  • We seriously will never have enough words to truly thank you for what you have done for us in the past week, what you will continue to do throughout the next week before our ultrasound, and next 4 months before our baby boy is here. Every prayer is felt, and so so so appreciated. Every prayer you pray over our baby boy is a part of this miracle, just so you know. Keep praying, friends. But we BELIEVE the victory is already here.
    We hope this video encourages your faith, and makes you believe in the power of prayer. I can't wait to update you on what they see (or don't see) on the Ultrasound October 9th.

    I was born with spina bifida and I’m not going to lie that I have some challenges, but I’m happy and healthy! There are so many levels of SB and a child with SB can live a long and happy life! I will pray for you and pray to give you and your baby strength to get through this. I live in Minnesota and there’s an amazing doctor that specializes in SB. If u r even near MN I recommend him!

      Also, if he isn’t healed, doesn’t mean the surgery won’t work and he won’t be okay then. A disability isn’t the worst thing and god will undoubtedly use this baby for good.

      Regardless, they have the right attitude and frame of mind to be given such news .... as a mother myself, seeing her faith give her strength through this difficult time is HUGE. And her entire message if you were listening.... she says... she knows this baby is a GIFT from God, walking, not walking, whatever the case may be. But way to crush someone’s spirits when she simply has an amazing attitude about it. She can wallow and complain, but instead she is showcasing the silver lining in her faith and in her beliefs. Why can’t we praise people and support instead of negatively talk about what might/might not happen. I just don’t understand the negativity and why it’s so necessary. I get these are everyone’s opinions, like myself included, but cut this girl a break. Religion aside, can’t we all agree she has atleast a smile on her face given the news she just received. That is amazing and her positivity will reflect on to others!

God makes everyone in HIS image as he intends them to be. To insist that he change that image is an insult to God and his will. You cannot pick and choose when to honor God’s will based off of what YOU want to happen.

    We received the same devastating news at our 20 week anatomy scan. We had to wait all weekend to meet with the high risk doctor for the confirmation. People all over the country and in our community prayed for us relentlessly that our baby boy would be healed. He was not and our worst fears were confirmed. We also prayed relentlessly that we would be approved for fetal surgery and that our baby boy would only have a small scar when he was born with minimal spina bifida symptoms. We were approved for fetal surgery and had the surgery, only to discover that after surgery our babys incision had busted back open at some point in my womb requiring him to have a second back surgery when he was born and a shunt placed day 4 of his life. He also cant move his legs very well. God is still good and faithful despite these earthly trials. We exist to give God glory and point people back to him and I know that God has received so much glory through my son's journey. Prayer is so powerful and we always pray expectantly, but we are also mindful that God may not choose to answer our prayers the way we want him to. I am praying that God heals your baby because we know that he is the ultimate healer and miracle worker, but just know that if he doesnt, he has a bigger plan! Spina bifida babies are such a blessing and I wouldn't have my son any other way! This verse helped me and my husband through our difficult journey:
    His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

We are his children and he feels our pain the same way we feel our own pain. It hurts him when we are in pain or experiencing trauma.

However, when we received the initial “something looks off” diagnosis all of our Christian community assured us of his healing and that God would handle it.
      We’ve been blessed. My son is a miracle. But it doesn’t work the way everyone is leading them to believe, and it’s going to hurt their hearts more in the long end. I’ll be praying for peace when they go for evaluations. It’s gonna be a tough day.

    As both a mother and someone who has worked very closely with children and adults with disabilities, I find this so off putting. As parents of course we want our children to be perfect and struggle little, but perfect is different for everyone. Every single human is a miracle, whether they are "perfect" by societies standards or perfect in their own unique way. So in a week, when the diagnosis shows nothing has changed bc spina bifida forms in the first month of pregnancy, what will you say then after this video? Is your child less perfect then? If he doesnt get "this victory of healing", is he a failure now and less than? I say absolutely not but your video portrays that he would be. It's a very negative message to put out onto your platform that any disabled child out there didnt get enough prayers, faith, healing, or love. That's ridiculous. And as a raised catholic, it's always been my biggest struggle with religion. As a nurse and someone who sees miracles, but also plain old science and human nature happen, you cant call a healing a miracle and someone not healed less than. You know how many parents have prayed just as hard but their babies are with Jesus now? Were their kids not miracles or worthy?!
    You can have all the faith you want, but proclaiming a victory without the evidence and talking as if only a victory of healing will make this child perfect is just beyond sad for the child. I also understand the stages of grief and I honestly feel the denial stage is happening. I will pray for YOU BOTH that your faith will allow you to see this child as perfect regardless of how he comes into this world and I will pray for your son that he never feel is a failure or unworthy of gods love. And that he never sees this video bc if he born with SB, this video will destroy him.

    Iv'e been anointed with oil, and felt the same intense heat you are talking about, and I've been healed. I believe it to be the Holy Spirit working. I took an antibiotic in 2010 called Cipro, that caused multiple spontaneous tendon and ligament ruptures. I had 23 surgeries following to repair damage to my joints and spine. I was given several miracles and countless blessings. The ruptures were happening every few weeks and I was anointed with oil at my church by two ministers. I can't even remember what they said during the anointing because I personally was praying so hard. I felt the Holy Spirit there with us. When it was over I thanked God for blessing me. I didn't know what He'd done yet. The next day my 8 year old son told me he's had a dream overnight, that God spoke to him. God told him, I'm going to heal your mom, but you will have to be patient. It will take a long time." After that he saw me hiking and fishing and having a snowball fight with him. From that day on, the spontaneous tearing and ruptures stopped. That was 7 years ago. I also was told by both ministers, that they'd never felt the presence of the Holy Spirit so strong as they had felt it during that anointing. It was so amazing that we all were blessed with that experience. I have still had to endure the damage that had already been done, but God stopped the progression that day. I've been able to do light hiking since then, and even swim and snorkel. Sometimes God doesn't work exactly like we picture, but He is a God of miracles and He is able to do exceeding abundantly more than we can fathom. I will keep praying for your precious baby boy. I know there is a miracle in this. Keep sharing your blessings. We must never stop praising God. He is always only good.

    Maybe God’s miracle is giving you a perfect son who happens to have Spina Bifida. One day your son may watch these videos and he’s going to see that you were praying for him to be different. Maybe your prayers shouldn’t be for healing but for the strength and wisdom to be at peace with Spina Bifida, which will likely be such a small part of his life compared to everything he will bring into the world.
    As parents, we want the journey in life for our child/children to be with as few bumps as possible. We don’t want to see them struggle. We wish we could feel their pain instead of them. We also need to accept them completely.

On my mom's 60th birthday my sister called me. She said the basby had a cleft lip & palate. The next words were the doctors say she has holes in her heart & downs. I told her that the baby would live. No holes in her heart or downs. I was positive God would not give me the dream if that baby wasn't to be okay. Of course there were plenty of prayers. Even though she had a cleft lip & palate she was so adorable. It has been 22 years since that day & now that precious baby, I got to take care of will be a momma in about 60 days. A boy, too. So I know God can heal your baby & remind those doctors miracles still happen everyday!

    I really hope that God does heal your baby. Don’t get me wrong, I believe that He’s more then capable of it. But, remember we cannot tell God what to do. We can’t demand. It has to be according to His will.
    Now I come from the same church you do. I had a baby, full term. Born with many complications and was on life support. I had countless people tell me the visions they had, the prayers I had to pray, telling God that He needs to heal my baby. Claiming it, speaking it to being, etc. I did it all. I had so much faith. I did not allow doctors to speak as much as I could, around him. I had people worldwide praying. We all believed. But in the end, after pulling life support after a long court battle we lost, I spoke life as they pulled the tubes, I spoke healing right in front of everybody. But my baby was already with Jesus. It was not in His will for me to have him. That’s hard. That’s a hard truth. It ripped my foundation out from my feet. Now after searching, seeking counseling from wise theologians, and really looking at the bible, God does what He does because it’s His will, if not He doesn’t. I prayed and asked (more like screamed) God why?! I believed! I had faith! I spoke it!
    His response: trust me.
    That’s it. So simple. Now I had to. I don’t know why. But I know He loves me, and I need to listen. He’s helped mend my heart, spirit and faith. So what I’m saying is yes God is completely able to heal your baby! And I really hope He does!!! I’m praying that!! But according to His will only.
    No matter what happens remember Gods in control, He loves you!

    This is a genuine question from someone who isn’t very religious. When a baby has some sort of birth defect, I OFTEN hear from religious people that “god chose them to have this special baby. God creates every child as they should be”... so saying that, doesn’t that mean god created the child with whatever birth defect they have? Wouldn’t praying to “heal” that be asking god to make a child YOU want and not the child he has always intended on giving you? I’m not trying to be rude in any way. This vid popped in my recommendations so I thought I’d watch, but it seems delusional to think that a baby is healed of a condition formed in weeks 3-4 of gestation simply because of prayer. Now I’m NOT saying God COULDNT heal it. I’m saying why would he, if IN FACT he makes no mistakes and creates each of us as we are to be. It’s counter productive. It’s like being born with something you don’t like about yourself and praying god will change it. If your his perfect creation that he made no mistake while making you, then why would it be ok to ask him to “fix” it and why would he? Just a gal genuinely trying to understand. Don’t get me wrong. I hope your baby gets his miracle. I’m just trying to understand the religious side to it and how it all makes any kind of sense.

      That’s what’s tricky about God, and why it’s hard for some to believe he exits. The statement “God gave them this special baby” when parents end up having a disabled child, is true. We can’t see what he can see. We can’t see that the struggle actually makes the parents stronger, more loving, wiser, and that one day they are meant to help others with their own disabled children. It’s a beautiful community, still hard at times but beautiful. Here’s where it gets confusing...Jesus Christ said where there is faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains. He also said ask, with true faith and you will receive. Some people don’t know that it takes ALOT of prayer for miracles to happen. Just like it takes lots of children to “believe” in Santa for the presents to come! It doesn’t seem fair that some parents get miracles and some “don’t” but what we can’t see is that some people’s miracle is a disabled child, it’s their destiny, and they are learning things every day about the depth of love, patience, sacrifice, and finding joy in a dark place. That being said, some people’s miracle is a healing. And I believe if God doesn’t heal me of something after thousands of prayers..it’s my time to go home to heaven and meet him.

    I’m glad your church and family are praying for your child and I will pray for him as well. That being said I have a grown child with disabilities, when you are pregnant you have hopes, plans and dreams of what your child will be and do. When a child is born with disabilities you have to change your expectations and dreams to fit your child. God has chosen you as their parent for a reason. If he had been born to people who were not religious or to those who wouldn’t treat him well or love him for who he is, he wouldn’t have a good life.

      mscindyruth I agree.. I heard a podcast talking about how “declaring/proclaiming” in Jesus’ name or “speaking it into existence” is basically us trying to make ourselves “little gods”. I believe without a doubt that there is power in prayer and that God is alive and moving and still has the ability to heal, but putting so much emphasis on “already knowing” that the baby is healed just feels off to me.. I am a Christian myself. The Bible warns so much about not being deceived and I feel like this is just as dangerous as the prosperity gospel, like you said. There is some truth taken out of context. God hears our prayers and no matter what a miracle will happen, but as others have already said, perhaps that miracle is how this family will impact the lives of other families with babies/children with disabilities. I pray for a healthy pregnancy and delivery and I know that they will honor God in a complete healing or whether the baby lives with Spina Bifida.

      I think it’s incredibly disrespectful to tell them during this very difficult time that they are wrong for wanting healing for their baby because no parent would want their newborn to undergo surgeries right after birth. It doesn’t mean their baby is a failure for having disabilities but they have every right to approach this in whatever why they can handle. Think about your own platform. They are struggling and scared and you’ve just made a comment designed to make them feel guilty. Not what they need from their brothers and sisters right now. I have no doubt that no matter the condition of their baby, he will be loved and cherished. Having disabilities yourself you should understand, wouldn’t your parents have wanted more than anything to prevent your struggles? You aren’t a failure but parents don’t want pain for their children. Pray for them. Don’t criticize them.

They also chose to have a public platform with over 37k subscribers. But I also fully believe the life of a Christian is to submit to the will of God regardless of it seems “victorious”. They chose to use those words. Many of us have spent our entire lives being shamed out of churches under this guise of victory. It’s a dangerous mindset both for those of us with disabilities, our families, and those who God may choose to allow their child to have a disability.

      Cassie Hunt Cassie Hunt If you’ve ever been shamed out of church for a disability then there was a major malfunction in that church. Never in all my life of church going have I ever witnessed that in regards to any disability. I believe in my heart that when they are claiming victory in this case that it is more of a declaration of faith that God can do all things. Even if it is Gods will for this family to endure this hardship it is not a failure and I don’t believe they feel that way. All I am saying is during this difficult time when what they need is love and prayer, your comment was designed to elicit guilt for how they are handling it. Not a great approach for anyone to take. They need to be able to process this in whatever way works for them. If you don’t agree with it you have just as much right not to watch them but you took the approach of shaming instead which will only cause them more stress. This was meant as a positive post about faith. Just because they have a channel with a large following is not an excuse for us to forget how we should treat others.

    I'm a minister and the tone of this is really off-putting. You are essentially saying that God can ONLY do miracles if your baby doesn't have Spina Bifida. Sometimes when we pray for healing, God heals us by taking us home. Sometimes when we pray for healing, God heals our hearts but not our bodies. Sometimes when we pray for healing, God intends to use us to heal someone else. Paul had a thorn in the flesh and it was that very thing that allowed him to be effective in ministry. You don't know what God is doing and it is completely sinful to presume that you do. One day your child may watch these videos.

Something similar happened to my family, we prayed and prayed for a miracle and in the Bible it says “if you have faith you can move mountains.” We had so much faith and trust and that same moment we were praying a miracle happened to my family and that is why i trust God. Sometimes all he wants is for us to have faith. And to trust him. Obviously they won’t love their baby any less if the baby still has SB. I know if i had a baby who had SB i would pray and ask for a miracle because no parents wants a Risky pregnancy, but even though my baby had SB after praying, i would thank God for giving me a miracle baby. God is amazing and he knows why this is happening. Maybe they don’t know it yet but who knows, maybe their baby will be born healthy so people can see how amazing God is.

    I pray that the Lord’s Will will be done in this situation. God knows our every need and will give us all that we need. But just as the Lord gives, he also takes away and it is all for His glory. I pray that your family will use this baby’s story and show it as a testimony of God’s glory, love, greatness, and goodness. No matter what the outcome is. Because whatever happens to your beautiful child, it will be the will of God. God loves him and we are praying! I’m so glad you are sharing your story with us! We will continue to keep your child in our prayer.
    Just think of all of the people you can reach out to in every possible situation God may have in store!

    Coming from someone who had debilitating health issues growing up, there’s NOTHING wrong with praying for a healthy baby and believing in a healing for your child! YES the baby is a blessing either way and she never said otherwise, but everyone wants their child to be healthy. A child is not any less for having a sickness or disability, but the truth is it was hard for not only me, but also my mother for her to have to watch how sick I was and how I couldn’t do everything the other kids did. It was also hard for me to not experience things the “normal” way. She prayed every day for me that God would heal me and help me. She still loved me. She still thinks I’m a miracle and a blessing, but wants me to live the fullest and best life possible with full health. No parent wants to watch their kid have to go through health struggles and no child really wants them either. Pray away girl! God healed me and I know he can heal your baby too. Regardless of what happens, he’s a blessing and so are you guys and thank you for sharing your story with us. We love you and are praying for you!! ❤️💜

    Victory doesn’t = getting a miracle or getting healed... you still have the victory in Christ, even with a child being born with a disability.
    Victory is found in Christ, not in being healed of having a disability. “In this world you will have many trials, but take heart for I (Christ) have overcome the world.”
    God does perform miracles= i was born with Spina Bifida (myelomeningocele) when there was no in utero surgery available. I was never expected to walk, but I do! I still have Spina Bifida, but I also still have the victory in Christ!
    I will be praying for you guys and the baby, believing this baby can be fully healed. However, I pray that God would reveal himself through all of this, in ways you can’t even begin to imagine. Where we lack in this life, God wants to fill us with more of himself!

They could have been living somewhere that didn’t have ultrasounds or didn’t have medical professions to seek advice to. That in itself is a tremendous gift. I think it’s cruel to the people living with SB already because they didn’t have the technology or resources to have intrauterine surgery 20 years ago. Overall, I think things happen for a reason and maybe you were meant to have a child with SB so that they can bring awareness and show other people that a disability doesn’t define them.

It was a horrible diagnosis and the doctor advised them to get a medical abortion. They are pastors of a church and completely against abortion. They saw there was no risk to mom or baby keeping the baby alive so they just kept going on with life and going to doctors appointments. With every doctors appointment the doctor would come in and say “I don’t understand” the baby would lose a diagnosis. Soon the Trisomy 18 and 23 were off the table completely and they found working kidneys saying that the test “must be wrong”. They ran those tests so many time! 35 week mark come around and she goes into labor and she delivers a healthy baby boy and they only medical problems the baby has is that the kidney functions are slightly poor but will improve with age! The beautiful baby boy is now 5 years old and completely healthy! God does amazing things! Never lose hope because you never know what is up His sleeve!

    For those saying they aren’t grateful and need to not pray for healing because God doesn’t make mistakes, need to stop. No, he doesn’t make mistakes but sometimes he creates things for faith building. What if he is using this to build there faith, that if they pray for healing and he heals the baby, that would bring a lot more faith into their life. If he doesn’t heal him, then of course he will use that to build their faith as well, but I have seen people healed in unimaginable ways so you have NO idea what God will do with this situation.
    Not everyone wants to believe their baby is going to be born with a disability. I would be praying to believing that God would use my situation to build my faith in him no matter what he decided to do. When you get pregnant, your dreams of a little one who plays sports, or runs marathons (or whatever) can be completely changed depending on a diagnosis. So, telling someone they can’t grieve or pray for a better outcome, it’s just heartbreaking. If you had dreams of becoming the fastest runner and you practiced for years and u had a horrible accident that doctors said you’d never come out of and be healed from, your dreams are gone....but your still gonna pray to be healed and try your hardest to prove everyone wrong. You see the stories all the time. Maybe you guys that are telling them that “they need to get use to the idea of their situation” do not have enough faith.

Babies with disabilities are definitely still a blessing, but nobody wants their children to have to go through health issues/hardships. They definitely need to not be oblivious (which they for sure seem to be going full on without a doubt that the baby is “healed”) but holding on hope that your child will come out completely healthy and able bodied isn’t a bad thing.

    Oh how powerful it is to see a young couple so dedicated to God's power and love. Your so right, we have an unstoppable God! He has blessed your efforts and we praise him. I came across your video of the announcement. I had not seen any of your other videos. But I am praying for you all and all glory goes to God. Praise His Holy name!

    Hi guys,
    As a fellow Christian I will stand with you in prayer declaring victory over your little baby boy. Just on another note I want to thank you for sharing this with the world....as Christians we are asked to share, declare and teach about who Jesus is and what he can do for His people (ALL people)....and you are doing that!
    Thanks for being real. God Bless you love from Australia.

    Ive been watching your channel for a couple weeks now; I stumbled acorss it in my effoet to find ways to reconnect with God. You have been one of the biggest inspirations in my life. Today I was thinking about you and decided to check to see how your son was doing, when I opened UA-cam you were the first video on my feed. When I watched your videos last week I knew God would heal your son, he told me whilst watching you two, that your son was going to be okay. Today I watch how happy you are to have learned that. I wanted to say, thank you for restoring my faith in God, thank you for helping me find him again.
    I will continue to pray for your family ❤

    May God our Father continue to watch over you and your baby. Our son is now 24, but when he was in utero it was found that his one kidney wasn't draining as was supposed to and his kidney was swollen. He was followed by a urologist and prayed for by our church and family. When he was 10 years old, he had a growth spurt that his kidney started to work along with the other one and he didn't need surgery. So I will be praying also. God bless you again and again.

    For those telling you that you’re in a bit of denial, please disregard completely! My daughter was diagnosed and confirmed at 22 weeks with a number of brain conditions and the outcomes we were given were brutal. When we decided to continue our pregnancy many specialists told us we needed to be more realistic as to our daughters outcome. We prayed the whole rest of the pregnancy and just believed we’d help our daughter through anything. The spectrum of severity within disorders is huge and though many babies with our daughters conditions never walk and talk, our daughter is already showing God’s grace and doing things she was never supposed to. She has delays and seizures but a diagnosis doesn’t limit any baby. God is so good!!

    We have been TTC for two years using IVF but still no luck. We are hoping to start our fourth transfer soon. There have been many times I feel like giving up, but I know God has a plan for us and that this pain has a purpose. Your story give me hope. I am praying for you and baby 🙏🏽
