“In losing my three sweet babies, I was not left empty-handed. God filled my hands with his own nail-pierced hands. He met me in my grief and sat with me in the ashes. He will do this for you, too. You can know him–your suffering Savior. To know him more is to treasure him more. Jesus is not a consolation prize for the loss of your unborn babies.. He is the prize–the Treasure that surpasses all other treasures.” - Brittany Allen, Lost Gifts
In this tender and truth-filled conversation, Brittany Allen joins Kristin Hernandez to share her story of recurrent miscarriage and the deep comfort she has found in treasuring Christ above all else.
Together, we explore why our culture often minimizes early pregnancy loss, and how we can better reflect God’s heart through the language we use and the way we care for grieving mothers and fathers. With gospel-centered hope, Brittany reminds us that our highest purpose isn’t found in motherhood, but in glorifying God—and that in our suffering, we’re invited into deeper intimacy with the Savior who meets us in our sorrow.
This episode is a compassionate companion for anyone grieving a miscarriage or stillbirth, or walking alongside someone who is. You’ll be reminded that your baby’s life matters, your grief matters, and most of all, Christ is near.
Brittany Allen is a wife to James and a mom to two boys as well as three babies lost to miscarriage. She’s the author of Lost Gifts: Miscarriage, Grief, and the God of All Comfort (Lexham Press) and Free to Weep: Finding the Courage to Grieve and Embracing the God Who Heals, set to release April 2026 with Moody Publishers.
