Ep. 121 - The Image of God and IVF: An Ethical Dilemma Christians Can't Ignore - w/ Abigail

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) has been making headlines in recent months, causing a lot of debate within Christian and pro-life circles…

So what is it? And how should we as Christians view IVF?

In this episode we discuss what IVF is, the implications of treating embryos (tiny babies) as commodities, the moral dilemma of freezing and discarding them, and how these practices conflict with a Biblically-consistent understanding of personhood. We also explore how trusting God’s sovereignty is essential in all aspects of our lives: even when it comes to having children… or not having children.

Join us as we engage in a compassionate dialogue about infertility, ethics, logic, and the sanctity of life!

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Psalm 139:13-14 ESV
