Aug 7, 2024
Guest
Jackie Mize
Jackie Mize, author of 'Supernatural Childbirth', advocates for the belief that faith can lead to a pain-free birthing experience. She discusses the theological roots of this controversial idea, linking it to the Word of Faith movement. The conversation delves into whether or not pain-free births are physiologically possible, critiques the blend of mysticism and Christianity, and explores personal anecdotes about childbirth. Mize emphasizes that while faith can be powerful, it's essential to address the realities of pain and suffering in the process.
