    On my own journey now for 3 years and honestly there is very little Christian content on this. It has been so encouraging every time you share your story it gets more and more powerful each time . There are so many mixed emotions that come with this journey and there are times when your faith does struggle as a Christian couple with many people who don’t seem to have fertility issues .God has definitely given you a gift in sharing in this area. I am so encouraged to keep trusting God and keep him at the centre. I cannot wait to testify one day 🙏🏾

    My life would not be the same without you both as my pastors here in Miami, I have witness when you got pregnant with Wyatt and now you 're on the 4th child! God would not do this miracles with anybody else! there is A LEGACY HE wants your family to lead (as pastor's Rich father said on fathers day) and their is NOBODY else better then you both for his purpose here in my Miami and the entire WORLD. I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!! CONGRATULATIONS!! cant wait to see Wolf's face in December right here on the stage nice and healthy!!! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.

    Wauw. I have been watching several episodes, this one was indeed a different one...the joy, the glory, the closeness... Congratulations with this new creation!! Your conversation touched me several times for several reasons. In short: the Godcenteredness, decisions, you so loving eachother, the ear/foot coordination...

    I remember that service when you first shared the infertility journey and again when you shared the pregnancy announcement and it really created a foundation to my spirituality journey. I think I idolized you both so much and then to find out that you who are leading our church can be going through something like this ands STILL love God the same it was such a wow thing to me and made me realize anything can happen to anybody but we can still love and trust in God. It’s easy to read that in the Bible but when it’s people you know it’s different❤

    Got so much comfort from this! Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart for sharing this and putting it out there. My husband and I are going to an infertility doctor right now and I've questioned in my heart if this is the right path for us, am I not believing God will do it. But, what you said about having doctors along the journey has confirmed that God is listening.

    Loved watching! Since VousCon every time I am reminded of this miracle I can’t help but start sobbing and praising God. It hits different when you’ve personally walked through infertility also! I remember watching Rich in Faith in and DC confidently speaking into the television screen with deep conviction saying I KNOW God will give us a baby. That moment marked my life as I sobbed watching from my couch. God also gave my husband and I a word a week after we got married in August 2010- a prophet told us we would have a son, he would speak the word of God, and would come sooner than we thought. God fulfilled his promise in November 2019, and we thought - wow thanks Lord, you’ve fulfilled your promise. What we didn’t know is that our child would be diagnosed with Autism and be considered non verbal to this day, age 4. This talk reminded me that the miracle is not my son’s healing, which I believe He will do, but the miracle is His faithfullness, and walking in joy and purpose as we await the miracle. What an encouraging word!

    So precious! So many nuggets to remember in your all’s testimony. “I have Work to do in the waiting- I can serve, Give, Love and Host”. “ Don’t seek out words or specific prophesy bc you are missing the real treasure-which is intimacy w/God”

    Thank you for sharing the details of your family story! I had a smile from ear to ear the entire time. It’s been a gift for me to catch a glimpse of what it’s like to be surrounded by a family of happy followers of Jesus. Hearing your stories were to me like Bible in one hand and baby in the other was for you.
