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. Maybe you've read books and you've bought courses that guarantee if you have the right amount of faith. If you practice the right things, if you say the right things, then you will be
0:22.3	guaranteed a pain-free and comfortable birth. Today, we are talking about the theological
0:27.7	roots and the theological concerns I have with this idea as well as discussing the physiological
0:36.9	possibility of a pain-free birth on today's episode of Relatable.
0:42.5	It's brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers.
0:44.4	Go to Good Ranchers.com.
0:45.9	Use Code Alley at checkout.
0:47.0	That's Goodmanchers.com, code Alley. Hey guys, welcome to Relatable.
1:00.3	Today we are talking about a pretty controversial topic, and that is pain-free birth.
1:06.5	This is a subject that a lot of you have been asking me to cover for a while.
1:12.0	Is it possible to have a birth that is really pain-free? And what are the philosophical, ideological,
1:17.8	even theological roots of this idea? If you're like me, I have given birth and I love the idea
1:26.9	of having a pain-free birth because my births have not
1:31.6	been pain-free. None of them have. And I have had really difficult births in a lot of ways
1:38.7	and very difficult recoveries. And so this idea of being able to give birth in a way that is without the trauma, without the
1:47.7	physical and mental pain sounds really good. And I've followed some accounts and I've read some
1:55.8	books and I've heard the ideas over the past few years that tell me if you do or say or practice
2:03.7	XYZ, you will be able to give birth without pain. And I've even had some friends who say
2:10.6	that their births were so smooth, so quick, so pain-free, even without an epidural. And so I know that it is possible for people to have more
2:20.1	comfortable births, but I really wanted to look into this idea. And again, the roots of this idea,
2:26.5	this idea that you can have a supernaturally powered pain-free birth. Where does that come from? What do I think about it? And do I actually
2:37.8	think that this idea and some of the assumptions within it, some of the theological principles
