We've wanted to feature a couple’s perspective on navigating marriage in the midst of infertility, and we’re so grateful for the McMinns sharing what they learned.

They talk about the emotional toll of infertility, the overwhelming reality of IVF, and how they learned to communicate and stay connected during years of waiting. They also shared how the Waiting in Hope program was a lifeline, providing them with much-needed community and support.

Through faith, vulnerability, and purpose in the waiting, their story is a powerful reminder that even in the hardest seasons, God is present, working in the waiting.

There are no simple yes or no answers when it comes to IVF. It is a choice each couple has to make for themselves. It should be made prayerfully, and under wise counsel. When we look to His word we can find the pillars of our faith that will help guide us, not only in our infertility journey but in all aspects of life. We can rest in knowing that God is the creator and sustainer of life, we can trust Him through all of these complex situations.  

Disclaimer: IVF is a medical procedure that entails complex physiological and ethical implications that can’t be covered comprehensively in a single podcast episode. As a ministry, we are not qualified to provide medical diagnoses or recommendations. We encourage you to seek medical advice from qualified medical professionals.

Proverbs 4:13

Proverbs 11:14

Psalm 139

Prepare for your first appointment 

Terminology 

The Sanctity of Life: We believe that life begins at conception (specifically, fertilization as opposed to implantation). Our creator is the only one who makes life and knits us together. Thereby, we believe that all loss is valid and meaningful regardless of the situation whether miscarriage (molar, ectopic, early or late), stillborn, infant death, etc. Life is created thereby it matters to the creator, God. We know that within infertility our only true hope is found in Jesus Christ being enough and his Holy Spirit living inside of us. Even with the help of medicine and doctors, He is still sovereign over all.

Chapters Discussed: Should We Do IVF (and Other Decisions)

There are no simple yes or no answers when it comes to IVF. It is a choice each couple has to make for themselves. It should be made prayerfully, and under wise counsel. When we look to His word we can find the pillars of our faith that will help guide us, not only in our infertility journey but in all aspects of life. We can rest in knowing that God is the creator and sustainer of life, we can trust Him through all of these complex situations.  </p><p><strong>Disclaimer: IVF is a medical procedure that entails complex physiological and ethical implications that can’t be covered comprehensively in a single podcast episode.

Kelley shares why the chapter “My Story, His Story” is her favorite and what we can learn from the stories of infertility in the Bible. They also discuss the differences between “joy” and “happiness.” Having joy in our lives doesn’t mean sadness and pain will go away. When we have our eyes on eternity, we can see what a miracle from God might look like and learn how to count it all as joy. Through their own infertility stories, they understand that it shakes everything in their lives, thankfully we all have a Lord who cannot be shaken. He is the solid rock we can lean on.

From this episode:

  • Chapters Discussed “My Story, His Story,” “What a Miracle Looks Like,” “Eyes on Eternity,” “Counting It Joy”
  • Correction: Moses’s friends lifted up his arms when the Israelites traveled to Mt. Sinai on a hill in the midst of battle. The incident didn’t happen at the Red Sea, as stated in the episode.
  • *Disclaimer: We may misspeak and give inaccurate information at times (we are human). If you hear something amiss, please let us know.

Candice shares how God met her in the pain, the power of naming her son Jet Hezekiah, and the healing found in vulnerability. A tender reminder that hope remains, even when the story doesn’t unfold as expected.

In this final episode of our 3-part series with Candice Kelm, we journey with her through the milestones that mark her path—both joyful and painful. From the heartbreak of miscarriage to the celebration of life, Candice shares the raw truth of grief and the unwavering hope she’s found in God.

Candice’s testimony is a beacon of hope and a reminder that God is near in every chapter of the story—even the ones written with tears.

Adoption is not a fix it, or solution to infertility but rather a calling from the Lord. We need to make sure we are called, in the process of working through the grief of infertility and on the same page with our spouse before we go forward with adoption. It is not an easy process and comes with many of its own struggles. God is the one who weaves families together, we should make every decision prayerfully.
