walk into labor calm, confident & covered in prayer.
Faith > Fear Birth™ is the online birth course that pairs evidence-based education with Scripture, taught by a high-risk L&D nurse who has supported 1,000+ births. So when the first contraction hits, you feel peace instead of fear.

✨✨✨✨most birth content isn't helpful.
Hospital classes cover the logistics. Instagram and the internet cover the horror stories. And nobody is helping you prepare your heart, so you lie awake at 2 a.m. with a head full of what-ifs.
That's exactly why I created Faith > Fear Birth™.
It's a Christ-centered framework that helps you:
- Know your options without feeling confrontational or overwhelmed
- Use real tools in real time when labor gets intense
- Bring your partner in, so he knows how to actually support you
- Anchor in truth instead of panic when things shift
"I spent most of my pregnancy avoiding birth content because it all felt so fear-based. Finding a Christian content creator who truly supports birth has felt like such a blessing and gift."
– Pregnant Mamathis is what peace looks like
“The biggest thing I learned…was not letting fear control my labor.”– Ashley
She'd already given birth twice, but this birth felt completely different. After Faith > Fear Birth™, she realized how much fear had been influencing her previous birth decisions. Then her third labor happened FAST. She delivered in OB triage before they could even start an IV. But this time, she knew how she wanted to respond.
this is for you if:
Are you scared of the pain, the unknown, or losing control?
Or maybe you love Jesus and still feel tense every time you picture labor. You'll learn faith-aligned breathing, movement, and hands-on comfort tools, plus how to anchor in biblical truth through every contraction.
Calm my fears
You want to walk into labor prepared, prayed up, and not panicking when things shift
You love Jesus but still feel nervous about pain, the unknown, or losing control
"I decided to enroll in Faith > Fear Birth™ because my first birth was traumatic, and I wanted my second experience to be different... more prepared, more peaceful, and more aligned with my faith. This course gave me exactly what I was looking for. I finally feel equipped to walk into birth grounded in truth instead of fear."
– Second-time MamaWorried the hospital will pressure you into things you don't understand?
Inductions, monitors, epidurals, forceps, C-sections. You'll understand each one, so you can advocate for your values and walk away informed, not intimidated. No guilt. No pressure.
Make me confident
You want clear, evidence-based education without fear-based messaging
You want to understand your options without feeling confrontational or overwhelmed
“I’m in the hospital on day 2 of induction for gestational hypertension and your course was so helpful! Great breathing exercises and reminding myself that God designed my body to do this and I’m prepared 😊 it’s gone well so far, though long haha … I’m at peace waiting for things to ramp up more, but I’m contracting well and feel like I’ve been empowered and have had a say every step of the way. Used our BRAIN acronym plenty.”
Is your husband standing there unsure how to help?
This course is built for the two of you. He'll learn how to support you with touch, trust, and truth, with a Birth Partner Guide that equips him spiritually and practically.
Sounds good!
You want your partner to know how to actually support you, not just stand there
You want to feel prepared for any birth (unmedicated, epidural, induction, or c-section)
“My husband told me he was genuinely glad we went through this birth course. He felt more confident, involved, and prepared to support me during labor. That alone made the course worth it.”
hi, i'm lauren.
Labor & Delivery Nurse, IBCLC, & Christian Mama
For the past 10 years, I've cared for women through high-risk pregnancies, inductions, unmedicated births, epidurals, planned and emergency C-sections, and many of the unexpected turns birth can take.
Again and again, I watched women arrive at the hospital overwhelmed, because no one had prepared them with clear, evidence-based education they could trust.
I created Faith > Fear Birth™ because Christian moms shouldn't have to choose between biblical encouragement and practical birth preparation. You deserve both.
My goal is simple: to help you walk into birth informed, supported, and anchored in Christ, whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, an epidural, an induction, or a C-section.
“Everything that we learned during the course just helped us shape our minds and hearts around what God says about birth and the whole process. I think without doing a course like this, I would’ve been very nervous and fearful, but I was very much at peace.”
“I work in healthcare, so I understand how to advocate for yourself, but because I’ve never been in labor before I had no idea how I would do that, or what my state of mind would be in the moment.”
“My birth did not go as planned, and I think having the reminders of ‘you can have a plan but things don’t always go to plan and if so, here’s how you ask questions, stay informed with your care team, move forward…’ throughout the course really helped put that in my brain.”
“I would 100% recommend the course because you don’t know what you don’t know and I think it’s incredibly important to have your heart and mind focused on what Jesus says going into birth.”
"Lauren, this course was amazing. I cried telling my husband about it right after. You could truly feel the Spirit working in and through you, even virtually. You've created something so beautiful for Christian women, and I'm sharing it with everyone I know."

what moms are saying
“No matter the outcome. No matter what that day and labor plan looks like… we can head with faith over fear into our birthing stories, whatever they look like, with God taking that lead.”
“I loved being educated and being equipped with all the tools you need in hand, from the Bible verse cards for in the middle of labor when you’re trying to breathe and think, as well as just being prepared of how to advocate for yourself or have your husband or loved one advocate for you.”
“I loved having the prayer cards as well as the breath as prayer book recommended from Lauren and having that in my worship playlist on repeat, on loop in the middle of an extra long labor that had some complications that I didn’t plan for. But I also appreciated the BRAIN acronym and just being equipped with information to make the best decisions we could in the moment for mom and for baby.”
"The content and overall quality of this course is fantastic. The shorter videos made it so easy to watch when I had time, and the handouts were incredibly well done."
– Course Mama"I am so thankful for Lauren's support throughout my entire pregnancy. We went back and watched more of the course in the weeks leading up to birth and absolutely loved it. It made such a difference in how prepared and confident we felt."
– First-time Mama"I used Lauren's labor Spotify playlist throughout my entire birth, and it was an amazing experience. The music helped ground me, refocus during contractions, and stay present. Out of all three of my births, this one was by far the most meaningful and peaceful."
– Mama of three"I was able to use so much of the practical knowledge from this course, along with the spiritual perspective, to help guide our decisions during birth. Birth is incredibly spiritual, and I felt that deeply throughout the entire experience."
