Kat's Birthkeeper Ali Coulas joins us today. We learn about her spiritual path to becoming a Labor & Delivery as well as what led her out of the system and into the sovereign birth world, where Kat was her first sovereign birth she attended. We venture to answer questions like: What does it actually mean to “hold space” for women? How can birthkeepers hold just enough space without encroaching to closely on a woman or just being a distant fly on the wall?How do yin (feminine) and yang (masculine) energies manifest themselves in labor and birth, and what does this mean for the type of birth we can expect to experience?We also delve into Kat's false pre-eclampsia diagnosis which Ali discovered after reviewing Kat's medical records from her first birth. You won't want to miss this! Unfortunately, birth sabotage happens all the time in the system, and you get to hear a few stories of this blatant practice in today's episode. Connect with Ali at @mindbodywomb on Instagram!Brilliant Beaver Guidebook - Audio VersionEngage kids aged 6-9 with fun, screen-free activities from the world of scoutingJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

A physical birth will eventually die. A spiritual birth determines our eternal destiny and lives forever.

Last week we talked about the second birth that God works through faith in Jesus Christ. But today I want to ask a question how can we be certain that that birth has actually happened? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peace-devotions/support

I'm back! With a very special episode. While this episode is the story of my pregnancy and birth, I have tried to make it relatable to everyone. I share what I learned and practised through manifestation, visualisation, meditation, hypnobirthing and breathwork to make my dream birth my reality! Birth was both the most challenging, yet magical experience of my life. I have never been so spiritually heightened in my life and I have been so excited to share this with my Pass Around the Smile community. This is a positive birth story and it has felt empowering to share how I felt through this transformative time. Surrendering and trusting the process have been instrumental during this time, and I know they're topics that my community all love! Thank you for all your love and support while I stepped back and honoured where I was at. As all Mothers do, I have experienced the biggest shift in my life and I'm adjusting to my new normal everyday. Tired, but extremely grateful.

Hey There! This episode is a bit different because we are missing our beautiful Gina... fear not, she will be back next week! I (Kris) interviewed my long time bestie Jessica Hoagland, the most grounded, loving and special nurse and doula I know! Jessica shares her wealth of widsom around birth as a spiritual experience and we dive into some stories you're going to love! Enjoy! -Kris Key Takeaways:

NOTES: Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” John 3:3 (NLT) Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. So don't be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.' The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born of the Spirit.” John 3:5–8 (NLT)    A new BEGINNING requires a SPIRITUAL birth. But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!) Ephesians 2:4–5 (NLT) HOW DO YOU EXPERIENCE A NEW BIRTH? A - ADMIT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM B - BELIEVE JESUS IS THE ANSWER C - COMMIT YOUR LIFE TO JESUS BOTTOM LINE: The Gospel is not about making good people BETTER, but bringing dead people to LIFE. CHALLENGE: Go ALL IN.

Unlike other living creatures which are born insignificantly, which live an involuntary life and which die an uncertain death, physical birth of human beings connotes an important and, if they are extra-circumspect about it, perhaps a final stage of their evolutionary progress. Here onwards, they are no longer automatons but masters of their destiny, which they can shape and mold according to will. And this means that human beings, having passed through all the travails of lower evolutionary processes, should insist upon the reward thereof, which is ‘Spiritual Birth' in this very life, and not rest content with a promise in the hereafter.Sinner and saint will appear to be waves, differing in size and magnitude, on the surface of the same ocean. A natural outcome of forces in the universe governed by time and causation. The saint has neither the pride of place, nor the sinner the stigma of eternal degradation. Nobody is utterly lost and nobody need despair. The knowledge that all have the same beginning and the same end, with life on earth a happy interlude, will go a long way in making the Brotherhood of Man a reality on earth.

Today's episode is a conversation with John Martin and Brodon discussing a teaching Brodon gave on being spiritually reborn. What is the Spiritual Birth? How do we hear God? How do we trust the Spirit? All of these are questions we ask and explore in today's episode.  For more information on Innercry Ministries and our gatherings, visit www.innercry.orgIf you would like to support our podcast and ministry, visit www.innercry.org/give

Audio Recording Sermon OutlineSpeaker: Rev. Scott StrickmanSermon Series: John 1-12: Come, See, Live!John 3:1-21 (ESV) 1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.' 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” 9 Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. 16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”Sermon OutlineIn love God does a spiritual work in us that enables us to see and live.1.

There is a difference between PHYSICAL birth and SPIRITUAL birth. Physical birth was the will and decision of others, but spiritual birth is your choice. There was a Jewish man named Nicodemus who didn't understand spiritual birth. Like so many people today, people are confused and curious about Jesus. The conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3 helps us to understand what it means to be “born again.” Have you been born again?

Midwife Elena Rosa shares with Michelle the history and benefits of Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy in this special replay episode. Together they discuss how each person's reproductive journey is their own, how the state of fight or flight affects the body, the connection between the heart and the uterus, deep healing, and following the lead of your heart.   "And just thinking about the grief and what we're told how we're supposed to be as women, what we're supposed to accept, what we're supposed to receive, what we're not allowed to stand up for, what we're not allowed to make boundaries for. You know, what we allow to happen to us because we feel like we're powerless. … But just processing what boundaries we're encouraged to have, but we're not encouraged to have. Like we're not allowed to speak up for ourselves. Like what we allow into our space, what is forced into our space. What is what we're allowed to grieve over. You know, there's so many things that we hold onto in our bodies."—Elena RosaAbout Elena Rosa:Elena is a practicing licensed midwife, an Advanced Arvigo Practitioner, and a retired licensed massage therapist based in Central Florida. As a woman of Puerto Rican descent who has lived throughout the Northeast and Southern regions of the US, Elena sees herself as a US citizen by birth, but a global citizen by responsibility.Elena feels there is no more profound challenge than the mastery of self. The pursuit of the limitless is one of personal growth and spirituality…cultivating self-care, self-awareness, and self-love. Elena had an interest in indigenous medicine since childhood. Elena has sought out personal mentors from North and South American traditions and Tibetan Buddhism. Having participated in countless prayer and meditation ceremonies and her own deep work has provided humility, depth, space for healing herself and others, and an ongoing practice of peacemaking.Most of all, she is the proud mother of a sweet girl who has taught her more about what her body and her heart are capable of than anyone she has ever met. Pregnancy, labor, and motherhood have brought no shortage of lessons in accepting all expected and unexpected challenges. What these experiences taught her is that she is an informed woman who knows her body, and she has all the information she needs to make the right decision for her and her child. This affirming gift is Elena's wish for every family she serves. Connect with Elena Rosa:Website:  https://mykindredmidwife.com/Tree Of Life Birth Center: https://www.tolbirth.com/Facebook:   Elena RosaResources:https://arvigotherapy.com/
