Are you constantly asking God, why me? Why am I not getting pregnant? Why I am going through infertility? Are you scouring the internet for answers for how to navigate infertility and trying to conceive as a Christian? Are you looking for faith-based support on your fertility journey because no one in your circle really knows what you’re going through? Do you wish you could be at peace with God, your story, and learn to see the goodness of God in your waiting season? In this podcast, you will find faith-based encouragement and support for your TTC & infertility journey, whether you’re navigating IVF, IUI, fertility treatments or simply just waiting, you do NOT have to walk this road alone. Hi, I’m Courtney Duinker, host of the Waiting Well Podcast… I remember how it felt five years in to our infertility story, standing in the aisle of Target right after a failed IUI treatment, holding back tears as I reached for a box of tampons when a couple who was clearly expecting came down the aisle. They were smiling as they talked while holding a new pack of diapers. My heart sank. I couldn’t help the one question bubbling to the surface as my heartache over not conceiving overwhelmed me…. will it ever be my turn? I felt forgotten, lost and wanted to tap out of the roller coaster of infertility we seemed to be stuck on. I didn’t know how to find peace with God. I wrestled to believe or see His goodness. And at one point, my faith felt completely shattered. I felt so alone in our pain & suffering. As we faced questions around treatment options, I was so confused. What was God’s plan? What were we supposed to do? I so desperately wanted to honor God even with our fertility journey. But I wrestled with how. This is what led to creating The Waiting Well. A virtual “well” where TTC women can come together and be equipped with God’s Word, encouraged, challenged and ultimately supported as we learn to wait well on God’s timing. Each week I’ll share faith-based encouragement from my own infertility journey, provide information from expert guests on navigating infertility/TTC, powerful testimonials, answer common questions with scripture and share top tips on stewarding your health through this demanding journey. My mission is to equip you to live an “even if” life… Even if God doesn’t answer my prayer, or grant me this desire to be a mother, I will still praise Him. He is still good. And my life, my identity, my worth is a sure thing I find in Him alone. If you are ready to take back control of your life, find peace with God, joy in the in-between spaces and thrive in your waiting season, then meet me at the well girl. We’ve got some intentional growth to do.

76 | When the Line Fades: Understanding Chemical Pregnancy and Finding Purpose in the Pain
If you’ve ever seen a faint positive line on a pregnancy test—only to start your period days later—you’re not alone. What you experienced may have been a chemical pregnancy, one of the most common and heartbreaking forms of early miscarriage. In this episode, Courtney gently walks you through what a chemical pregnancy is, why faint lines sometimes fade, and how to process the emotional and spiritual weight of that loss. You’ll learn how to find purpose in the pain, discover the difference between forcing joy and choosing to rejoice, and see how Paul’s example of rejoicing in suffering can anchor your heart when life doesn’t go as planned. This episode is an invitation to grieve honestly, rejoice intentionally, and remember that God is near—even when the line fades.

75 | From IVF to Baby #3: The Surprising Tool I’m Using Now
Trying to conceive can feel like a never-ending cycle of guessing, hoping, and waiting. In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what I’m doing differently as my husband and I begin trying for baby #3. I share my personal fertility journey—from battling infertility and IVF to welcoming two miracle girls—and why this season feels different. This time, I’m pairing faith with science by using Inito, the at-home fertility monitor that tracks four key hormones for a full picture of your cycle. No more squinting at test strips or relying on app predictions. Inito has given me clarity, peace of mind, and a six-day fertile window backed by real data. But more than that, I’ll walk you through the biblical perspective that shapes how I use tools like this: stewarding my body wisely, trusting God fully, and remembering that faith and science are not enemies. If you’ve ever felt like you’re missing something or wasting precious cycles, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with practical TTC tools, spiritual encouragement, and a reminder that even in the waiting, God is good. ----more---- Try Inito THE Fertility Tool you Need - as shared today, this is the tool I just started using as we begin preparing for conceiving baby 3!!

72 | Trusting God or Playing God? The Line Between Faith and Fertility Science
In this 20-minute episode, Courtney walks listeners through four common TTC tensions—creating embryos (IVF), genetic screening/selection, donor eggs/sperm & surrogacy, and data-driven tracking—without handing out black-and-white verdicts.

65 | If God is Good, Why Do Bad Things Happen? What the Story of Job Reveals About His Sovereignty
Have you ever cried out, “Why would God let this happen to me?” In this episode, we tackle one of the hardest faith questions of all time: If God is good and all-powerful, why does He allow suffering? Through the lens of Job’s story, we uncover a sobering but comforting truth: Satan doesn’t have free rein. He needs permission. Which means that even your deepest pain has passed through the hands of a sovereign, intentional God. We’ll explore how to reconcile God’s goodness with our grief, why knowing His names helps us trust His plans, and how pride whispers, “You could do better,” when faith says, “He is still good.” If you’re walking through loss, disappointment, or a waiting season and wondering where God is in the midst of it — this conversation will meet you there. 📖 Scripture highlights: Job 1–2, Isaiah 55:8–9, Romans 8:28💛 Faith encouragement + truth-based theology🎧 Tune in now — and discover how to find peace in the sovereignty of God.   🔗 Apply Now to Join The Waiting Well Framework! 💫 This Christ-centered 8-week mentorship is open for ongoing enrollment.

64 | The ONE Feeling Every Woman Facing Infertility Struggles With (But Rarely Talks About)
If you’ve ever felt like you’re standing on the outside looking in — watching others step into the motherhood role you long for — you’re not alone. In today’s episode, we’re naming the ache to belong that so many women silently carry during their fertility journey. From the pain of not holding the title “mom” yet, to the emotional weight of feeling left out of the motherhood community, we unpack how God wired us for connection — and how our truest belonging is found in Him, not in our circumstances. Courtney shares a raw personal story of uprooting her life from Maui to Texas and how it revealed deeper lessons about identity, grief, and grounding your worth beyond roles or recognition. Rooted in Scripture and full of practical encouragement, this episode offers a new way to see the season of waiting: not as punishment, but as an invitation to be anchored in God’s love. Whether you’re feeling overlooked, left out, or just deeply weary, this episode is a reminder: You already belong — because you are His. 🔗 Apply Now to Join The Waiting Well Framework! 💫 This Christ-centered 8-week mentorship is open for ongoing enrollment.

The Waiting Well - Infertility, Faith-based Encouragement, Trying to Conceive, Fertility
Are you constantly asking God, why me? Why am I not getting pregnant? Why I am going through infertility? Are you scouring the internet for answers for how to navigate infertility and trying to conceive as a Christian? Are you looking for faith-based support on your fertility journey because no one in your circle really knows what you’re going through? Do you wish you could be at peace with God, your story, and learn to see the goodness of God in your waiting season? In this podcast, you will find faith-based encouragement and support for your TTC & infertility journey, whether you’re navigating IVF, IUI, fertility treatments or simply just waiting, you do NOT have to walk this road alone. Hi, I’m Courtney Duinker, host of the Waiting Well Podcast… I remember how it felt five years in to our infertility story, standing in the aisle of Target right after a failed IUI treatment, holding back tears as I reached for a box of tampons when a couple who was clearly expecting came down the aisle. They were smiling as they talked while holding a new pack of diapers. My heart sank. I couldn’t help the one question bubbling to the surface as my heartache over not conceiving overwhelmed me…. will it ever be my turn? I felt forgotten, lost and wanted to tap out of the roller coaster of infertility we seemed to be stuck on. I didn’t know how to find peace with God. I wrestled to believe or see His goodness. And at one point, my faith felt completely shattered. I felt so alone in our pain & suffering. As we faced questions around treatment options, I was so confused. What was God’s plan? What were we supposed to do? I so desperately wanted to honor God even with our fertility journey. But I wrestled with how. This is what led to creating The Waiting Well. A virtual “well” where TTC women can come together and be equipped with God’s Word, encouraged, challenged and ultimately supported as we learn to wait well on God’s timing. Each week I’ll share faith-based encouragement from my own infertility journey, provide information from expert guests on navigating infertility/TTC, powerful testimonials, answer common questions with scripture and share top tips on stewarding your health through this demanding journey. My mission is to equip you to live an “even if” life… Even if God doesn’t answer my prayer, or grant me this desire to be a mother, I will still praise Him. He is still good. And my life, my identity, my worth is a sure thing I find in Him alone. If you are ready to take back control of your life, find peace with God, joy in the in-between spaces and thrive in your waiting season, then meet me at the well girl. We’ve got some intentional growth to do.
