Ep. 34: Is Contraception a Faithful Choice for Christians?

Last month,  we discussed why we should think theologically about our bodies. Now we're beginning to do just that, and our first topic was voted on by our Instagram followers @wovenfertility: contraception. Its use is largely accepted among Christians, but that doesn't mean that Christians don't have hesitations and questions. Today we take a first look at why that may be. NOTE: This episode makes frequent mention of the words "sex" and "intercourse" and may not be appropriate for all audiences. Episode 29: Should we think theologically about our fertility? with Dr. Cameron Jorgenson is a great precursor to today's episode!
