Summary

In this episode, Pastor Wit and I tackle one of my most requested topics: How to approach issues like childbearing, birth control, infertility, IVF, and so much more from a biblical perspective.

Our goal is to equip, encourage, and exhort fellow believers to think about each of these topics from a place of prioritizing God’s Word, rather than cultural influences or man’s wisdom.

We pray this episode is a useful tool to every Christian who finds him/herself grappling with how to approach fertility with integrity and righteousness.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the MS for Mama podcast. I'm your host, Abby Halberstadt, happy wife,
0:09.5	mama, 10, Bible believing Christian. And on today's episode, we are going to be diving into a
0:16.1	highly debated and sometimes controversial topic, but one that you guys have asked me to talk about
0:23.6	a ton with some very specific questions that we're addressing today. And I say we, because Pastor Witt
0:29.2	is back to give his perspective from God's word, of course, always grounded in scriptural truth.
0:36.2	And I know that you guys will find what
0:38.5	he has to say in our discussion to be edifying and helpful, possibly convicting. It might step on
0:44.5	some toes. That's not the goal, ultimately, to make people upset. But if what we talk about
0:49.3	today prompts some soul searching and some reevaluating possibly, then I think that the sore toes might be worth it.
0:56.5	Before we dive in, I want to highlight our podcast sponsor, Voteberg Music Academy.
1:00.9	You guys know that our family loves the Voteberg family and loves their heart for getting
1:04.7	kids to dive into music lessons with gusto without having to be goaded or reminded or nagged to practice because of
1:13.2	their song-based approach to getting kids able to learn things that they enjoy playing immediately.
1:19.5	You can use the code MS for Mama 20 for 20% off each month that you're enrolled.
1:23.7	You can share lessons between siblings and guitar, mandolin, fiddle, ukulele, and piano.
1:29.5	And you can get weekly lessons and access to instructors.
1:34.4	You can even do contests and get badges mailed to your door and win prizes with other participants in Boatberg Music Academy.
1:41.0	I have no doubt if you love music, you will love this way of learning.
1:43.7	And don't forget to use my code. I'll put it in the show notes.
1:48.2	Okay, so we're diving into this topic that, like I said, I have been asked so many questions
1:53.7	about it. And I knew, as I saw these questions rolling in, that this wasn't something that I wanted
1:58.1	to just be Abby Halberstadt sitting here talking about it, that I wanted to bring in someone as a truly an expert in God's word, what really is very well
