I’ve followed the work of sisters Kristen Clark and Bethany Baird since they published their first book, Girl Defined, in 2016. Their ministry by the same name is all about helping women grow in their love for God and their understanding of what it means to live out His design for their femininity. Now that they’re both married with children, they’ve added mentoring for motherhood to their speaking, writing, and podcasting. Last week I joined Kristen virtually for a conversation about having babies. What does it look like for Christian couples to embrace the good gift of new life in a culture that sees babies as accessories or financial burdens to avoid? Why is there so much pressure against starting a family? And how is the hard work of parenting related to the gospel? We talked about this and more in our conversation.
