Common objections to speaking on “abortion” in church: A mini-series for church leaders

Dave and Tim unpack the main reasons church leaders give for not speaking on "abortion". In each case they reveal the common misconceptions behind these concerns, and how they are not valid reasons for silence. This series will encourage and embolden church leaders to address the issue of "abortion" in their church confidently, and see that the churches who directly address "abortion" bear much fruit. #myth-busting

Objection #4: "I can’t speak on abortion because I’m just here to preach the gospel. Abortion is a side issue. If I talk about abortion, it will distract from the gospel."

Why is talking about "abortion" essential for everyone’s discipleship?

Why is addressing "abortion" an outworking of the gospel, not a distraction from the gospel?

Join Dave and Tim as they discuss why silence on "abortion" in a bid to "just preach the gospel" is in fact a witholding of the fullness of the gospel itself.

Did He tailor His message to suit the crowd?

Did He ever risk loss of reputation?
