If my hypothesis about this reason for avoiding freedom in our bodies is true, it’s wrapped up in a stronghold of fear that needs to be rooted out, both at the individual and corporate level. We will not find freedom and wholeness this side of heaven if our churches and communities teach women, overtly or subtly, to be disdainful of and/or fearful of their own bodies. Such fear contrasts starkly with the love God has for each of us and the fact that He created us in His good image.
