Helping Every Child Flourish: Ian Rowe on Faith, Education, and Opportunity

Introduction and Jennifer's Gymnastics Journey

Challenges in Gymnastics 

Debating Gender and Sports

The Impact of Trans Ideology

February is National Girls & Women in Sports Month. Jennifer Sey was an elite U.S. gymnast in the mid-1980s, later becoming a prominent corporate leader at Levi's and the founder of her own apparel brand, XX-XY. She shares how these experiences shaped her commitment to support and protect girl's and women's sports, as she and Jim discuss the impact of trans-ideology on having fair competition. They explore the intense pressures and physical demands of gymnastics, highlighting the culture of abuse and the toll it took on Jennifer’s mental and physical health, which ultimately contributed to her decision to leave the sport just before the Olympic trials. Jennifer emphasizes resilience, the importance of self-advocacy, and the challenges of navigating a changing cultural landscape while maintaining integrity and supporting female athletes.

Fair Play: Jennifer Sey on Resilience and Protecting Women’s Sports

Introduction and Personal Reflections

Dr. Wheeler's Journey and Revelations

The Struggles and Longings of Women

Personal Stories and Reflections

Dr. Wheeler, a former practitioner of second trimester abortions, shares her transformative journey toward becoming a pro-life advocate. She describes a pivotal moment when she became acutely aware of the moral implications of her actions, and how this led her to cease performing abortions. She shares about the cultural influences that shaped her views on feminism and reproductive rights before returning to the Christian faith later in life. Dr. Wheeler recounts her conversations with patients and peers on both sides of the abortion debate, aiming to introduce new perspectives compassionately. She also highlights her efforts in pro-life advocacy, while encouraging others to engage in compassionate, informed discourse.

 

When you give to Focus on the Family’s Option Ultrasound program, you’ll provide training and equipment to introduce a mother to her baby through an ultrasound! This moving experience saves lives and stops abortion.

 

Learn about Focus on the Family's pro-life ministry.

 

Rebekah Buell Hagan shares her powerful story of pursuing a chemically-induced abortion and then experiencing a change of heart which led to saving her baby's life. Dr. Bill Lile, a pro-life OB/GYN, explains how the abortion pill works, how its effects may be reversed, and how this option is being provided to women and teen girls who have second thoughts about having an abortion.
