Choosing Faith Through Infertility and Uncertainty

Show notes

About This Episode Aaron talks with Christin Rosa, who shares her journey of faith through marriage, infertility and motherhood. Christin opens up about the cultural differences that made the early years of her marriage hard, their season of infertility, and the prenatal diagnosis she and her husband, Mauricio, faced with their son Nate. When doctors pressured them to consider ending his life, they chose instead to advocate for him, trusting God through every uncertain step. Nate survived against the odds, and Christin tells that story in her book, Saving Nate, as a testimony of God's goodness. Along the way she learned that neither children nor a spouse can satisfy the heart the way Jesus does.
