How To Deepen Faith From A Christian Perspective During Fertility Journey

Published: Nov. 5, 2021, 7 a.m.

Tiffany Jo Baker joins us as we're digging into deepening your Christian faith during the fertility journey.

Welcome to day #4 of our series on faith and fertility.

When we are faced with a fertility diagnosis such as low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, or diminished ovarian we may feel shocked, hopeless, lost, and overwhelmed.

We may even question our body\u2019s ability to procreate.

Today I\u2019ll be discussing how our faith can help us during our fertility journey.

Because we can change our diet, improve our sleep, do all the latest tests to optimize our fertility, but it is equally important to work on our mindset and the belief that we are parents the moment we begin trying to conceive.

Our Fab Fertile Method includes a mind, body spirit approach to fertility. All steps are necessary \u2013 not all at once \u2013 but layered in a personalized approach.

Today I\u2019m excited to welcome Tiffany Jo Baker. Tiffany Jo is part of my team at Fab Fertile. Tiffany Jo is a surrogate mom who has carried five babies for three families dealing with infertility and a wife of 21+ years to an extreme outdoorsman. She is a certified life, relationship, and corporate communication coach with a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling and over 20 years of marriage and family ministry experience.

In this episode you\u2019ll learn:

1) How to deepen our connection to God during the fertility journey from an Islamic perspective

2) What to do if someone says it\u2019s God\u2019s plan, or God\u2019s revenge during the fertility journey

3) How does scripture help during the stages of grief

4) The rules around the Christian faith and how this can impact us (i.e. may not be able to utilize assisted reproduce technology)

5) How to make churches welcoming to a couple who is trying to conceive as there are many triggers (i.e. families, children, and pregnant bellies)

6) How serving others can help us when we are in the middle of struggle

Excited that our LIVE Fertility Diet Challenge is launching on Nov 8th. You'll receive newly designed chef-prepared recipes (perfect for autumn and curated to optimize fertility). There will be daily motivation, guidance, and support from the Fab Fertile Team. Join the Fertility Diet Challenge here>>>>http://fertilitydietfreebie.com/
