In today’s episode of the Peaceful Homebirth Podcast, I’m joined by Lex Rennick for a powerful and deeply redemptive conversation. Lex shares her journey of living as a transgender man for 14 years, the questions and struggles she faced, and the life-changing moment she encountered Jesus. We talk about identity, healing, and what it looked like for her to step into God’s design for her life. Her story doesn’t stop there. Lex was also told she had cancer and might never be able to have children—but the Lord had a different plan. In this episode, she shares how that diagnosis became part of a greater testimony, leading her into marriage, motherhood, and ultimately three beautiful homebirths. We also dive into: Her transformation in Christ and how it reshaped her identity Her experience navigating a cancer diagnosis and fertility fears Why she chose homebirth and how she prepared The fears she had to surrender during pregnancy and birth Her most recent homebirth story Postpartum, nursing, and healing in her body Encouragement for women questioning God’s design or feeling afraid of birth This episode is honest, tender, and filled with hope for any woman who feels disconnected from her body, uncertain about her identity, or longing for a peaceful, faith-filled birth experience.

Today’s episode is such a special one because I’m sitting down with one of my dear friends, Madeline Marlatt—you might also know her as @mommamadeline on Instagram. She is now the author of a new book, A Labor of Grace all about God's design for pregnancy, birth and motherhood.  There’s just something different about getting to have these kinds of conversations with women you know and love… and this one felt like we were just sitting on the couch together talking about birth, Jesus, and all the ways He shows up in the middle of it. Madeline is sharing the story of her third homebirth, and you’re going to hear how intentional prayer played such a huge role in her pregnancy and labor—and the very real, specific ways God answered those prayers.

I’m joined by Bria, who is just three months postpartum after having her HBAC — that’s a homebirth after cesarean — where she birthed an almost 11-pound baby.  But her story didn’t start there. With her first baby, she experienced PROM, which ultimately led to an emergency C-section. In this episode, she opens up about the fears she carried into her next pregnancy, how she intentionally worked through them, and the ways God met her in both of her birth experiences. We also get into some super practical and honestly fascinating logistics — like what it actually looks like to rent an Airbnb for a homebirth, something so many women are curious about but don’t always hear discussed. This conversation is going to encourage you, ground you, and remind you that you are not alone — and that God is present in every part of your birth story.

Today’s conversation is such a beautiful one, especially if you are currently pregnant with your first baby and dreaming about what it could look like to have a peaceful homebirth with the Lord at the center of it. If you’re a first-time mom, you probably have a lot of questions swirling in your mind right now. Will I know what to do? What if I go past my due date? How do I actually prepare for labor in a way that builds confidence instead of fear? My guest today, Janeen Shane, is sharing the story of welcoming her first son at home this past October, what it looked like for her to trust God’s timing when she went past her due date, anchoring yourself in the Word during pregnancy, surrendering during labor, and learning to trust the way God designed a woman’s body to bring life into the world. Join the 3-Week Peaceful Homebirth Intensive. This is a live experience designed specifically for pregnant women, especially first-time homebirth moms, who are serious about preparing physically, emotionally, and spiritually for their homebirth. Three weeks of walking through how birth actually works, how to work through fear and rewire the beliefs you may have absorbed about birth, how to surrender to the powerful waves of labor, and how to invite the Lord into your birth space so you can approach your birth with peace instead of anxiety. peacefulhomebirth.com/phintensive   Support the Show & Connect with Aly   Get your FREE download of Finding Joy in Pregnancy and Birth E-book when you sign up to be a monthly supporterof the podcast- https://peacefulhomebirth.thrivecart.com/phsupport/    Homebirth Hub + Lifetime Access to PHC- peacefulhomebirth.com/homebirthhub   IG- @peacefulhomebirth   Facebook Group- https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D3VuQe4wb/     Other ways to support the mission of Peaceful Homebirth:   Araza- Get 15% off paleo certified beauty that heals with code PEACEFULHOMEBIRTH- https://arazabeauty.com/PEACEFULHOMEBIRTH Fullscript- Highest Quality Supplements at a discount.

Her first baby was born via a necessary emergency C-section — the kind of birth that leaves you grateful everyone is alive… and yet quietly shaken. Years later, during her fifth pregnancy — a surprise — she sat in a doctor’s office where abortion was casually implied as an option. In this conversation, she shares how she moved from emergency C-section to midwife-led homebirth… how biblical and mental preparation transformed her labors… and why postpartum care is not optional — especially after walking through postpartum anxiety.

Her first birth was filled with tension and pain from beginning to end — and it left her carrying trauma for 18 months. The second time? The morning labor began, a North Dakota blizzard kept her husband home until 10 a.m. — giving them an unexpected, sacred morning together as a family of three. The birth itself was intense. Wildly intense. But not painful. She kept surrendering to each surge. At one point she thought, “If this gets worse, I’m not sure what I’ll do.” And yet — it never turned into pain. Only pressure. Only power. Only peace. Her daughter’s middle name is Psalm — a reminder that even when the psalmists walked through hardship, they always returned to the faithfulness of God. This episode is about what happens when God doesn’t waste the hard story… when He redeems it. If you’ve ever felt broken by a birth experience — or wondered if healing is really possible — this conversation is for you.   Get all the details of the 3 Week Peaceful Homebirth Intensive- peacefulhomebirth.com/phintensive   Support the Show & Connect with Aly   Get your FREE download of Finding Joy in Pregnancy and Birth E-book when you sign up to be a monthly supporter of the podcast- https://peacefulhomebirth.thrivecart.com/phsupport/    Homebirth Hub + Lifetime Access to PHC- peacefulhomebirth.com/homebirthhub   IG- @peacefulhomebirth   Facebook Group- https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D3VuQe4wb/     Other ways to support the mission of Peaceful Homebirth:   Araza- Get 15% off paleo certified beauty that heals with code PEACEFULHOMEBIRTH- https://arazabeauty.com/PEACEFULHOMEBIRTH Fullscript- Highest Quality Supplements at a discount.

In this episode, we’re talking about something most women feel but rarely frame correctly: why pregnancy and birth feel so hard — and what God might be doing in it. As we watch the Lord refine His Church, exposing pride, self-protection, and self-promotion, it raises an important question: could He also be refining us through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum? From nausea and sleepless nights to intense contractions and the “ring of fire,” pregnancy and birth stretch us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But what if these trials aren’t random? What if they are part of God’s refining process — strengthening your faith like gold tested in fire? We’ll walk through Malachi 3:2 and 1 Peter 1:6–7, exploring how trials reveal the genuineness of our faith and how a Biblical perspective can completely transform how you approach natural pregnancy, homebirth, and postpartum recovery. If you’re: Preparing for a Christian homebirth Navigating pregnancy anxiety Wanting a faith-based perspective on natural birth Or struggling through a hard season in pregnancy This episode will encourage you to see your experience through eternity — and remind you that this season is temporary, purposeful, and covered in His peace. God is not wasting your pregnancy. He refines what He loves. If this podcast has encouraged you in your birth preparation, please leave a review on Apple or Spotify. When you do, it helps more women searching for a faith-based approach to homebirth and natural birth find this message.

This episode explores the historical shift from home births to hospital births in the U.S. Using a 1928–1940 study, the episode explains how rising hospital births initially increased interventions and infection risks and shows that maternal mortality only declined after some simple adjustments. From a Christian perspective, Aly discusses cultural trust in medical institutions, the professionalization of obstetrics, and how understanding this history can help women make informed choices about childbirth today.   Support the Show & Connect with Aly   Get your FREE download of Finding Joy in Pregnancy and Birth E-book when you sign up to be a monthly supporter of the podcast- https://peacefulhomebirth.thrivecart.com/phsupport/    Monthly community calls, 50% discount on Homebirth Hub (faith based homebirth preparation course), and Peaceful Homebirth Community access  - https://peacefulhomebirth.thrivecart.com/phfan/   IG- @peacefulhomebirth   Facebook Group- https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D3VuQe4wb/     Other ways to support the ministry of Peaceful Homebirth:   Araza- Get 15% off paleo certified beauty that heals with code PEACEFULHOMEBIRTH- https://arazabeauty.com/PEACEFULHOMEBIRTH Fullscript- Highest Quality Supplements at a discount.

"Most of the time when left alone, birth works." This is the phrase you'll hear me see almost on every episode. This starts with the belief that "birth is simple."  But what happens if pregnancy and birth become complicated? What if difficult things come up? Are you surrounded by people who will help you and support you, or shut you down and silence you? In this episode you'll find helpful reminders on how to build community that actually shows up when you need them to!   Support the Show & Connect with Aly   Get your FREE download of Finding Joy in Pregnancy and Birth E-book when you sign up to be a monthly supporter of the podcast- https://peacefulhomebirth.thrivecart.com/phsupport/    All Peaceful Homebirth Supporter Options- peacefulhomebirth.com    Leave a comment on LB1234 to support Freestanding Birth Centers in NE!

Today’s episode is with Aspen, a first-time mom, who had a beautiful, five-hour birth at a birth center — but her story starts long before labor began. She grew up hearing that birth was terrible — her mom even said she wished for death during hers. But instead of repeating that narrative, this mama decided to renew her mind and approach birth differently. We talk about the delicate balance between having faith-filled expectations without setting yourself up for disappointment, and how too much information can actually lead to overthinking. You’ll hear what she actually did to prepare for a peaceful, straightforward first birth — and how her mindset made all the difference. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the birth information out there and just want to know what’s truly important — you’re going to love this episode.

In today’s episode, Brit shares the incredible story of how God spoke to her heart before she was even pregnant — giving her the name of her baby and confirming that this child was part of His plan. After having hospital births before, Brit wasn’t sure if they would have more kids, and the idea of homebirth felt like a distant “maybe someday.” She used to say, “I’d like to have a homebirth, but…” — always finding a reason why it couldn’t happen. But as she began to trust God, He started opening doors one after another — leading her right into the peaceful, faith-filled homebirth she once only dreamed about. Her story is such a beautiful reminder that when God calls you into something, He also makes the way. We also talk about how the Enemy loves to use distractions and doubt to interrupt the peace that God intends for birth — and how being spiritually discerning and prepared can shift everything. Birth isn’t just physical; it’s deeply spiritual. Protecting your birth space and inviting the Holy Spirit in is key to walking in true peace and authority. If you’re feeling called to homebirth but unsure where to start, I want to invite you to join Homebirth Hub — an 8-week course that helps you prepare for your homebirth with confidence, discernment, and peace, without wasting time scrolling on Instagram or second-guessing if you’re ready.
