What happens when a baby arrives at just 24 weeks, and every day feels like a battle between fear and faith? On Faith Fueled Living, host [Your Name] welcomes Ash Ruddy, author of 24 Plus One, who vulnerably shares her raw journey of giving birth extremely prematurely, enduring the NICU rollercoaster, and clinging to God's quiet guidance through uncertainty and waiting.
This heartfelt conversation explores trusting God when outcomes are unknown, how fear and faith can coexist, the power of community support, releasing perfectionism in fragile seasons, and discovering a deeper, lived relationship with Christ amid motherhood's hardest trials. Ideal for Christian women 30+ (or those curious about faith) facing pregnancy complications, high-risk journeys, loss, or prolonged waiting—this episode offers real comfort, biblical hope, and courage to see God's miracles in the midst of the storm.
Listen now to be reminded that God meets us faithfully in the waiting, turning fear into testimony.
Faith grows deepest in uncertainty and trials: Seasons of fear and unknown outcomes, like a preterm birth, often deepen trust in God more than easy times.
Trusting God when answers feel distant: Learn to listen for His quiet voice and guidance in the waiting, sustaining hope even when miracles unfold slowly.
Fear and faith can coexist in motherhood: It's normal to feel terrified while still choosing to lean on God—He meets us right in that tension.
Presence over perfection as a mom: Motherhood in crisis doesn't demand flawless performance; showing up with love and reliance on God is enough.
Community carries you through the hardest days: Support from others becomes a tangible expression of God's care during prolonged trials like NICU stays.
God meets us in the waiting, crafting miracles: He works faithfully through fragile seasons, turning pain into powerful testimonies of His goodness and redemption.
