SNAKE 93: Are You Delaying Children for the Wrong Reasons?

In this episode, we tackle two hard questions: is it sinful to make family decisions around affording nicer things, and is it sinful to wait until you feel financially ready to have children? We talk about the cultural trap that pushes families toward daycare, dual incomes, bigger houses, and more comfort, often at the expense of the home. Drawing from Proverbs 31 and a biblical vision of household life, we argue that children are not liabilities to postpone but blessings that often drive greater purpose, discipline, and productivity. The world says wait until you can afford children. Scripture teaches that children are wealth, and that faithful families must learn to resist the pressures of comfort, status, and fear.
