WOW do we have a treat for you with today's podcast! Phoebe Waller and her husband (Emergency Medicine attending in Harrisburg, PA) were both missionary kids growing up, and within two weeks they discovered they were pregnant with their first baby and accepted into medical school. Six months after their first was born, they started medical school and found out they were pregnant with their second.
Phoebe shares practical recommendations when moving to a new area, like looking for a church right away, and avoiding an 8th story apartment when you're pregnant!
She also shares how she learned to let her husband be a human, how to sacrifice duty for the sake of enjoying Christ and family, and how to live a sold-out life for Christ while living at home with kids everyday. She has SO MANY good things to share, we hope you can soak up every moment of this message!

Holding Grief & Joy During Residency (Part 1) | Brooke Avon, Megan Baer, & Jackie Nave
Losing a child is something no family should ever have to experience. And to walk through it during residency seems particularly wrong. How do we process and work through grief while continuing to be a mom and spouse? And how does our husband return to work at the same hospital we received this traumatic news?
This week, Jackie Nave joins us to share part one of her story. Jackie is a wife to an anesthesiology resident in Hershey, PA, and shares the story of her son, Boden, who was stillborn while her husband was in the midst of residency. Jackie's family experienced the unique struggles of a husband in medicine who works at the hospital where they experienced traumatic loss. Through immense grief and raw emotion, the Lord has used Boden's story to give Jackie opportunities to share about Jesus everywhere she goes. At the end, she gives us the biggest mic drop we've ever heard, to give us a taste of what’s to come in Part 2! We pray that God uses Jackie's story to help you taste and see that He is good.
Scriptures referenced: Philippians 4:4-8, 1 Kings 4:16-17
