This Sanctity of Life special holds a message very dear to my heart. In a post-Roe America, it is absolutely vital that the Church be engaged and active. If pastors understood the opportunity for ministry to hurting and troubled hearts impacted by pregnancy and abortion, they’d jump on board with both feet. The abortion industry isn’t there to pick up the pieces of shattered lives, but God’s Church is. They can walk with them through an unexpected pregnancy or the dark valley of healing after abortion. Churches and pro-life pregnancy centers create a partnership that will save lives for now and eternity. And we provide listeners with the tools to help.
