The goal for many people in life has been rather simple. Get married and have a child or children. And yet there are many younger people these days who seem to be afraid of doing either option, especially the having kids part. It’s not a good time to have a kids, they say. And a quick look at the news these days might give you the impression that, yes, now is a terrible time to have children. Griffin Gooch, a GenZ theologian and expectant father, looks at the same news and says, there is never a good time to have children and you should have children anyway. He explained his position this way in an essay:
“The authors of Scripture wrote about children as if they were a blessing—an inherent good. So even if this world is marred and drenched in a horrible amount of bad, bringing something good into the world isn’t going to increase its bad. It can’t.”
So for this episode, I chat with Griffin Gooch about why GenZ and everyone else should have kids. Griffin is a theologian, writer and professor at a college in Michigan, a Fuller Grad, a University of Aberdeen Student - published in Christianity Today, Mere Orthodoxy, Inkwell, Christ & Pop Culture, Front Porch Republic, Peer, and Fare Forward.
