With modern medicine comes controversial questions. Today we're talking about sperm donation and artificial insemination. Is it wrong for Christians to do? Is there sexual sin involved? Are there any differences between these options and IVF?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question around the nature of sperm donation and artificial insemination to get an idea if either of these options would be appropriate for a Christian to consider. We look at the different circumstances in which they are used and the morality of how sperm is donated and the impact on the mother and the eventual children. Our hope is that as you listen, you would have an open mind to what God says about the topic of pregnancy and fertility and what the best options may be if you ever find yourself looking into this as an option.
