Body of episode:
-
Our daily bread–That is where I first heard your voice. Can you tell them thank you! I’ve been reading and now listening to ODB since my early teens. I’m sure they hear that a lot.
-
Infertility journey– Can you tell us a little about you and your wife’s infertility journey, whatever you are comfortable with telling us?
-
Praying Through Infertility–that’s how we met. How did you gather everyone, how did you choose? Was it 37 contributors total? Do you feel that your previous books led to Praying Through Infertility? At least most of the books? I say most because Open House is about writing if I’m correct?
The author of eight books, including Reflect with Sheridan, The Making of Us: Who We Can Become When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned, Resurrection Year: Turning Broken Dreams into New Beginnings, and the award-winning Unseen Footprints. His writing has been featured in various publications…

Dear Civilla,
Episode 160 was wonderful especially hearing from a man speaking out about infertility.
In Africa, infertility is a woman alone topic and issue and that is why a good number of women have fallen prey to lies of some people who claim to have solutions. Most times, it may be the man who has an issue but because of the man ego, they push all blaim to the women thereby luring them I to making a lot of mistakes.
This is one of the reasons I decided to help the out of shame, letting know that there is life beyond motherhood.
Women in Africa have faced humiliation and exclusion from family, friends etc because of Childlessness.
Thank you so much for your podcasts.
