Your Dunamas Life

Let's be clear about something right up front:  having a cesarean section is major abdominal surgery.  Period.  Moms today are choosing to schedule c-sections more now than ever.  With SO many risks involved, why are c-sections on the rise?  Could it be cultural?  Maybe they just don't know any different.  Maybe the real reason is that moms are afraid (afraid of pain, afraid of not being in control, afraid of what other people would say, etc).  Dr Pauline and Catherine talk about this controversial topic and look at how fear fits (or doesn't fit) in God's design andthe Dunamas Life.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number that a lot of people focus on...a lot.  Some would say too much.  Excess fat, cholesterol, etc are all good things to pay attention to, and address if needed.  Is BMI really THAT important? The bottom line is this:  what does God say about your health?  He created you and knows what's best for you - even better than you know yourself.  Join Dr Pauline and Catherine as they look at what BMI has to do with Biblical health within Your Dunamas Life.

Epidural so are safe, right?  After all, my doctor always has my best interest in mind and would never do anything that could harm me or my baby, right?  Do you know what's in an epidural?  Have you ever considered what effect those drugs will have on your baby?  Have you thought about the physical, emotional, and spiritual side effects that you could experience as a result of these drugs?  Dr Pauline and Catherine will open your eyes to what's really going into your body (and your baby) when you choose an epidural.

For decades, the medical community has not allowed women to have much more than ice chips while participating in one of the most athletic, exhausting experiences of their life - delivering a baby.  Studies are coming out in recent years that say that it's now "OK" for a mom to eat and drink while in labor.  So, what changed?  Dr Pauline and Catherine discuss the recent findings, and cover some things that may or may not seem obvious regarding labor, delivery, and moms' ability to eat during labor.

Meditation has become a pretty big thing in our society in the last few years.  Are you participating in mindfulness meditation - the idea of focusing all your energy and thoughts on yourself, or transcendental meditation - the idea of emptying your mind completely (which, in turn, opens your mind to everything and anything...seems a little dangerous)?  In this day and age of searching for peace, tranquility, or whatever you want to call it, we're missing out on something really important:  Jesus.  He is the Prince of Peace.  Why not meditate on Jesus, the Bible, and draw from the true source of Peace and Joy?  Join Dr Pauline and Catherine as they take a look through a Biblical lenses at meditation.

Whether you're a brand new believer, or you've been a Christian for decades, let's be honest...reading the Bible can - at times - feel a little stale.  So how can we refresh our eyes, maybe gain a different perspective, and find new joy in reading God's Word?  Listen this week as Dr Pauline and Catherine explore some options to help re-discover the excitement of reading and studying the Word of God.
