Summary

“Child free” is a phrase that populates comment sections on social media, Reddit threads, news articles, and more.

It’s more than a little trendy to at least entertain the idea of forgoing having children altogether.

But is it biblical?

I sit down with my good friend, Jennifer Flanders from

Flanders Family Home Life, chat about the biblical implications of a child-free lifestyle.

We also chat all things birth control and what it looks like to live a surrendered life before the Lord—in every area, including, but not limited to, our fertility.

Jennifer is one of my favorite humans on the planet, and I know you’ll appreciate her wisdom!
