With the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June of 2022 many pro-life Americans, many Christians, hoped that would bring the change we long for in valuing life. 

It’s been more than 2 years since that momentous Supreme Court decision, and Americans, when given the option, have chosen more abortions and more pro-choice laws, not fewer. 

Roland Warren, President & CEO of Care Net – one of the nations largest and oldest pro-life ministries, and author of The Alternative to Abortion, says the issue is not a legal one but rather a matter of the heart.

He and his then-girlfriend, a young Christian  couple, were faced with an unexpected pregnancy and encouraged to have an abortion. They chose to get married and raise a family.

With a heart of understanding from his own personal story and a “download from God”  Roland challenges us to see abortion as a matter of discipleship – a challenge to not just live – but to live the abundant life – to disciple hearts to live and love like Jesus.

Also in this episode, there was a time Shawna felt so anxious she locked herself in her bedroom, afraid to even walk down the hall to the kitchen to get a glass of water. But recently, she was home alone for 12 days and never once felt anxious. It didn’t happen all at once, but overtime Jesus has untangled the knots of her anxious heart.
