Overview

Birth isn't something that just happens to you, rather, it is an invitation from God to bend your heart toward Him as He creates new life within you. Chosen is written to redeem the fear-based cultural understanding of labor and replace it with purpose and truth, rooted in God's word; Because of Christ, you truly can celebrate your part in God's design and embrace your purpose in the season - no matter the type of birth. In Chosen, we will explore: what it means to be chosen for childbirth why this transforms your understanding and experience of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum how knowing this invites you to share your story what effect this has on your experiences through loss and grief why this understanding causes you to lean into your village how all of this affects your understanding of birth in the Bible and today The concept of birth in the biblical narrative is a powerful illustration which can transform your view of God and shed light on how He dwells within and around us; how He chooses you, and how this enriches your views on your own birth experiences and faith.
