Ep 895 | Is Motherhood God's Plan for Every Woman? | Q&A

Published: Oct. 24, 2023, 7 p.m.

Today, we're answering a few of your questions. We offer some advice for those wondering if motherhood is part of God\u2019s plan for them, and how do we square the command to be fruitful with an inability to get pregnant? We also answer the question of whether circumcision is biblical or barbaric and look at what evangelical Christianity might get wrong as well as why Catholics believe in the Apocrypha and protestants don't.\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(00:48) What if motherhood isn't God's plan for me?\n(11:28) Is IVF okay if a couple uses their own eggs/sperm and eventually uses them all?\n(17:25) Favorite movie?\n(18:14) Is circumcision biblical or barbaric?\n(21:55) Do you ever plan to homeschool?\n(22:10) If you could change one thing western evangelical Christianity does wrong, what would it be?\n(24:55) Can you do a book tour when your next book comes out?\n(25:00) Why are some books left out of the Bible that we use today?\n(27:15) Aside from the Lord, what makes your marriage stronger?\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nCarly Jean Los Angeles \u2014\xa0use promo code 'RELATABLE' (new code!) to save 20% off your first order at CarlyJeanLosAngeles.com!\n\nCrowdHealth \u2014 get your first 6 months for just $99/month.
