Summary

Today, we break down the pain-free-birth movement and explore its theological roots. Can women truly experience a pain-free birth? Where did this concept originate, and why is it so controversial? In this episode, we dissect the claims made in the book "Supernatural Childbirth" by Jackie Mize. Mize encourages women to believe that with enough faith, they can overcome fear and pain, commanding their bodies to obey their faith declarations.

0:00.0	Pain-Free Birth, is it possible? You've probably heard of this supernatural birth, pain-free-birth movement.
0:10.0	Maybe you've read books and you've bought courses that guarantee if you have the right amount of faith.
0:18.0	If you practice the right things, if you say the right things, then you will be guaranteed a pain-free and comfortable
0:25.0	birth. Today we are talking about the theological roots and the theological concerns I have with

1:34.2	And I have had really difficult births
1:37.9	in a lot of ways and very difficult recoveries.
1:40.6	And so this idea of being able to give birth in a way that is without the trauma, without the physical and mental pain sounds really good and I've followed some accounts and I've read some books and I've heard
