Our Wild Birth Story, Hiding Reign's Face, Plans Onward + More
This is the most personal episode we’ve ever recorded. After days of labor, countless prayers, unexpected setbacks, and one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make, we finally met our son. What we thought would be one of the most carefully planned moments of our lives became a journey of surrender, reminding us that God is often doing His greatest work in the moments we never saw coming. For the first time, we’re sharing the complete story behind Reign’s arrival. From the emotional highs and unexpected twists to the miracle of finally hearing his first cry. We also open up about why we’ve chosen to keep his face off social media, how becoming parents has reshaped our perspective on faith, purpose, and legacy, and what we’re believing God for as we step into this brand-new season together. This is more than a birth story. It's a conversation about trusting God when nothing goes according to plan, finding peace in the unexpected, and discovering that His greatest miracles are often waiting on the other side of surrender. Whether you're preparing for parenthood, walking through a season of uncertainty, or simply believing God for what's next, this episode is a reminder that His plans are always greater than our own.
