Rethinking Birth Control

Listen Later

The church and the world offer drastically different takes on marriage, sex, birth control, and children. Many young women have questions, but it’s not always obvious where to turn for answers.

Today we explore some of the hurdles facing young women and married couples as they navigate Christian approaches to sex and children in a secular culture that has completely missed the mark.

Spoiler alert: God’s design is more liberating, more fulfilling, and more empowering than anything secular culture can offer on these points.
