Thank you for listening to The Radiant Mission podcast! We are on a mission to encourage and inspire you on your walk with Christ and as you journey through life.
In Episode 12, we talk to a very special guest: Brittany McCardle of The Biblical Birth School. She is a wealth of knowledge on all things birth and the Bible.
In This Episode on Biblical Birth: Breaking Down Genesis 3 & Birth Misconceptions:
- What are the biggest misconceptions about birth today?
- That women are “cursed” (Genesis 3).
- “What happened after Eve ate the forbidden fruit.”
- It’s important to choose a version of the Bible that’s closest to the original version (Hebrew) such as King James or others. Different versions of the Bible can change meaning.
- Genesis 3:16 might read “her labor pains will increase” as opposed to versions of the Bible that are more word for word and will read “her conception and sorrow is increased.” This greatly changes the context of this verse.
- The Bible says that God only cursed two specific things: the serpent and the ground. Eve (woman) and her body were not directly cursed. We also read that the ground was cursed “for Adam’s sake,” an important phrase that we do not see with Eve at all. Nothing was cursed “for woman’s sake” or “for Eve’s sake.” That’s a significant omission.
- We see the very first prophecy of the Messiah. John 3:16 is a promise and Genesis 3:16 is also a promise.
- Words of advice
- Treat your pregnancy how you want your birth to go. Who you hire will impact your birth experience. If you don’t want interventions during your birth, avoid interventions during your pregnancy.
- It’s easy to be swayed by doctors and tests, be cautious. Put your trust in the Lord. Fear can fuel the alternative.
- Children allow us to have victory over the spiritual war we are in.
