About this listen

 Are you constantly asking God, why me? Why am I not getting pregnant? Why am I going through infertility? Are you scouring the internet for answers for how to navigate infertility and trying to conceive as a Christian? Are you looking for faith-based support on your fertility journey because no one in your circle really knows what you’re going through? Do you wish you could be at peace with God, your story, and learn to see the goodness of God in your waiting season? In this podcast, you will find faith-based encouragement and support for your TTC & infertility journey, whether you’re navigating IVF, IUI, fertility treatments or simply just waiting, you do NOT have to walk this road alone. Hi, I’m Courtney Duinker, host of the Waiting Well Podcast… I remember how it felt five years in to our infertility story, standing in the aisle of Target right after a failed IUI treatment, holding back tears as I reached for a box of tampons when a couple who was clearly expecting came down the aisle. They were smiling as they talked while holding a new pack of diapers. My heart sank. I couldn’t help the one question bubbling to the surface as my heartache over not conceiving overwhelmed me…. will it ever be my turn? I felt forgotten, lost and wanted to tap out of the roller coaster of infertility we seemed to be stuck on. I didn’t know how to find peace with God. I wrestled to believe or see His goodness. And at one point, my faith felt completely shattered. I felt so alone in our pain & suffering. As we faced questions around treatment options, I was so confused. What was God’s plan? What were we supposed to do? I so desperately wanted to honor God even with our fertility journey. But I wrestled with how. This is what led to creating The Waiting Well. A virtual “well” where TTC women can come together and be equipped with God’s Word, encouraged, challenged and ultimately supported as we learn to wait well on God’s timing. Each week I’ll share faith-based encouragement from my own infertility journey, provide information from expert guests on navigating infertility/TTC, powerful testimonials, answer common questions with scripture and share top tips on stewarding your health through this demanding journey. My mission is to equip you to live an “even if” life… Even if God doesn’t answer my prayer, or grant me this desire to be a mother, I will still praise Him. He is still good. And my life, my identity, my worth is a sure thing I find in Him alone. If you are ready to take back control of your life, find peace with God, joy in the in-between spaces and thrive in your waiting season, then meet me at the well girl.

  • When God Is Silent: What to Do When You’re Not Hearing Anything in Your TTC Journey

    When God Is Silent: What to Do When You’re Not Hearing Anything in Your TTC Journey
    Jul 7 2025

    What do you do when your prayers feel like they’re hitting the ceiling and silence seems to be God’s only response?

    In this raw and faith-filled episode, Courtney unpacks the heavy weight of spiritual silence during the trying-to-conceive (TTC) journey. If you’ve ever asked, “Where are You, God?” or questioned whether He’s listening at all—this is for you.

    You’ll explore biblical stories of silence, discover what God might be doing in the quiet, and walk away with 3 powerful ways to anchor your heart when heaven feels distant. Because silence doesn’t mean absence—sometimes, it’s the sacred space where God is preparing the most miraculous breakthroughs.

    You’ll learn:

    • The truth about God’s character when He seems quiet

    • How to discern the difference between silence and abandonment

    • 3 things you can do to keep your faith alive in the in-between

    Whether you're in month 2 or year 7 of waiting, this episode will remind you: God may be silent, but He is never still.

  • 66 | Trying to Get Pregnant? Here’s What I Wish I Did Differently

    66 | Trying to Get Pregnant? Here’s What I Wish I Did Differently
    Jun 23 2025

    In this heartfelt episode, I’m sharing the honest truth about what I would do differently if I could go back to the beginning of our fertility journey. With the wisdom I have now—and a much more holistic, faith-rooted perspective—I open up about how I would’ve prioritized healing my heart before chasing protocols, taken a more functional approach to my health, and leaned on God’s character instead of rushing ahead in fear.

    If you’re in the middle of TTC confusion, feeling pressure to make the “next move,” or wondering what you might be missing—this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and peace. I’m not here to tell you what to do—I’m here to share what I’ve learned, what I wish I’d known, and how I’d walk the road differently if I were starting from day 1 today.
