Was childbirth really cursed… or have we simply assumed that it was?

For many Christians, the idea that painful childbirth is Eve’s curse has been repeated for so long that we’ve rarely stopped to ask a simple question:

Does Genesis actually say that?

In this episode of the Faith-Based Birthing Podcast, we’re continuing our journey of restoring birth back to God’s original design by taking a fresh look at one of the most commonly accepted beliefs about childbirth. Rather than beginning with tradition or popular teaching, we’re going back to the biblical text itself and asking what Scripture actually says.

This isn’t an episode about controversy. It’s an invitation to become curious. It’s an invitation to open your Bible, ask thoughtful questions, and discover the beauty of studying God’s Word for yourself.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Why some of the most widely accepted beliefs deserve a closer look.

• The difference between what the biblical text says and what we sometimes assume it says.

• Why understanding God’s design in creation changes the way we think about pregnancy and birth.

• How asking better questions can lead to deeper confidence, stronger faith, and a greater appreciation for God’s wisdom.

Whether you’re expecting your first baby, preparing for another birth, supporting women as a birth worker, or simply love studying Scripture, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, investigate, and let God’s Word speak for itself.
