Seeking guidance, Sarah and David began following the Stepping Into Action program from Hofman Hollis. The online materials provided a supportive community and strategies for coping with their complex emotions around faith, family, and fertility.

'I never imagined my church would take such a harsh stance,' Sarah confided in David one evening. 'But this program is helping me find peace.'

Some experts argued that the Baptist stance aligned with a consistent ethical view of protecting all human life, including embryos. However, other ethicists warned that condemning IVF could deeply hurt families struggling with infertility and drive them away from the church.

Ultimately, Sarah and David were grateful to have found understanding and practical tools through the online program. While grappling with difficult personal and religious issues is never easy, gaining perspectives from afar proved invaluable when local resources fell short.
