t wasted seasons. There’s purpose, growth, and even joy available right now, even in the longing.
Thanks for joining us! Whether you’re experiencing this firsthand or hoping to better support a loved one, we encourage you to join the conversation. Let’s seek truth, extend grace, stay rooted in Christ, and grow in faith together.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- How to navigate the tension between longing and waiting when children aren’t a possibility yet (or at all).
- Ways the church can create a supportive, understanding environment for couples facing infertility or health-related struggles.
- Biblical encouragement for those struggling with unmet expectations.
- Practical ways to find joy and purpose in the waiting season.
- The importance of community and how to show up for each other with love and presence.
