In this episode of Faith Over Fear: The Christian Pregnancy & Birth Podcast, I’m joined by my very first guest—Sarah Salain, a registered nurse, Christian holistic health coach, and new mama—who shares her powerful story of waiting, surrender, and God’s faithfulness.

After years of hormonal challenges and praying for a baby, Sarah found herself walking through a long and painful season of infertility. As a health coach supporting other women through fertility struggles, her own waiting felt especially heavy—until God moved in a way only He could.

In this deeply honest and hope-filled conversation, Sarah shares:

🌱 What it was like to walk through infertility while helping others heal
✝️ How the Lord clearly led her to wait—despite pressure to pursue fertility treatments
🤰 The joy and gratitude she experienced throughout pregnancy
🕯️ Her powerful, faith-centered hospital birth and the moment her life verse came to life
💛 The raw realities of postpartum, surrendering expectations, and finding purpose in motherhood

Scripture Shared:
“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” – Romans 8:18 (NIV)
(Spoiler: Her baby was born at 8:18 PM 🕯️)

A Prayer for You:
At the end of the episode, I offer a prayer especially for the mama in the waiting—whether you're longing for a baby, facing an unexpected diagnosis, or just needing reassurance that God sees you. May Sarah’s story remind you that God’s timing is never late and His promises are always true.
