The Alternative to Abortion: Why We Must be Pro Abundant Life | Roland Warren
Manage episode 486751991 series 3294671
Addressing abortion starts with discipleship, not legislation. In this powerful conversation, Roland Warren, President of Care Net and author of The Alternative to Abortion, challenges Christians to move beyond politics and embrace a “pro-abundant life” perspective rooted in John 10:10. Drawing from his own story of an unplanned college pregnancy turned 43-year marriage, Roland reframes abortion as a discipleship issue—calling the Church to support not just life, but lives transformed by the Gospel. He shares practical ways churches can respond with compassion, healing, and hope to those facing pregnancy decisions.
Main Topics:
- From Pro-Life to Pro-Abundant Life – Why saving babies isn’t enough without also making disciples
- Shocking Church Statistics – 54% of abortion seekers identify as Christians
- Ministry, Not Politics – How small groups and churches can become safe, healing places
- Mary, Joseph & Making Life Disciples – Biblical models for gospel-centered care
If abortion is happening in our churches, what kind of gospel are we really preaching?
