Listen "Stop Calling Children Inconvenient"
Episode Synopsis
We are sponsored by America World Adoption Agency. Join us in moving God’s kingdom forward in supporting adoption by signing up for their emails here.We love our kids. We really do. We just don’t always love the sticky floors, the endless questions, the “surprise” tantrums in the Target parking lot, or the way someone always needs a snack the literal second we sit down. But somewhere along the way, our culture decided that children themselves are the burden — and that’s where we draw the line.In this episode, we push back on the modern “kids = life-ruiners” narrative and look at what Scripture actually says (spoiler: only blessings, zero curses). We explore why children are image bearers, sanctifiers, future world-changers, and, yes, occasional free labor and potential retirement plans.If you’re a tired parent, a hesitant soon-to-be parent, or just someone who’s accidentally internalized the cultural eye-roll toward kids, come laugh, rethink, and get recalibrated with us — clearly.📚 Additional ResourcesWho Should a Church Help (and Not Help)?Your Child Is Your Neighbor — The Gospel CoalitionA Jesus Heart for Children (Part 1)Children: Burden or Blessing?The Sanctity of Unwanted Life
