Distortions and lies that detract from the application of the gospel can slip in even to our birth choices.

This episode explores the similarities between purity culture and freebirth perfectionism, prosperity gospel and home birth ideals, and the ways that the same temptations presented to the first humans in the Garden of Eden and to Jesus in the wilderness reverberate into even our birth choices.

This one is part Bible study, part our usual reflections and discussions.
