In the United States, as couples delay marriage and the birth rate continues to plummet, one thing has remained steadily on the rise—our love for pets. We will discuss why this is at heart only a symptom of the deeper issue of our culture’s growing aversion to having children.

DISCLAIMER: This episode is not a sweeping critique of all pet-owning couples, or of couples who earnestly desire to have children but have chosen to first get a pet. We also understand there are other exceptional cases. Rather, its purpose is to right the ship on our improper theology of children, which has been tainted in part by culture’s view that pets are adequate substitutes for kids.
