92. Life is in the Blood: My RhoGAM Story
05/14/24 • 46 min
Have you ever considered the importance of your blood? In this episode, the final installment in our series on God's Design for Women's Health, we bridge the gap between the Bible and science. I invite you into my personal narrative on the complex choices surrounding RhoGAM, a blood product that often sparks debates in birth communities. We'll explore the biological importance and Biblical sacredness of blood, delve into scriptural references, and encourage you, the listener, to embark on your own journey of informed decision-making in the medical realm.
The discussion takes a critical turn as we unpack the controversial history of the RhoGAM injection and its widespread use for expectant mothers with negative Rh blood types. Through my own story of navigating the medical system and making choices that resonated with my convictions, I cast a light on the implications of introducing foreign substances into our bodies. The conversation extends to paternal certainty, pooled blood risks, and the weighty consequences of medical interventions, prompting a deeper reflection on the statistics and advice we're presented with in matters of health.
As we prepare to move forward with powerful new testimonies in our upcoming series, I encourage walking in God's light, embracing our missteps, and finding solace in the grace that renews our spirit. Carry the essence of this episode with you and contemplate the profound connection between our physical wellbeing and spiritual health.

91. A Biblical Take on Body Image and Self-Esteem
Feeling overwhelmed by the constant barrage of perfection on social media? We know how that can chip away at your self-esteem, which is why we are bringing you a refreshing perspective on body image rooted in Scripture. In our latest episode, we delve into the heart-wrenching reality faced by young girls and women who grapple with body dissatisfaction. The painful prevalence of eating disorders and societal pressures is laid bare, but we counter these challenges with the liberating truth that we are all exquisitely crafted in the image of God. As we unfold the stats and stories, we aim to arm you with a grace-filled lens to view your own reflection.
Join us for a soul-nourishing discussion where we highlight the significance of cherishing inner beauty and the spiritual essence of our being. Drawing wisdom from Psalm 139 and 1 Samuel, we explore how focusing on the condition of our hearts is paramount in God's eyes. Through my experiences as a makeup artist and pilgrim on the journey of self-acceptance, I share how to combat negative thoughts with prayer and Scripture. Let this episode encourage you to embrace your God-given worth and step into a week radiant with confidence, armed with the powerful reminder from Proverbs 31 that a God-fearing woman's worth is beyond measure.
