Ep. 223: Developing a Prayerful Family Planning Mentality, with Laura Ducote
Do you pray about your family planning intentions? What are the moments when you feel drawn to offer up prayer to God? Is it when you really hope you *aren't* pregnant? Or when you truly pray that you *are*? Or can prayer offer more to us than just an opportunity to put in a "special request"? In today's episode, fellow FCP Laura Ducote and Caitlin talk about the role of prayer and discernment in natural family planning and how formative it can be for you, your marriage, and your children. Developing a prayerful family planning mentality doesn't happen instantly, but we talk through some things you can do today to begin welcoming God into this area of your life.
GUEST BIO: Laura Ducote is a Family Nurse Practitioner with training in NaProTechnology and is currently a FertilityCare Practitioner at Woven Natural Fertility Care.
