Charli's Story Part 1

from Sanctified & Slightly Unhinged · host Courtney Becker

Charli’s birth story isn’t the glowing, picture-perfect version I imagined. It’s the one with early pregnancy scares. The one with fear in hospital rooms. The one where trauma met motherhood.In this episode of Faithful and Frazzled, I’m sharing the truth about the complications, the unexpected turn during delivery, and the heartbreak of leaving my baby in the NICU on her very first night.This is about faith when you’re terrified. Strength when you feel weak. And how God showed up in the middle of monitors, machines, and unanswered prayers.If you’ve ever walked through a birth that didn’t go “as planned,” this episode is for you. 🤍

Firebrand Podcast David Watson The Firebrand Podcast (formerly Plain Truth: A Holy Spirited Podcast) is the official podcast of Firebrand Magazine and features Maggie Ulmer, Scott Kisker, and David F. Watson. In addition to providing interviews and recordings of featured articles, Maggie, Scott and David discuss culture, theology, Bible, and the work of the Holy Spirit, through the lens of the historic faith. You can expect the same humor and lively conversation as the Firebrand Podcast crew remains dedicated to resourcing listeners with Spirit-filled, theologically grounded, (somewhat) sanctified, Wesleyan content to help them "think Christianly" in today's swiftly changing landscape. Blog & Mablog Canon Press The point of this podcast is pretty broad — “All of Christ for all of life.” In order to make that happen, we need “theology that bites back.” I want to advance what you might call a Chestertonian Calvinism, and to bring that attitude to bear on education, sex and culture, theology, politics, book reviews, postmodernism, expository studies, along with other random tidbits that come into my head. My perspective is usually not hard to discern. In theology I am an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian, pretty much in that order. In politics, I am slightly to the right of Jeb Stuart. In my cultural sympathies, if we were comparing the blight of postmodernism to a vast but shallow goo pond, I would observe that I have spent many years on these stilts and have barely gotten any of it on me.
