Motherhood vs. The Infertile Cult of Self-Expression
Listen now
Description
Jeremy and April Pryor are joined by Annalisa Barraza, Holly Worley, and Jess Gonyea to discuss two topics surrounding motherhood and femininity, all through the Family Teams lens. First they react to whether there's a place for women to "be" in the family, when compared to working outside the home. Our culture has put "self-expression" as the highest virtue, but can we as Christians really buy into that? Next, they comment on the reality of a woman's biological clock (in reaction to a Brett Cooper video). Even in Christian circles, nobody is talking to young women about the reality of fertility, aging, and the process leading up to having kids, and it's creating a tragic epidemic of "unplanned childlessness". These are the conversations we need to be having to point people back to Truth, Reality, and Christ in a world that's absolutely bent on distorting it all in order to do violence to the family as a vehicle for God's will. On this episode, we talk about: 1:34 Does the "Christian right" need more of a vision for women than being a wife and mother? 5:34 Moms react...is there a place for women to "be" in a family setting? 20:23 The cultural lie that "self-expression" is the ultimate goal 22:48 The Proverbs 31 woman as a vision for mothers and wives 30:35 Brett Cooper on The Reality of a Woman's Biological Clock 40:54 The pill, society's view of children, and "babymoons" 47:40 Integrating your entire life Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: Brett Cooper Video --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!
