Hebrews 6:19

"We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul."

On what does God really have to say about unborn

On what does God really have to say about unborn babies?

"When is that new human being, that has just been formed, become a person? When do they have identity? God already knew ahead of time that this was gonna be the debate of when life begins. And so he makes it perfectly clear throughout scripture that identity and personhood are there at the moment of conception.

Isaiah 49:1 says, "before I was born, the Lord called me from my mother's womb. He has spoken my name." Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you before you were born. I set you apart. I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

When we look back at Mary's pregnancy with Jesus, in the first chapter of Luke, Gabriel visited Mary. He's told her that she will conceive a child, and it will be Jesus. And she immediately gets up after she's been told this, and she travels to go see her cousin Elizabeth, who is also six months pregnant with John the Baptist. And as soon as Mary walks in the door, John the Baptist leaps for joy within Elizabeth's womb.

That was so powerful to me because the first person to ever recognize Jesus on this earth as he left heaven, came to earth as a human, was an unborn baby, John the Baptist, six months gestation. What's also so powerful about that is that he recognized Jesus in some of the earliest stages of pregnancy, of human life. Mary was only a few days pregnant after having traveled to see Elizabeth. So, to me, that is one of the most powerful ways that God has declared to us that the life of the unborn is significant and that there is identity and there is personhood at the moment of conception." - Rachel Dickey

Sometimes hearing a familiar verse in a different

Sometimes hearing a familiar verse in a different translation makes it land in our hearts in a fresh way.

I recently reread Romans 8:26 in The Message, and this part especially stayed with me:

“God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along… making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans.”

Maybe you’re more familiar with the translation that says:

“The Spirit helps us in our weakness… with groanings too deep for words.”

There is such comfort in remembering that even when we don’t have the words to pray—when all we have are tears, exhaustion, silence, or aching sighs—the Spirit is still faithfully interceding for us before the Father.

You do not have to hold yourself together to be heard by God. He already knows. He sees. He understands fully.

In this conversation, Jennie and Rachel explore th

In this conversation, Jennie and Rachel explore the distinction between grief and trauma and why pregnancy loss often carries both. Rachel speaks candidly about what is commonly misunderstood about pregnancy loss and about difficult theological questions such as whether God values life in the womb and whether mothers will see their babies again in heaven.

That longing led her to write A Water Lily Among the Wildflowers: Hope and Truth for Moms after Pregnancy Loss, a book created to help mothers understand what Scripture says about unborn life, eternity, and the deep ache of loss that can feel invisible or minimized by the world.
