Summary

In today's show, we have the privilege of talking to a beautiful couple, our friends Ryan and Annie Miller, about a challenging and sensitive subject. Ryan and Annie started a non-profit called Share the Struggle. Share The Struggle is a non-profit organization that seeks to showcase God's redemptive power through media. This ministry began out of a profoundly sorrowful experience of the miscarriage of their first baby. As they walked through this trauma, it became clear that so many couples were silently grieving this same loss. They found that this trauma was not being talked about nearly enough, even though 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, leaving many couples suffering alone, especially women. Today's conversation is raw and super helpful if you have experienced a miscarriage or if you know someone who has. We go into practical help, like, things you do not want to say to someone going through a miscarriage as well as what words and actions are beneficial. We are so grateful for our friends and their ministry and all the tools they provide. We know this subject is deeply felt by many, and we hope this conversation brings help and healing. Enjoy!

0:11.4	motherhood retreat. We want to invite you to join us for a three-day retreat of being

0:22.8	aloneness, of inadequacy, of fear of weariness that so often weigh us down in the midst of
0:29.6	all it means to be a mother. We've designed this retreat with your needs in mind, your
0:34.7	need for connection with like-minded women, your need for gentleness of spiritual formation,
0:40.6	and ultimately your need to be strengthened for the task of motherhood.
0:44.8	How long has it been since someone? Anyone really poured into you. We know the answer
0:51.2	too long, if ever, as a mom you give and give and give until there's nothing left. So
0:58.2	come to where we live in Bend, Oregon, a place of startling beauty, a place to come
1:03.0	away from it all. Come with your best friends, your sister, your mom, come together or come
1:08.4	alone. It was Dallas Willard who said, if you don't come apart for a while, you'll come
1:14.2	apart after a while. So come, come apart with us for a while. Join us October 5th through
