052 I Wielding Faith to Overcome Fear (with Natasha Davidson)

Surrendered Birth Stories

Hindsight is always 20/20, and we are blessed that God allows us to learn things through our experiences to help make changes for the better next time. Even though there are some things that Natasha would choose to do differently in her next birth experience, God was right there with her through her entire journey and gave her the peace that comes with His presence. During pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, with the help of counseling and the Lord, she was able to combat her anxiety and fear with truth and trust. Listen today as Natasha shares her sweet story of her son’s birth.
