Deep dives
Children as a Blessing and God's Design for Discipleship
God's plan is for children to be seen as a blessing and for families to raise children in the home to know Him. It is not okay to not see children as a blessing. The biblical principle is to have as many children as you can disciple in the ways of God.
Considerations for Delaying Having Children
While it is not a sin to delay having children, it is important to question our motives and align them with scripture. The cultural phenomenon of prioritizing personal enjoyment and stability before having children should be thoughtfully examined in light of biblical principles.
God's Plan and Trusting His Timing
God's plan for discipleship includes the family unit, where children learn about Him and His ways in the home. It is important to trust God's timeline and seek His guidance when considering the appropriate time to have children.
Challenging Cultural Norms and Trusting God's Design
In a culture that values personal freedom and individual desires, it may be challenging to embrace God's design for raising children. However, it is essential to align our thinking and actions with what the Bible teaches, even if it goes against societal expectations and norms.
There’s a lot of changing opinions on kids today. Should you have them? How many do you need to have? How long should you wait? We try to answer all of those on this weeks episode!
