## Resource

If you're standing at a fork in the road — staring down the path toward IUI or IVF and wondering if that's truly where God is leading you — this episode is for you. I'm walking through the story of Ruth, a woman whose 10 years of waiting and heartbreak led to one of the most extraordinary redemption stories in all of Scripture, and what her journey can speak into yours today. Together we're talking through how to pray through your next step, why a pause might be exactly what your body and spirit need, and the important questions to ask before pursuing assisted reproductive technology. Episode highlights: Ruth's hidden fertility story — and what 10 childless years reveal about God's faithfulness How to recognize peace vs. pressure when making fertility decisions Why addressing root causes before IUI or IVF matters so much The real ethical and emotional weight of the IVF embryo conversation What it looks like to take a sabbath from trying — and why it's biblical A guided prayer for discernment at your fork in the road Resources & Links: ✨Submit an application to join Team Bekah here: bekahyawn.com/intern ✨Join Fertility Framework : If you're ready for deeper support, personalized cycle guidance, and faith-filled encouragement, come join me inside Fertility Framework!
