How would you react if your teen or someone you know became pregnant unexpectedly or unintentionally? Could you handle this situation encouragingly and lovingly?
Licensed counselor, Tina Yeager, is back to guide us through this unexpected pregnancy series.

Tina also hosts the Flourish-Meant podcast and is a publisher of Inkspirations Online, a weekly devotional publication for writers.
"Just because we didn't expect it doesn't mean that God didn't know this child would be born. So remember that God created every child, and every child can be a blessing that God has given to the world." – Tina Yeager
