E263: Why Birth Control Blocks God’s Blessings w/Abbie Halberstadt | Lila Rose Show

Abbie Halberstadt, content creator and mother of ten, shares why on her very first date she told her now husband that birth control would never be an option. Drawing on commonsense and scripture, Abbie unpacks the heart behind the truth that God is in charge of our fertility, not us—and why this is a truth both Protestants and Catholics can agree on. She opens up about how living with radical faith has taught her humility and trust in God’s plan, even when it includes two sets of twins! Tune in to be inspired to embrace the ultimate adventure of surrendering every part of your life to Him.
