Listen "Longing for Family: Wading Through Suffering, Childlessness, and Unmet Desires With Chelsea Sobolik"
Episode Synopsis
The "Know About Family Formation" series is highlighting the good of marriage and family. But what if you already know family is good, and you desire family, but for one reason or another, that desire remains unfulfilled?
Chelsea Sobolik understands what it is like to wrestle with that kind of grief. Author "Longing for Motherhood: Holding Onto Hope in the Midst of Childlessness," Chelsea joins the Know Why Podcast to share her story—as well as hope for those who may be walking through infertility, prolonged singleness, or other kinds of grief and suffering.
In this episode, Chelsea addresses topics including:
Why we shouldn't idolize marriage and motherhood
What stepping in and out of different family roles throughout life can look like
How churches can promote the goodness of family while supporting those grieving infertility and loss
How Jesus relates to and comforts us in the midst of embodied brokenness
How individuals can be an advocate, a mother figure, and a vital member of church and local communities in different seasons of life
And so much more.
Listen or share with someone you know who is longing for family.
