| 0:00.0 | Today on The Girl Define Show, we are talking all about a popular technology that women are embracing everywhere and it's egg freezing and it's a way for women to basically bypass our biological clock. And our culture really, it's taken the approach that children are more like accessories than anything else. Have them or don't have them. If they fit into your life, great. If not, no biggie. If you want to save them for later, |
| 0:25.5 | that's an option too. And we see articles coming out like freeze your eggs, free your career, |
| 0:31.2 | or later baby, egg freezing technology is helping women kiss the mommy track goodbye. Or how about this? |
| 0:35.5 | A new fertility procedure gives women more choices in the quest to have it all. |
| 0:38.5 | But how should we as Christian women, women who are guided by a biblical worldview? How should we approach this? How should we think about our fertility? |
| 0:42.7 | I can tell you this right now that we should think differently. We have to view everything, |
| 0:47.7 | including this new egg freezing technology through a biblical worldview. We can't shy away |
| 0:51.9 | from these topics. We need to embrace them with grace head on. And that's what we're going to be unpacking today on the Girl to Find show. |
| 1:00.4 | What's up, Sisterhood? It's Bethany and Kristen here. And if you follow pop culture, if you, |
| 1:06.3 | you know, are in the medical world at all, then what we're talking about today is probably |
| 1:10.1 | going to be a topic that's very familiar to you. I mean, I was listening to a pretty conservative kind of Christian-based podcast the other day. And in the interview, the person who was being interviewed just threw it out there. Like, yeah, and so I went through the normal routine. You know, I froze my eggs, so I could focus on my career. And, you know, I think one day I do want to have children, but I'm not even in a serious relationship right now. |
| 1:30.3 | So we'll just see, like, we'll see, you know, I just want to have that option out there. And it was very much in line with what we're talking about. But what was so surprising to me was how that was not even like a blink of an eye. It was just like, oh yeah, totally. Like, of course that's a normal |
| 1:43.3 | part of the conversation for modern women is when you oh yeah, totally. Like, of course, that's a normal part of the conversation |
| 1:44.3 | for modern women is when you're young, you freeze your eggs so that you can have kids on your |
| 1:49.6 | time in your way. Um, you know, maybe you can even bypass marriage altogether. There are so, |
| 1:55.1 | so many options that are confusing, honestly, and hard for me to even wrap my mind fully around. But like Kristen said, |
| 2:04.5 | we as Christian women, here at Girl Define, getting back to God's design, we need to be bold |
| 2:10.6 | and we need to be unafraid and unashamed to question these things and to say, okay, you know, |
| 2:16.8 | is this a good approach? Why do I want to do this? |
| 2:19.5 | Why am I supportive of this? Why do I not bat an eye when someone mentions something like this? |
| 2:24.4 | God has a lot to say about children, about family, about, you know, just his design for generations. |
| 2:30.7 | And that's not something we think about very often. So today, we're going to dive into this topic. |
