Ep. 154: Were Christians against birth control for centuries?

Is it okay to use the pill? Why do some Christians and denominations have issues with birth control while others don't? There was one MAJOR EVENT that caused a shift in the perspective of many Christians on the issue of contraception and, if you're a Christian deciding about birth control use, you deserve to know about it! This episode dives into the longstanding Christian stance on birth control and how it changed.
