  • Pregnant Again After Loss – Finding Comfort in the Nearness of Jesus
  • To the mama whose arms are empty this Mother’s Day
  • In Christ, Nothing is Wasted

When we believe life begins at conception, we shou When we believe life begins at conception, we shouldn’t minimize the grief that comes when that life ends.  If we as Christians affirm the value of the unborn, we must be equally willing to mourn the loss of life at any gestation. 

In our latest episode, Abbey Wedgeworth shares how the doctrine of the Imago Dei (being created in the image of God) allows the church to be uniquely equipped to acknowledge and validate the pain of miscarriage. We hope you’ll join us as we talk about miscarriage, grief, and the unshakable hope we have in Christ. Episode 43: Held by God with Abbey Wedgeworth is now streaming wherever you listen to podcasts.
Episode 43 is here! In this tender and theological Episode 43 is here! In this tender and theologically rich episode, Kristin Hernandez is joined by author Abbey Wedgworth to talk about miscarriage, grief, and the unshakable hope we have in Christ. @abbeywedgeworth shares about losing her second baby, the emotional and spiritual wrestling that followed, and how the Lord met her in the midst of her pain. 

Kristin and Abbey discuss the unique challenges of miscarriage—including the often “invisible” nature of this kind of loss—and explore how the Church can respond with compassion, truth, and presence. Drawing from Psalm 139 and her devotional Held, Abbey offers biblical encouragement for women who are grieving, practical ways to engage with Scripture when it feels difficult, and the comforting reminder that God's plan of redemption cannot be miscarried. 

This conversation touches on finding purpose in suffering, affirming the value of every life in the womb, and encouragement for those who are searching for answers. No matter what kind of suffering you have experienced, this conversation will point you toward the comfort of God's character and the promise of eternal hope.

Pregnancy after loss is a journey filled with emot Pregnancy after loss is a journey filled with emotions that can’t be neatly categorized. It’s joy and sorrow intertwined. Hope and fear colliding. A deep love for the life growing inside you, mixed with the grief of the life that was lost. It’s carrying new life while still carrying the weight of loss.

Here’s what I clung to: Jesus was near.

Not far off. Not watching from a distance. Near.

Psalm 34:18 reminds us that “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

God didn’t tell me to move on quickly or pretend I wasn’t afraid. Instead, He invited me to come to Him in my weariness, full of burdens, and that’s where I would find rest (Matthew 11:28).
