“Child free” is a phrase that populates comment sections on social media, Reddit threads, news articles, and more.
It’s more than a little trendy to at least entertain the idea of forgoing having children altogether.
But is it biblical?
I sit down with my good friend, Jennifer Flanders from
Flanders Family Home Life (https://www.flandersfamily.info/web/) , chat about the biblical implications of a child-free lifestyle.
We also chat all things birth control and what it looks like to live a surrendered life before the Lord—in every area, including, but not limited to, our fertility.
Jennifer is one of my favorite humans on the planet, and I know you’ll appreciate her wisdom!

Great podcast! I can totally relate with the scaring off of a bunch of guys by the number of children I wanted. God is faithful. He brought me my amazing husband, and we have weathered some intense storms in the almost 3 years we have been married. Baby #2 is due any day now. Thanks for bringing up this topic. It is so important to have wise women speaking the truth about what culture says is "normal." Keep up the good work!
I loved her point on "give us this day our daily bread". Great episode, loved it ❤
