Our Founder

Kristin O’Bryan

Kristin O’Bryan and her husband, Jay, moved to Pace, Florida in 2015. Shortly after they learned that they were facing infertility. After many years of struggles and disappointments with their journey to grow their family, Kristin felt God calling her to start a ministry that served others who were facing struggles starting a family.

In January 2022, Kristin began this ministry through a podcast called, Accepting Not Expecting. Through this podcast she was able to add a voice to the silent struggles of infertility. Since then, God has continued to grow this ministry to include two classes at her home church, Immanuel Baptist Church and through founding a non profit called The Gathering Garden.

As Kristin and her husband continue to follow God’s calling in growing their family, Kristin shares with others how God has led her through difficult moments and how those moments have helped her and her marriage continue to grow despite of the struggles and pain.
