The podcast features real conversations aimed at helping believers live for Christ while being grounded in the truth as they navigate life in this secular world.

Modern medicine offers a range of assisted pregnancy options, but these can raise important biblical and ethical questions. What should a couple do when they are struggling to conceive? What choices are available? And which options are consistent with the teaching of Scripture? In this podcast, we explore both sides — the medical alternatives and the biblical principles that should guide Christian couples seeking to honor God in this sensitive area. Helping us navigate this complex topic are Mike and Adrienne D'Offay, an eldership couple in Joshua Generation, together with Dr Louise Dauth, a general practitioner with a special interest in women’s health.
