"Faith reflections" discussion questions by Sarah Scherschligt

1. In what ways do you, your congregation, and our society subtly (or not so subtly) shame women who either don’t have children or have adopted their children?

2. When you hear Scripture that says "barren women" are supposed to sing, what’s your gut reaction?

3. What does vocation (your calling) have to do with motherhood?

4. When have you felt really called to something that seemed impossible?

5. How does knowing that the mothers of some of our most revered faith-ancestors struggled to conceive influence your thoughts on infertility?
