Coincidence or God? | Miracles, Christian Encouragement & Faith-Building Podcast

Show Notes

Those four little chambers of her heart were totally still. At 37 weeks, Val Kleppen went to the hospital in labor - only to hear the doctor say seven devastating words: "I'm so sorry, there is no heartbeat." At 12:16am on April 10, 2013, she delivered her daughter Harlan into a silent hospital room.

In this powerful Christian testimony, Val shares her faith story of stillbirth, grief, and how God met her in that hospital room and in the 13 years that followed. From HELLP syndrome and a traumatic NICU stay with her first daughter, to founding Harlan's Heart to support other bereaved families, to a miraculous vision, an instant healing, and launching The Motherhood Experience podcast - Val reveals how God was weaving a tapestry she couldn't see in the dark.

This is a story of pregnancy loss, grief and God, and faith after loss that will encourage anyone walking through suffering, stillborn loss, or questioning where God is in pain.

Jenn Robb's 16-year-old daughter should have died that night. The doctor said there was no reason she should be alive. This Christian testimony with author and nurse practitioner, Jenn Robb, is for every parent praying for a teen in crisis. When Jenn's daughter Chloe (16) was found unresponsive on April 4th, doctors told her Chloe's blood alcohol level was four times the lethal limit. What happened next changed Jenn's faith forever. In the shower afterward, while bathing her daughter, Jenn heard God say: "As much as you love her, I love her more. You have to surrender her to me." That moment of surrender to God became the foundation of her book Warrior Mom Rising and her mission to help other parents advocate, pray, and find hope in the middle of teen anxiety, depression, self-harm, and mental health battles.
