Have you ever prayed a prayer that felt good and right… and yet, heaven seemed silent? Maybe you’ve believed for something deeply—something holy—and it still hasn’t come to pass. And you’re left wondering what God is doing… or if He sees you at all.
This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had a tender and honest conversation with Heather LaVigne about her book Barren. Together, we talked about what it means to trust God in seasons that don’t look the way we hoped—especially when the longing is deep and the waiting feels heavy.
Heather shares from her own story of infertility and unmet expectations, but what she offers is something so much greater than answers—she offers perspective. A reminder that even in seasons that feel empty, God is not absent. He is present, working, and writing a story we may not yet understand.
If you are walking through a season of waiting…
If your prayers feel unanswered…
If your heart feels tender from hope deferred…
This conversation is for you. You can listen to the episode here.
We also talk about a beautiful opportunity for couples navigating childlessness or infertility—a Legacy Place conference designed to offer support, encouragement, and community. If that resonates with you or someone you love, you’ll find more details in the show notes.
Friend, I want to gently remind you today:
Your story is not forgotten.
Your prayers are not wasted.
And your life is not barren in God’s hands.
Even here, He is bringing forth something meaningful.
I’m praying this conversation meets you right where you are and reminds you that you are deeply seen, known, and loved.
With love,
Rachael

Welcome to the Love Offering Podcast. I’m your host, Rachel Adams, author of Everyday Prayers for Love, learning to love God, others, and even yourself. Each week, we dive into meaningful conversations about how to live out the greatest commandment, living God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Whether through inspiring stories, practical wisdom, or Biblical truth, my hope is to encourage you to love boldly, live faithfully, and reflect God’s love in your everyday life.
Today, I’m honored to welcome Heather Levine to the show. Heather is a Christ follower, nurse practitioner, author, and speaker with a heart for families walking through infertility and pregnancy loss. After more than a decade of infertility, multiple pregnancies, and heartbreaking losses, Heather encountered God in a profound way through the stories of the women in the Bible who also experienced infertility and deep longing. Through those stories, she discovered that her own story was not forgotten by God, but was being lovingly woven into his greater story of redemption.
Heather’s new book is Barren, a shared journey of infertility, loss, and faith. In it, she weaves together the stories of women in scripture who wrestled with infertility, grief, and faith alongside her own deeply personal journey. The book serves not only women who are waiting and grieving, but also the friends, mothers, sisters, and church communities who long to support them well. Through honesty, lament, and hope, Heather creates space for women to be seen, to bring their pain before the Lord, and to remember that they are never forgotten by Him. Well, hello Heather, and welcome to the Love Offering Podcast. I’m so happy to have you.
Heather LaVigne (01:31.691)
Thank you so much for having me. It is such an honor to be here, Rachael.
Rachael Adams (01:36.27)
So you and I met in person. We were at a conference, and I’m not just telling you this. It was you, me, and another guest that I’ve had on the show, Cara Shine. And so if you’ve not listened to Kara’s episode, you need to go listen to that. But we just had this divine appointment in the hallway, and it was, you all were my favorite encounters of that entire conference, truly. And so I’m just, and we talked about this book. We talked about your story and everything. And I just love seeing that dream come to fruition, getting to talk to you, and sharing your story with everybody listening today.
Heather LaVigne (02:10.803)
You’re so kind. mean, it’s really, you know, a God thing that we had that I call a magnetic moment where you’re just like in a space with somebody you’re like, the Lord is moving here, and I’m not sure what’s happening, but we should all pray. Bathroom, who knows, right? But I think many of us have had that moment, and you just kind of lean in, right?
Rachael Adams (02:31.266)
Yeah. Yeah. And I love, there’s such hopeful expectation in that, that you have no idea where you are going to be when you’re going to have one of those encounters, but to truly start to see other people and have that expectation that God, what are you going to do with this encounter with this person? Because, if we’re open to it, there probably is going to be a divine appointment all the time, throughout every single day of our lives.
Heather LaVigne (02:55.701)
Right, yeah, we just have to be sensitive to it, right?
Rachael Adams (02:58.37)
Yeah. Well, today is a little bit of a tough conversation, but a hopeful one too. But I’d love for you just to share the story of your own infertility and losses. We kind of begin setting the stage for this new book.
Heather LaVigne (03:14.497)
Sure, sure. So I’ll keep it as brief as I can because it is one of those long journeys that people experience with just a boatload of suffering and grief, unfortunately. But I truly believe the Lord brought me through that for just this moment, right? To serve his women as they go through similar journeys. So we had about a 10-year wrestle with both primary infertility, so not being able to have a baby for up to four years. And then we had a couple who actually had my first pregnancy, which was a high-risk pregnancy. I had twins. And then we went through another season of secondary infertility. And through the process of that, we discovered I had endometriosis, which was the cause of all the troubles that we were having. But in that season of secondary infertility, I started losing babies, both through the help of science, and some naturally and unexpectedly. So having multiple miscarriages and really having to walk out my theology in really deep suffering and really discovering God in very different ways and walking in the dark doing that, right? And then after a long season of loss and breaks and just trying to seek the Lord’s will and then continuing to, I had a spontaneous pregnancy that I did not expect, and also lost that baby. opted to go back to IVF. We felt like the Lord was leading us for one more season of possible fruitfulness. And on our last embryo, we had my daughter, Violet. And yeah, that should be the end, right? But still in the same season, right, of still dealing with long-term disease, endometriosis. And really, I think on this side of heaven, we’re always bereaved parents, right? Any woman that you talk to who has lost a pregnancy, has lost a child, does not forget. We are always bereaved parents on this side of heaven until we get to see our little ones when we meet the Lord. So, yeah.
Rachael Adams (05:21.102)
Yeah, well, I can’t wait to continue today’s conversation. But we’re going to take a brief break to hear a word from today’s sponsor. And when we come back, we’ll talk about supporting women through infertility and how we can walk alongside those experiencing deep loss.
Welcome back. talking with Heather Levine about her book, Baron, a shared journey of infertility, loss, and faith. And in it, you share that it was through studying the stories of women in the Bible who also experienced infertility that your heart really began to heal. There are so many examples in scripture of Baron women. Was there maybe a specific story that really ministered to you?
Heather LaVigne (06:02.441)
Yeah, I mean, in all honesty, it started out studying in Genesis. And so I was actually pregnant with my daughter, Violet. Nobody knew at that point that it was still in the very early stages, and I was nervous. But I’m just sitting here and sitting for the Lord, my Bible open. And I’m like, she is me. I am Sarah. So many moments of her life. And we know the usual ones, right? We know we know Sarah. We know Rachel. We know Hannah. But there are some unusual ones, too, that you might not find in the pages of your Bible without doing a deeper dive. And that’s really Samson’s mother. Minoa’s wife is how she’s referred to, the Shunammite woman. And Elizabeth is one, I think, who is a little bit better known, but Ruth is not. Ruth certainly looks to be that she was infertile. I just was just captured by these women’s lives because even though they’re ancient stories, There are real stories for us that we struggle with, whether you’re dealing with infertility or whether you’re just, not just, but whether you’re in a barren season, that I think we as Christ followers, we have the same themes in our lives as we’re really walking through the valley.
Rachael Adams (07:11.468)
Yeah. And this may sound like a strange question, but maybe somebody is listening. That’s like, what does Baron even mean? Like, that’s not a word that we use frequently.
Heather LaVigne (07:24.661)
Yeah, that’s a great point. For utility’s sake, of course, if you’re talking about fertility, we’re talking about that you’re infertile, right? Typically, barrenness in the Bible was attributed to women, although we know in modern times, there can be causes that are associated with men. But, like, let’s talk about it in a general sense: what does this mean as a Christ follower? What does it mean to be in a barren season? So barren is the thought of the desert, right? It’s dry. Is the sun beating on you? There is not a drop of water to be found. And it feels very alone. It feels very isolating. It feels sometimes really quiet. And so for us, know, for somebody in a barren season, maybe that looks like a dream that hasn’t really completely unfolded. Maybe it looks like a more commonly unanswered prayer for a long period of time. Maybe it looks like being overseen, whether that’s overlooked, whether that’s in your job, whether that’s in your place of work, or whether that’s at home. Any of those things, losing somebody and just going through a prolonged season of longing, but not feeling like you’re seen or heard, those are all barren seasons.
Rachael Adams (08:39.894)
Yeah. Yeah. And so I think, and that’s why I wanted you to answer that question, because I think we can all say we have been in a barren season, and maybe somebody is in a barren season, right now. And you mentioned that in those seasons, it can feel really isolating even within our church community. So why do you think that infertility and pregnancy loss are sometimes difficult for people to talk about?
Heather LaVigne (09:07.851)
Well, I think just the nature of it, think as we kind of go on in the years, it gets better. I think it’s not as bad as it was, but there’s always been sort of a shameful understanding. And unfortunately, even though I think we have really progressed as a society, there’s still that tension, like, “I shouldn’t ask about this.” This is very personal to you. This is very sensitive information. And I think also it’s something that’s so visible. Some things in our lives are really visible, and this one is not. This is really visible. We can probably tell, you can probably look at a couple and be like, it’s been a long time. It seems like they should have children by now. We ask questions that are kind of cringey a lot. We ask things like, ” How many kids do you have in your family? Will you have kids? And I think it just makes it much more visible and feels like a heavier weight of shame.
Rachael Adams (10:08.428)
Yeah. And so, going back to maybe somebody that is listening has not experienced what you have experienced, but I think that we probably know someone who has. So, for friends, family members, or church leaders who want to support a woman walking through infertility or miscarriage, what are some ways that we can love and care for her? Well,
Heather LaVigne (10:29.759)
Yeah, I love talking about this because I think all of us have been in a space where we’re trying to support somebody, and you’re just like, I’ve never been in a place like that. don’t know what to do. I don’t want to say the wrong thing. Don’t let me say the wrong thing. Just like I talked about. I think first and foremost, especially for the church and anybody who loves this family, pray for them. Please pray for them. Please intercede for them. That is, I heard on the radio that a pastor said that the first thing he does when he finds out there is a family in his church body struggling is to pray for them right there in that moment. Because we don’t know where the Lord is on his timeline. We see that throughout the Bible. We can see that with Rebecca. Isaac prayed for her. She got pregnant with twins. We can see that with Hannah. Even though Eli’s prayer for her was kind of like the ” easy button, he just says, whatever you ask for, may the Lord give it to her. She changed. And it wasn’t even pregnancy, Rachel, in that moment. It was her countenance that changed. She needed somebody to pray the peace that passes understanding into her. She needed somebody to pray for an anchor of hope. Right. And so, when we’re praying, I don’t want to make the mistake of saying, “If you pray, you’re going to get a baby.” A lot of us just honestly need to be seen, need to be really well loved, and need to experience hope in a really supernatural way. And in praying for somebody in that moment, they can really receive that from you and really, honestly, from the Lord. So the first thing is to pray. Second thing would be don’t just ask, especially when we get into like really deep grief. I know we’re just tempted to say, ” How can I help? What can I do? Right. And I’m sure we’ve all heard this, but like, let’s actually just do it. What can I do for you? You know, bring the coffee, drop off the groceries, tell your friend, hey, I’m going to come by tomorrow, and I’m going to pick up your to-do list, and I’ll take all your Amazon returns back, and I’ll go to the post office for you and I’ll get that kindergarten gift that you need to get. Just tell them that you’re going to actually show up and do it. That is everything because, depending on where they’re at in their journey, whether there are medical appointments, things like that, there’s just not enough time in the day to get some of those things done. So that can be incredibly helpful. a text, right? Send a long handwritten note. Audio text is pretty awesome right now. And so you can just record yourself. You’re just sending a really loving message to your friend via audio. You can mail a book. All of those things were honestly done for me during my season. The third thing I would say is presence. This one’s hard. This one’s really hard because I kind of want to alert your audience that this family, this woman, is really gonna be going through the wringer. This is cyclical grief, especially if they’re going through treatments or anything like that. And so it kind of gets really tense and like, how do I approach this? It seems like she doesn’t want to be approached. It seems like they have it together. And depending on the personality and who you are in that relationship, it’s really gonna designate it. How much are you able to enter? But if I could encourage, if you are somebody that is an accountability partner, that is a best friend, that is a mother-in-law, a friend, a cousin, very close, you can go from something as simple as saying, I’m thinking about you and I know what you’re going through, but I would encourage you to ask the hard questions. When we’re in the valley, we need to be asked the hard questions because it’s most often there that we wrestle deeply with who God is, especially when we are missing out on the desires of our hearts and feel like God is incredibly silent. We are so prone to wonder, I know I am. And so, really not being afraid to ask the question, “You okay?” And ask it again, even after she says I am or I’m fine, because I guarantee there’s something in there that probably needs to be brought out in a safe space if she feels safe with you. Don’t be burdened by like, well, I don’t know what this is like. I’ve never walked through this before. I’m single. I don’t know what to do with my friend. I had a dear friend who went to swim lessons for me. My sons were in swim lessons. They’re twins. So they were in the water. I couldn’t be in the water because I just had surgery.
Heather LaVigne (14:47.167)
She’s single, she got in the water with them, she did swim lessons with them in the middle of January in Michigan. You don’t need to have walked this journey to walk alongside. So don’t be afraid to be the friend who kind of pushes in, leans in, isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions, and is there. And then I think if I can give just one more, it’s just maybe just providing a space, right, in that presence. So just being with her. If we think about Job’s friends, they kind of said the bad thing. They sat with him. They sat with him, right? And so maybe that looks like sitting with her. Maybe that looks like saying, ” Hey, I’d like to go to that appointment with you to the lab to get your blood work done. If that’s okay, I can drive you. Could I sit with you? For me, that was a friend’s backyard in Chicago. We had our little hammock set up, and we would just lie in there; she would just sit there and listen, and I would sometimes verbally process, and then I would fall asleep. And she would just provide a space for me to feel safe, to feel loved, and feel like I could be seen and heard. So those are my, I think I gave you three or four there that I would recommend for anybody that is really trying to figure out how to best walk alongside.
Rachael Adams (16:02.222)
Those are great recommendations. And really, if I’m being honest, not hard. We can all do every one of those things. Very doable. You know, something else in this journey, I imagine, is difficult as a couple. You know, let’s talk about a marriage. So, what wisdom would you share with couples navigating infertility or loss together?
Heather LaVigne (16:23.155)
Yeah, it’s tough. And again, if you are really getting into deeper seasons of whether that be just really intense emotions, intense disagreements, because that will absolutely happen, or if you are in intense treatments or really dealing with getting into the weeds of what does it look like to fill out adoption papers or things like that, I highly recommend a counselor. I highly recommend a Christian counselor to walk alongside you. This is by far the hardest thing that your marriage will ever go through. I have friends of mine who do a lot of work with couples, and we found that they found that at the root of most divorces is loss, miscarriage, or infertility. Many times, once we do the digging under all the emotional angst and troubles, we find the root of a loss or of infertility at the bottom. think it’s like 75%. Don’t quote me on that. And so what I can advocate for you is you’ve got to use every tool at your disposal to keep the Lord at the center of your marriage. And sometimes that means using professional help. That’s something that we certainly had to do at points in our marriage. And then praying together. Again, looking at our biblical stories. Isaac prayed for Rebecca. He interceded for her and allowed that to happen. And sometimes in your walk with the Lord as a couple, you might not feel like you can pray anymore. Let someone else pray over you. Let someone else do the work. Because again, going back to, we never know when heaven’s going to open up. And the Lord truly wants to give you peace. He truly wants to give you hope. He truly wants to give you his love. And so allowing somebody else to do that for you when you just feel like you’re at the end of your rope and you don’t have anything left.
Rachael Adams (18:18.874)
I can’t wait to continue today’s conversation. We’re going to take another brief break to hear a word from today’s sponsor. And when we come back, we’ll talk about finding hope and learning to walk and enjoy even when life feels incredibly heavy.
Welcome back. talking with Heather Levine about her book, Baron, a shared journey of infertility, loss, and faith. And Heather, one of the beautiful threads in your story is the account of the woman who touched Jesus’s robe and was healed. So how did that passage become so meaningful to you personally?
Heather LaVigne (18:49.791)
Yeah, this was why I’m here, right? Like her story, even though it’s not in my book, is something that emulates exactly why I wrote the book. So I’m that woman, right? We think about that woman. She was bleeding. She clearly had an underlying disorder that kept her from living a regular life. Her quality of life was completely in the dust. She had nothing left to give. She had visited every doctor. She had tried every medical option available to her, but it was unsuccessful. And so she said, I’ve got to go to him. He’s the only one who can heal me. Right. And I think really when we’re fumbling in the dark, when we are feeling like our prayers are answered, when we are feeling like we’re not seen, we’re overlooked, we are seen by the Lord, and we start really honestly mischaracterizing him, we start thinking things about him. We’ve got to actually turn towards him because where else, right? Where else will I go? As Peter said, he’s the only one who can truly give healing, and she knew it. And so she went to him, and whatever happened, she stumbled over somebody, and she grabbed his robe. And in that moment, she was healed, and he knew it. And I think the beauty in this, and I think this is the beauty in this, for any person that has a story to tell, is that Jesus could have said, Okay, like I healed somebody. He didn’t make everybody that he healed tell their story. He went out of his way to find her, to say, you somebody touched me. And of course, the disciples are all like, come on, man, like everybody’s bumping into you. But he went out of his way to find her, and he didn’t just say, ” Okay, be healed, walk off. He said, what happened to you? Who touched me? He made her tell her story because she could have moved on and healed without telling anybody. But it was in telling that she affected every single person in that crowd that was there, and she got to share her miracle, which was powerful healing for her heart, but also everybody else around her got to see as well. And so my endpoint in this is we all have a story to tell. We all have a story of healing where the Lord has powerfully moved in us, and we should be sharing it because we don’t know who needs to hear it.
Rachael Adams (21:06.478)
Yes. You know, that’s a, I’ve read that story before, but that’s a different take on it. And so I’m thankful for that. I’m just mindful today for the person listening who feels maybe forgotten and unseen or weary from waiting. What words of encouragement would you offer her today?
Heather LaVigne (21:22.783)
Yeah. So I love the story of Hannah because I think she’s someone we all know, and there’s a lot of relatability in it. So we look at her, right? We know that she went to the temple with her husband, Alkanah, and then the other wife, Penana. And she was provoked, right? Every year, she was provoked by Penana. Penana likely insulted her, mocked her because she was barren. And while we might not have people mocking us and teasing us, I think the world provokes us. I talk about this in my book. We might be in a barren season, and life just keeps on. And like you just keep getting hit by the world, and you’re like, can the world please stop for a second because I’m trying to carry this burden, right? And what does Hannah do in that moment? She goes to the Lord.
We see her go and start pouring out her soul to the Lord. And so we’ve got to limit. I think this is something that we, I myself, did not do well in the beginning, but we’ve got to really be honest with the Lord about what we’re wrestling with. And really under that, we’re going to find a question or really the devil and the doubt sitting on our shoulders saying, ” Is the Lord really good? Is he really all-powerful?
Is he really in control of my circumstances? And we see her sort of do that. And unfortunately, in that moment, Hannah gets misunderstood by Eli, who’s like, ” Lay off the wine lady. And she’s like, ” No, I’m pouring out my soul to the Lord. And then she allows him to pray over her. That’s kind of what we talked about before. She allows somebody else to come into her circumstances, whatever his motivation for praying over her. So, going to the Lord, letting somebody else pray over you.
And then she goes to worship, right? It’s so beautiful. Then she goes to worship. And so whatever that is for you, if you’re in that barren season, I hope it’s your church. I hope it’s your church body, but I certainly understand in moments, and different church hurts and things like that, it may not be. Maybe we should go to creation. Maybe it’s like Abraham did, and we go out, and we look at the stars, and we say, what you promised in me is true. And it’s going to happen because I can look to the stars. And I know that that’s the same sky that Abraham looked at when God was making his promises for a son to Abraham. So absolutely find your place in creation and then submit, right? We see the beauty in Hannah after she’s given this great gift of a son. She gives him back to the Lord for service. And so, again, submitting our lives back under the Lord, whether we’re still in that barren season or whether we’ve come out of it, but really looking back to see Wow, you’ve done this in my life. And now I give my life back into dependence on you. And so something beautiful that I find with Hannah is that she says, ” You Lord are worth to me more than 10 sons. Now here’s my only son. Right. And so do bring that right. Bring that gift back to the Lord. Don’t let those barren seasons go by without looking back to say he did that. He did that in my life.
Rachael Adams (24:28.066)
It makes me so teary, so beautiful, Heather. So tell us, is there a biblical concept of love that you think applies to this topic today?
Heather LaVigne (24:38.315)
There’s so much biblical love in this. And it’s kind of, I think when we think about it from the perspective of God, I think especially as somebody struggling, we’re so tempted to say, he doesn’t love me. Clearly, he doesn’t love me because he’s not giving me what I’m asking for. And this is a good desire. This is something that, whatever we might be asking for, it would be something good.
And he’s giving me much smaller things. Why wouldn’t he give me this? And I really think, to lean into it, if we look throughout the Bible, when we see a huge transformation happening, it always starts this way: we have a need, we have to go to him, and we have to trust, right? If we look at the rootedness of barrenness, we look at Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Jacob, and Rachel, right?
This is the beginning of God’s blessed people. He loved them, and it was rooted in barrenness. God chose to grow their hearts towards him before he grew their families. And so in that season, just really thinking about his love for us is really growing our hearts towards him first. And it is not meant to be a curse. He is somebody who walks with us. He’s a man of sorrows. He’s been through suffering. So just making sure that we see him as a God of love, knowing that we are his beloved, and standing in that.
Rachael Adams (26:08.59)
Absolutely. Well, tell us something you are loving right now.
Heather LaVigne (26:13.811)
Okay, this is going to be funny. And this is going to go for your moms of younger kids. So my daughter, she is four years old, and she has just learned how to unbuckle her car seat. It’s both a love and a hate, right? Because I have literally saved, think, probably an hour each day of buckling, unbuckling, going around the car, going back around the car, but I also have to deal with the fact that she can now climb all over my car like a little raccoon and get any snacks or any DVDs that she wants out at any time.
Rachael Adams (26:51.297)
Yeah. Oh, that’s funny. Now I remember those days, my brother actually, he just had a new baby. And so now my kids are 17 and 15, and I’m like getting to relive all those sweet little moments vicariously through my brother. There’s nothing better. Like it can be hard, but it’s so, so beautiful.
Rachael Adams (27:12.362)
Yeah, well, I know I want to stay connected with you. I’m sure listeners are going to want to. They’re going to want to purchase a copy of this book. So tell us how we can best do that.
Heather LaVigne (27:21.503)
Yeah, so it should be available on Amazon and anywhere you can buy a book. It will be released at the end of March. Also, if you visit my website, you can get updates. That’s at HeatherLeVineAuthor.com. So I know you have an upcoming conference too. So if anybody’s walking through a season of fairness, it could be helpful. Do you want to tell everybody about that?
Heather LaVigne (00:08.98)
Yeah, so this conference is a Legacy Place-inspired couples conference. Legacy Place is a non-profit out in Texas. BR and Jason are a couple who have experienced childlessness. They host couples at their retreat center in Texas, and they’ve also traveled across the United States, now hosting conferences in different locations. Grand Rapids, my hometown, happens to be a location, and so I’m helping, I’m speaking at their conference, helping them co-host the conference, so to speak. But they also have locations in Nashville and Dallas, Texas, that are coming out throughout the year. So if you look at the link and hopefully with the podcast, you can click and find out where those conferences are, and we would love, love, love, love for you guys to attend.
Rachael Adams (00:57.245)
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. We will include that in the show notes as well.
Heather LaVigne (01:00.952)
Thank you so much, Rachael.
Rachael Adams (27:36.974)
We’ll include that in the show notes. Could you pray for us as we close today?
Heather LaVigne (27:43.792)
Absolutely. Father God, we just come before you, and we recognize that you are a good, good God. We recognize that you are all-powerful, and we recognize, Lord, that you are sovereign even in seasons when it feels like you’re silent. Lord, I pray for anybody who might be listening that is going through a barren season that they would just feel your peace that passes understanding, that you would anchor them in your hope that you give Lord that they would feel surrounded deeply by your love and that God you would just continue to seek them out and have them known that they are loved deeply by you. We know that Lord and God, I just thank you for this time. I just pray your blessing over it. I pray your blessing over Rachel in this ministry, Lord. I just pray for your wisdom and discernment for her. And Lord Jesus, we just give you the rest of this day, and we thank you for it. In your name we pray. Amen.
Rachael Adams (28:53.482)
