Ep. 3: Why Sooner Might Be Better — A Biblical (and Practical) Case for Having Kids Earlier
In a culture that says “wait until you’re ready”, we’re taking a different route — one that’s shaped by Scripture and real-life wisdom.
In this episode of Foundations for the Childbearing Years, we’re talking about why sooner might actually be better when it comes to having kids — not out of pressure or fear, but out of trust in God’s design and a long view of motherhood and legacy.
You’ll hear:
- Why the Bible doesn’t treat children as a burden, but a blessing worth receiving
- How delayed motherhood is often rooted in fear, control, or cultural narratives
- Practical reasons why having children younger can be physically, emotionally, and spiritually beneficial
- What it looks like to trust God’s timing even when the world tells you to wait
- A freeing reminder: you don’t have to be perfectly ready to begin
Let’s build a foundation that lasts — for you, your future babies, and generations to come.
