14. Our Current Trials

Trials are never easy, but they are often God's tool for growth. In this episode, we talk about how life's challenges can strengthen our faith, shape our character, and remind us that God is working even when we don't understand the circumstances. From marriage and family struggles to moving across the country, health challenges, and major life transitions, we share what God has taught us through difficult seasons. The storm may be hard, but God is faithful.

13. Would You Abort Me?

A diagnosis should never determine a person's value. In this episode, we discuss abortion after a Down syndrome diagnosis to YouTuber Jesse Ridgway and his wife, and why we believe every child, regardless of ability, is fearfully and wonderfully made by God. We share a biblical perspective on the sanctity of life, the worth of every human being, and why our culture's view of value often differs from God's. Every life is precious. Every life has purpose. Every life bears the image of God. Follow us: @thefullhouse.life @nickygavrilov @raising.our.arrows Subscribe for more conversations on faith, family, parenting, and living according to God's Word.
