Faith Over Fear: The Christian Pregnancy & Birth Podcast

🎙️Ranked in the Top 5% of podcasts globally (via Listen Notes)

Hi there, I’m Natalie Portman! I’m a Christian birth doula, virtual birth coach, childbirth educator, wife, and mama—and I created this podcast just for you.

If you’re preparing for birth, navigating pregnancy, or adjusting to those early days of motherhood, you’re in the right place. On the podcast I share a mix of powerful Christian birth stories, Scripture-based encouragement, and practical tips to help you walk through this season with faith over fear.

Around here, I do things a little differently. While the world encourages you to control every detail and rely on your own strength, I’ll gently point you back to the freedom of surrender and the beauty of God’s design and purpose for birth. Because I believe birth isn’t about showcasing your strength—it’s about revealing the Lord's.

I’d love for you to subscribe so you never miss an episode. And if you’re looking for more support, grab my free Christian Mama Birth Prep Library at faithoverfearbirth.com. It’s packed with birth prep guides, faith-filled tools, and other resources to help you invite God into your birth space.

You don’t have to walk this path alone. Let’s journey together—with faith, not fear.
