Rise: A Christian Birth Podcast
Rise: A Christian Birth Podcast is for pregnant Christian women who want to prepare for birth with confidence, wisdom, and trust in the Lord - especially if you desire a natural or unmedicated birth but feel unsure how to get there.
Hosted by Christian doula Mannah Liu of Rise Birth Services, this podcast offers encouragement, education, and biblical truth for birth without fear. You’ll learn how fear impacts labor, what’s happening in your body during birth, and practical tools to cope with pain, alongside Scripture-grounded perspective, prayer, and honest conversations about real-life birth.
Whether you’re a first-time mom, feeling torn between faith and fear, or hoping to approach labor with more peace and clarity, Rise will help you prepare your heart, mind, and body for birth so you can walk into labor informed, supported, and anchored in God’s presence.
