Woven Well: Natural Fertility Podcast

Ep.138: Faith-informed fertility decisions, with Fr. Michael Novotny


Listen Later

NEXT EPISODE RELEASE: Nov 1, 2024!!

As Christians, our faith has a heavy influence on all of our important decisions in life: spouse, jobs, finances, moves. But what about our fertility decision? How can our faith guide us when it comes to questions about contraception, sterilization, or sexual union within marriage? Fr. Michael Novotny joins us to talk about why he discusses these important topics with every engaged couple he counsels, as well as married couples within his church.

NOTE: This episode does use terminology like "sexual intercourse" and may not be appropriate for all audiences.

GUEST BIO:
Fr. Michael has been the Rector of Christ the King Anglican Church since June 2017 and has attended with his wife, Jennifer, since 2010. He is a graduate of Beeson Divinity School (M.Div 2013) having received Holy Orders in the Anglican Church in North America in 2016. Prior to becoming Rector of CTK he served as the Christian Studies department chair and Dean of Students/Spiritual Life at a local Christian high school. He is married to the love of his life, Jennifer. Together they have five children, Levi, Priscilla, Ruth, Joseph, and Samuel (of blessed memory). Fr. Michael’s desire as a priest is to “equip the saints for the work of ministry,” and help train up the next generation of clergy and lay leaders. Fr. Michael also serves as the Dean of the Central Alabama Deanery in the Anglican Diocese of the South.
