Biblical Family Planning

In this episode of the Straight Truth Podcast, Dr. Josh Philpot and Dr. Richard Caldwell explore Christian perspectives on family planning, addressing questions that arise when Scripture is silent on specific matters such as the timing and number of children. Dr. Caldwell emphasizes the need for scriptural wisdom and judgment, the value and responsibility of children as blessings, and how a husband and wife should consult their attitudes, desires, and faith while considering family planning. He also highlights the role of parents, siblings, and church elders in providing guidance, the importance of wise decision-making according to the teachings in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, and addressing additional dilemmas such as the desire for more children, financial stability, and disagreements with parents on family matters.
