episode 26 | What Does the Bible Say About When Life Begins? cover

Description

What does the Bible actually say about when life begins? Does it matter when it begins? And why do Christians who genuinely love God and take Scripture seriously sometimes come to very different conclusions? In this episode, we talk through some of the biggest views around conception, embryos, personhood, heartbeat, viability, and what it means to be human before birth. If you're walking through fertility struggles, IVF, miscarriage, or month-after-month waiting for a positive pregnancy test, this often feels far more personal than just a theological debate. Especially when you’re trying to make wise decisions while still wanting to trust God faithfully. We also unpack: * why this conversation can feel so emotionally heavy, * why Christians interpret some key passages differently, * and what it looks like to wrestle honestly with these questions while still wanting to honour God. QUESTIONS FROM THE EPISODE: Genesis 2 * Is this passage telling us when life begins in every pregnancy? * Or is it specifically describing how God created the first man and what it means to depend on Him for life and breath? Exodus 21 * What does this law assume about the unborn? * What does it reveal about God’s heart and what He values? * What does it show us about what God considers worth protecting? Genesis 1 * When does the image of God begin? Psalm 139 / Psalm 51 * What kind of person do these passages assume is in the womb? * What might that suggest about when human life begins? Jeremiah / Luke 1 * Do these passages tell us something about how God sees life in the womb? * And what might that mean for how we think about the beginning of human life?

32 | Trying to Conceive & Feeling Depressed? 5 Things That Can Help

What happens when trying to conceive starts affecting more than just your plans - and you realise you don’t really feel like yourself anymore? In this episode, I talk about what can sometimes happen emotionally during a Fertility journey - when the waiting, disappointment, and ongoing uncertainty start to feel heavier than you expected, and you begin wondering if this is more than just a hard season. I unpack five things that can help you navigate this space, from grieving the story you thought your life would follow, to noticing God’s kindness in the middle of hard days, protecting your relationships, letting go of the pressure to find the perfect fix, and knowing when it might be time to ask for support. If you’re tracking Ovulation Symptoms, hoping for a Positive Pregnancy Test, or walking through the ups and downs of Fertility struggles, this episode is for when things feel harder than you can quite explain. Questions from the Episode: * Are there parts of the story you imagined for your life that you’re grieving right now? * Has infertility become the only thing you can focus on right now? * Have you pulled away from relationships because you need space right now, or has this season made it harder to stay connected to the relationships that could actually help carry you through it?  * Has this season started affecting you more deeply than you realised? * Do you need some extra support right now, rather than trying to carry this on your own?   Lyndell xx ⭐️ Leave a Review If you found this episode hopeful or helpful, I'd be SO grateful if you'd leave one or two sentences about what this podcast has meant to you.

31 | Spiritual Warfare & Infertility: Fighting Lies, Trusting God

Infertility is not only a physical journey — it can also be a place where spiritual battles become very real. When you’re tracking ovulation symptoms, walking through the uncertainty of fertility struggles, or facing another cycle without the positive pregnancy test you’ve been praying for, it can leave you vulnerable to deeper questions, fears, and doubts. In this episode, we continue our conversation on spiritual warfare and infertility by looking at the ways the enemy seeks to attack our faith, the accusations that can surface in seasons of waiting, and why recognising these battles matters. We’ll explore what Scripture says about spiritual warfare, how infertility can impact the way we see God and ourselves, and what it means to keep pursuing trust in God when your desire for conception feels far from your reality. If you are longing for answers, navigating disappointment, or trying to hold onto hope in your fertility journey, this episode will help you see the battle in a new way.

30 | Can Satan Cause Infertility? What the Bible Says About Spiritual Warfare & Fertility

Do you ever wonder if there’s something spiritual behind your infertility — not just physical? When you’re tracking ovulation symptoms and facing another negative or delayed positive pregnancy test, it can be easy to start asking deeper questions about fertility, conception, and whether spiritual warfare is involved. In this episode, we look at why infertility often leads us to search for meaning, what Scripture actually says about spiritual warfare, and whether Satan plays a role in infertility or pregnancy loss. You’ll also hear a different way of thinking about suffering, trust in God, and what your story says about your worth.

29 | Intrusive Questions At Church - What To Say & How To Cope

Handling Intrusive Questions About Infertility and TTC as a Christian When you’re navigating infertility or trying to conceive, even simple conversations can feel unexpectedly heavy — especially when questions about children or timing come up at church or in everyday life. In this episode, we talk about how to respond when you’re facing intrusive or well-meaning questions while walking through fertility challenges. I explore why these moments can feel so emotionally charged when you’re tracking ovulation symptoms, hoping through each cycle, or waiting for a positive pregnancy test in the middle of ongoing conception struggles. We also look at what’s happening underneath these conversations — the pressure to respond, the fear of being rude, and the emotional weight that infertility can carry in everyday interactions. From there, I share practical, real-life ways to respond, including gentle boundaries, simple deflections, and honest but measured answers you can use without over-explaining your fertility journey. Finally, we step back and look at trust in God in the middle of waiting — when conception is taking longer than expected and when the gap between hope and reality feels hard to hold.

28 | How to Trust in God & Find Hope When TTC Feels Hopeless

How do you find hope when trying to conceive feels hopeless? If you're navigating infertility, struggling with fertility challenges, tracking ovulation symptoms, and hoping each month will finally bring a positive pregnancy test, you know how fragile hope can feel. In this episode, we explore the difference between natural hope and biblical hope, what Scripture actually means when it talks about hope, and why trust in God is different from certainty about conception or pregnancy. You'll learn what God has promised His people, why those promises matter during infertility, and how to anchor yourself in Christ while continuing to pray, hope, and bring your desire for a baby before Him.
