Episode 28: Why Do We Bleed? A Theology of Menstruation
Women often feel shame, disgust, embarrassment, or annoyance at their periods, but is that how menstruation should be viewed? In this episode, Jacque and Megan interview Kerena Lawler who has developed a theology of menstruation. She says that the menstrual cycle tells a story: creation, fall, redemption, and future restoration. Some questions discussed in this episode:
- Why is it valuable as women for us to be knowledgeable about our cycle?
- Why did God create women to menstruate?
- How do you think our reproductive cycle was before the fall? How should women view their periods now?
