Finding God in the good and hard: a conversation with Cynthia Yanof on foster care and adoption
So, you're having a baby
03/24/21 • 48 min
Today on So, You’re Having a Baby, we are joined by Cynthia Yanof from the Pardon the Mess Podcast.
We are chatting about what it’s like to bring a new baby home through foster care and adoption. We often talk on this podcast about pregnancy, but realize that may not always be possible for everyone and may not even be what some feel called to at all.
Foster care and adoption are such beautiful, important aspects of parenting, and we’d be remiss to not have someone on to speak to what it’s like to foster and adopt a newborn! Thanks for listening!

Ep. 1 - You’re having a baby!!
So, you're having a baby
08/12/20 • 46 min
If you’re listening and you are or have been pregnant, you know it is totally insane. Having a baby in your tummy is crazy. But what’s even crazier is all the people around you when you’re pregnant...
And as a Christian parent, there’s kind of this added layer. This is God’s child he’s given you to steward. How do you love and care for it the way he would? How do you raise this little baby to know and love God? What do I do about the fact that this kid is going to see me at my worst sometimes, and have to overcome my weaknesses?
Join Craig and Rachel as they embark on the 4 pillars of a thriving experience as Christian parents with a newborn!
