Spiritual Awakening: Birth & the Transition into Motherhood | TRM Podcast Ep. 7

07 – Spiritual Awakening: Birth & the Transition into Motherhood

The Radiant Mission Podcast | Episode 7
Hosts: Rebecca Twomey @theradiantmission & Rachel Smith

Thank you for listening to The Radiant Mission podcast! We are on a mission to encourage and inspire you on your walk with Christ and as you journey through life.

In Episode 07, we transition from spiritual warfare into a new topic: birth and motherhood and how these experiences can shape a new spiritual awakening.

NOTE: possible trigger warning as we will discuss c-sections, fears, and birth related descriptions.

In This Episode on Spiritual Awakening: Birth & the Transition into Motherhood:

• Spiritual Warfare in Birth
  • The devil attempting to sabotage birth experiences to separate us from our Creator
  • The enemy attempting to separate us as mothers from our children
  • Spiritual warfare and stronghold aspects: depression, postpartum depression, etc.
    • Spiritual oppression: intrusive thoughts post-birth
    • Demons prey on this
• Trauma in Birth
  • A c-section is the only major surgery where a person is awake during the surgery
  • The medical system feeding fears about something happening to baby – seeds of fear and doubt
  • Prayer is powerful
  • Everything we talk about is rooted in the spiritual realm – we are in a spiritual battle – this is what it looks like
  • Birth trauma is a battlefield
  • The enemy wants to steal so much from mothers during birth and postpartum
• Bridging the Gap Between Spiritual Warfare and Coming into Motherhood
  • The Lord uses these experiences (spiritual battle) to save
  • He can find us in these pits if we allow Him to
  • He can bring us peace that surpasses understanding
  • Birth led me (Rebecca) back to the Lord fully – in the darkness of an unnecessary cesarean (unnecesscerean), He led me back to Him
  • The Lord wants to give us life and give it abundantly
  • Yahweh is the WAY – following His way is most important, pray for Him to make your path clear
• The Enemy Attacks Us During Birth
  • He uses fear to scare and confuse us
  • He seeks to destroy
  • Being aware is the first step

Bible Verses Mentioned:

Exodus 17 – Aaron and Hur holding Moses’ arms up during the battle

Psalm 139:13-14:

“You created every part of me;
    you put me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I praise you because you are to be feared;
    all you do is strange and wonderful.”
