Gospel-Centered Pro-Life Podcast

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! www.sidewalks4life.com/equipping-articles

This episode is an inspiring time of relating true stories of when the Holy Spirit intercedes powerfully while we are ministering on the sidewalks of the abortion centers. His presence is sometimes miraculous words He brings to us, sometimes miraculous protection, sometimes gentle rebuking to guide us from self-righteousness to God-righteousness. This epsiode will encourage you to trust His power to equip and exhort.

We need to be prepared in season and out of season with biblical truth as 2 Timothy 4:2 reminds us.

We give practical advice on how to use the Bible effectively in dealing with common issues you may face. https://sidewalks4life.com/equipping-articles/

Many sidewalk outreach teams minister on the sidewalks of Planned Parenthood facilities. A large income source now for PP is transgender people seeking hormone therapy.

In this episode, we offer some ideas for understanding the main issues transgender people face as well as some practical suggestions on how to offer help to them while on the sidewalk. https://sidewalks4life.com/equipping-articles/

In sidewalk outreach, we often hear the pro-abortion people taunting us with this question: “Don’t you have better ways to spend your time?” Sometimes, the struggle and lack of visible fruit are so significant that we even ask ourselves this question. In this episode, we answer this question with insights from Habakkuk. This passage can guide us in redirecting our focus when faced with discouragement and disappointment as we struggle to serve God well. https://sidewalks4life.com/dont-you-have-better-ways-to-spend-your-time/

Vicky and I have been doing a lot of traveling lately so we're re-running a few episodes. We hope this one is a blessing to you. As Christians, we are in a spiritual battle but that battle is at its fiercest at the abortion centers where innocent lives are destroyed. God has given us spiritual armor to help us in this intense battle. Join me as I teach through Ephesians 6:10-17 and how to put on the armor of God.

This is a rerun episode from 2020. An oldie but goodie. Any ministry can lead to burnout, especially an intense ministry like sidewalk outreach at an abortion center.

A great strategy in counseling women who are determined to abort is to help them understand who they are and who they want to be. Often, these women and men are willing to examine the disconnect between who they are and who they want to be. In this episode, we explore how we can use that disconnect to guide them to a choice for life. https://sidewalks4life.com/equipping-articles/

This episode examines the contribution of pro-life pioneers who paved the way for us to minister more effectively today.

In this episode, we explore the critical issue of disunity and how we sometimes wrongly use weapons to fight each other rather than unite against a common enemy.

We have very limited time to speak to the women we minister to on the sidewalks of abortion centers.

In this episode, we discuss how to best talk about abortion control in sidewalk outreach ministry. https://sidewalks4life.com/equipping-articles/

This is a highly contentious issue. Many devout Christians have strong feelings about the answer. Many have never really examined the core issue: are unborn humans people who deserve equal protection under the law? If so, should those who intentionally bring about their death be prosecuted? In this episode, we examine this complex issue from a Biblical and logical perspective. https://sidewalks4life.com/equipping-articles/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j3X6eVWFqA
