Who Decides How Many Children You Have? (Ep 17)

<p>Are these all yours? Do you know what causes that?<br /></p><p>Daniel and Allison Hartman have heard every comment a family with 11 children collects. This episode answers the question underneath all of them, and it is bigger than any headcount: who actually gets to decide?</p><p>They told their premarital counselor they were planning on four children. Daniel quietly hoped for twelve. Then Scripture rewrote the plan, and what followed was never a numbers game. It was a trust game.<br /></p><p>In this episode:</p><p>- The moment early in marriage that shifted how they thought about planning a family</p><p>- Psalm 127 and the Hebrew word behind "heritage," an entrusted portion, not a burden</p><p>- The movement people accuse them of, and why building identity on a headcount is idolatry</p><p>- Money, time, and patience: the three objections every large family hears, and how each one collapsed in the Hartman home</p><p>- The friend who lost a baby, and what trusting God with your womb actually promises</p><p>- What Daniel and Allison say to the couple who is outnumbered, tired, and hearing it from everyone<br /></p><p>"Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth." Psalm 127:4 NKJV<br /></p><p>Subscribe at <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://ArrowsAndAcres.com" target="_blank">ArrowsAndAcres.com</a> and never miss an episode.</p><p>Ready to go deeper than the podcast?
