Today, we're answering a few of your questions. We offer some advice for those wondering if motherhood is part of God’s 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.
