Episode 83: The Story of the Curses

For 2018, we’re introducing a few changes! There’s new podcast art and a new tagline: inviting women to Biblically challenge the status quo. We’re going to dive into some deep subjects where we might have answers or we might be asking questions, but all with the hopes of helping us all better live out our faith.

To kick this off, we’re diving into the subject of Eve’s curse. Was Eve cursed? We say no. First we discuss what was cursed and how Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross took all of the curse for sin from people. We’re disturbing some theological truths to claim otherwise. Then we tackle explaining why the pain in birth wasn’t even punishment using the narrative of women and babies in the Bible, the character of God, and the actual conversation in Genesis 3.

We also discuss how having a Biblical perspective on childbirth is necessary for a pro-life stance. It’s really hard to convince women that God has blessed them with a child when you’re also saying that God is simultaneously cursing them.

Next week, we’ll wrap up this topic with some more conversation on curses (you know you’re excited) and why women are also commissioned to work.

Welcome to 2018!
