If you've ever watched another pregnancy announcement and wondered—even for a moment—if God loves her more than He loves you, today's episode is for you.
Because Romans 9 contains one of the most difficult passages in all of Scripture:
"Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
And if we're not careful, we'll read that verse and start believing something God never intended us to believe—that His sovereignty means He is arbitrary, unfair, or playing favorites with our lives.
So today we're going to talk about what Romans 9 actually teaches, what it doesn't teach, and why God's sovereign choice is meant to produce humility, worship, and trust—not fear that you've somehow become less loved because you're still waiting.

Try the Inito InSight Wireless Reader
As shared in last week's episode, one of the tools I've personally started using as we prepare for baby #3 is the Inito InSight Wireless Reader.
The device is available for just $99 with code WAITINGWELL and gives you access to your very own fertility lab at home.
Instead of guessing what's happening in your cycle, Inito measures actual hormone values, including:
• Estrogen (E3G)
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
• Pregnanediol Glucuronide (PdG) to help confirm ovulation
• Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Whether you're trying to pinpoint ovulation, better understand your cycle, or gather data to support your fertility journey, Inito provides real hormone insights right from your phone.
