Ep 1047 | 'Pain Free Birth:' False Promises & Bad Theology

Today, we break down the pain-free-birth movement and explore its theological roots. Can women truly experience a pain-free birth? Where did this concept originate, and why is it so controversial? In this episode, we dissect the claims made in the book "Supernatural Childbirth" by Jackie Mize. Mize encourages women to believe that with enough faith, they can overcome fear and pain, commanding their bodies to obey their faith declarations.
