The Greatest Power No One Talks About

In this clip from the Informed Saints podcast, Jenet Erikson pushes back on the idea that motherhood is a lesser calling — something a woman fits in around what really matters, rather than something that matters in itself.

That relationship with a baby, to build a life out of your own body, to literally carry the cells of that infant for the rest of your life, to be their whole world? Who gets that?

That’s an unspeakable privilege.

It is, hands down, the greatest power in the world.

It’s God-like.

And so we have got to restore this. Because there could be no greater lie in the world than that that is diminishing to a woman.

To be able to do that greatest, powerful thing.
