Summary

Katy Faust joins the podcast to talk about her “Them Before Us” movement, which prioritizes the rights and happiness of children over the rights and happiness of adults. We cover everything from same-sex marriage to surrogacy to the ethics of IVF. We also suggest redemptive ways Christians can think through issues surrounding IVF, whether they are thinking about it, or have already utilized it. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSSubscribe to any Good Ranchers box and you can choose a free add-on for the next 4 YEARS!Boneless Chicken Breasts or Angus Ground Beef or Applewood Smoked BaconOr Wild-Caught SalmonUse my code: ALISAGo to www.goodranchers.com/alisa (http://www.goodranchers.com/alisa) for more information.SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get up to 25% off! www.sevenweekscoffee.com (http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/)FOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Elisa Childers podcast where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of historic
0:13.7	Christianity discern its counterfeits and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness,
0:18.1	and truth. And I have just had the most amazing conversation with Katie Faust who is the founder of
0:24.9	them before us which is a global children's movement and I hope to that as you
0:31.9	listen to this podcast today I think that many people will be
0:36.0	challenged I know that when I read through her book then before us there were even
0:39.5	parts of her book that really challenged me where I felt myself getting a little defensive,
0:45.6	but then I realized, okay, wait, what she's saying is right and it's my heart that needs to change.

1:36.0	And so her book really helped me to make some connections and to think through some things.
1:42.0	That's what I hope this episode will do for you today now if you're
1:44.8	watching and you have done IVF or you're considering IVF my goal and my hope for this episode was that this would be
1:51.9	not something that would make you feel condemned, but that would offer you a way forward.
1:57.0	Maybe to let you know some things maybe you weren't aware of.
2:01.0	I just hope that this episode will shine some biblical light on some very
2:06.6	tough and tender topics and we do acknowledge and realize that these are tender
