A Letter to the Woman Wondering How to Bear Fruit If She's Infertile // Mary Bruno
When I was experiencing secondary infertility after losing our son to miscarriage, there was one line at every Catholic wedding that would leave me feeling empty and broken: “Be fruitful and multiply.”
It felt like a knife twisting in my heart, and it left me wondering if my infertility meant that my marriage couldn’t be fruitful.
If you’ve felt the sting that comes with hearing those words as a woman experiencing infertility, you’ll love this conversation that I had with Mary Bruno about why God allows infertility in some of our stories, but still calls us to bear fruit that will remain.
If you’re desiring to learn more about why God is allowing infertility in your life and where he is calling you to be fruitful, this letter is for you.
Topics we talked about in this episode:
Why being fruitful has to do with so much more than the children we can or cannot have
How to resist the temptation to compare our stories and fruits to everyone around us
Navigating conversations with friends and family about your infertility
Discerning where and how the Lord is calling you and your marriage to be fruitful.
