It is not always easy to balance the need for compassion to the moms with the necessity of speaking convicting truth. That balance is essential to optimize the likelihood the women will come talk with us and consider what we have to say, BUT ALSO convict them not to take the innocent life of their child. Oftentimes, we err on one side or the other of these two vital components to effective sidewalk counseling. In this podcast, we offer suggestions to help make our outreach loving but convincing.

In this episode, Daniel and Vicky give a gentle rebuke along with encouragement. Many of us have grown disheartened with apparent church apathy regarding abortion. We ask, “Where is the church?” And grow discouraged. In this podcast, we exhort all of us not to ask this downer question, and focus on the reality that the church is very active in many areas of transforming souls and promoting the welfare of people and communities worldwide. I hope this helps us focus on the truth that WE are the church, and WE individually should be doing all God has called us to do!
