In this episode we turn the mic over to Pastor Edwina Stonebridge (Location Pastor at C3 Camden) as she interviews Steph Penny about her new book 'Surviving Childlessness: Faith and Furbabies.' Steph and her husband Chris are members of C3 Camden. Due to Steph suffering from an autoimmune disease that would pose an extremely high risk to any pregnancy they have chosen to remain childless. Step refers to this as 'Childless by forced choice.'

But this interview is most definitely not just for childless people. Those who are will resonate with Steph for sure, but Steph carries a vital message for every Christian - valuable insight into how the Church can support childless people to feel loved and accepted. And her message extends beyond the issue of childlessness to how the church can and must support every person in any minority group to feel included.
