Welcome to the Surrender Birth, a podcast dedicated to helping Christian parents prepare for birth by encouraging, equipping, & educating them. In this episode, Chip and Dani Brown tell their story. They describe how they met, married at a young age, and began their journey through pregnancy and childbirth. The conversation traces the dramatic change in their understanding of children, birth, and God’s design for family life.

Their experiences range from epidural hospital deliveries to peaceful water births at home; they also recall a surprise twin pregnancy and a five-minute hospital delivery that barely felt like labor. Beyond these birth stories, they offer a testimony of sanctification as pride was removed, comforts were surrendered, and their view of ministry was reshaped through family life.
