Episode notes
Channel Infertility Toward Church Parenting Roles
- Infertile couples should grieve and submit but remain active in the church's family life through mentoring, youth work, fostering, or adoption.
- Alex Kocman notes churches can provide fulfillment by integrating such couples into parenting roles in the body.
Four-Step Submission For Infertility Trials
- Process infertility as a trial: affirm God's sovereignty, justify His ways, approve His actions, then cling to Him in faith.
- Joel Beeke recommends prayerful submission and also considering fostering or adopting many parentless children.
Raise Missionaries From The Local Church
- Pastors should identify and disciple potential missionaries, applying biblical qualifications and laying hands as in Acts 13.
- David Schrock advises practical steps: preach missions, spot gifts, affirm character, and prepare senders and budget support.
