In today’s episode, I sit down with my wise and witty friend Kristina to explore a perspective we don’t often hear in church, what it means to be a faithful woman who doesn’t have children by choice. Kristina opens up about the discernment behind her decision, the assumptions she’s faced, and the freedom she’s found to serve God and others in powerful ways.

We talk about how identity in Christ (Galatians 3:28) transcends traditional roles, how community can grow when we move beyond assumptions (Romans 12:4–5), and how God’s calling looks beautifully different for each of us (Jeremiah 29:11). Kristina's story is a gentle challenge to choose curiosity over judgment and to trust that every life path, when surrendered to God, can bear fruit.

Whether you’re a parent, child-free, or still discerning your path, I believe this episode will leave you encouraged, seen, and reminded that you are fully known and loved by God.
