Importance of Nuclear Family Unit & Embracing Biblical Womanhood | with Alyssa Rosario
On the longest recorded episode of Heaven & Healing Podcast to date, I bring on my very best friend Alyssa Rosario (Linker).
Alyssa has been praying for my salvation for two+ decades and we have walked through every season of life together since we were 3. She is a born and raised Christian of a nuclear family unit, whereas I am just now coming to Christ as I approach my thirties and was raised by a single mother.
In this episode, we talk about the stark contrast of our upbringings and highlight the important advantage Alyssa had growing up in a nuclear, biblical family over me whose mom gave more love than I knew what to do with, but unfortunately did not know how crucial Christ was as the foundation of that love.
Alyssa spent her twenties walking within the guidelines of Scripture and because of her choice to maintain the obedience to the Lord she was taught in adolescence, she is now a happily, newly married homemaker with a God-fearing husband who provides for their household. She is flourishing as a woman as she prepares to expand their family. I, on the other hand, spent most of my twenties “following my truth,” living as a feminist, and going down one occultist hole after the other — and am still underway a heavy sanctification process as the Lord cleans house.
The difference lies in what she had over what I didn’t: a mom AND dad — two Christian parents who live as God calls us to, and as a result, raised extremely capable, functional, poised, virtuous children that are servants of Christ.
With this conversation, Alyssa and I get into how NECESSARY it is in this world to build a nuclear family on biblical principles to eradicate the sicknesses of fatherlessness, divorce, violence, sexual promiscuity and abortion that feminism has infected society with. Feminism ultimately seeks to dismantle traditional family paradigms as they are deemed “patriarchal” and “oppressive” in modern culture. Alyssa and I debunk those myths with data, facts, history, and Scripture.
We encourage women to submit to Christ and thus embrace the true integrity of womanhood rather than cheap thrills of feminism.
REAL empowerment lives in the truth God’s Word provides.
