Christianity Today – “The Fruitful Callings of the Childless By Choice”
I am very pleased to share with you my first article for Christianity Today – “The Fruitful Callings of the Childless By Choice.”
Here’s a quote from the piece:
“If the essence of marriage isn’t procreation, then maybe we should re-examine the way we treat married Christians who choose not to be fruitful and multiply.
Skipping over a procreative opportunity isn’t a rejection of God’s purpose for me. When I think of what I was created for, what my purpose on this earth is, I don’t think of babies. While it’s entirely possible that my husband and I might change our minds in the future and have a child, or accidentally get pregnant and have that choice negated, becoming a mom won’t change my purpose.
My purpose is not determined by my ability or desire to reproduce.”
