In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, my friend Christina and I talk about womanhood, identity in Christ, and wholeness for childfree women in the church. We talk honestly about the questions people ask and the assumptions that can sting. Christina shares how healing has shaped her choices, how she and her husband have grown closer to God together, and why childfree women can be a gift to Christian community. In this conversation: - How to walk with God when your life does not match the expected script - Practical ways churches can make space without pushing women into boxes - Why there is room for every woman, moms included, in God's story If you have ever felt unseen or "less than," this one is for you.
