In part 2 of "Understanding and Improving Our Conversations on Abortion", Joel and guest Seth Drayer, Vice President of "Created Equal" discuss arguments for abortion and how Christians can have better conversations about abortion.

Joel and Seth discuss whether men can and should have a "say" in legalization of abortion, whether abortion is loving and prevents suffering, and discuss whether the church has failed to discuss this issue adequately and educate their congregations.

Seth shares a great opportunity for high school students, young adults and adults to get more involved on an annual event called "The Justice Ride" February 28th through March 8th, 2025. Find out more about this at: https://www.createdequal.org/justiceride/

This is a conversation you don't want to miss! We have a special release of a two part series that needed to get out ASAP!

This week, Joel meets with Seth Drayer, Vise President of "Created Equal". In their conversation, Joel and Seth discuss the topic of abortion, including common misconceptions, and definitions and terms commonly used to confuse the topic.

Joel and Seth lay a foundation for  Christians who want to better understand the topic of abortion and ultimately have conversations with others to challenge thinking about the issue and recognize the flaws in abortion logic. Using this information, we can become better defenders of the vulnerable in our population.

We understand that abortion is a difficult topic. For those of you who abortion is a sensitive or hard conversation, please be aware that this discusses some processes used in abortion that may not be appropriate for younger children. Please use your discretion.

In this week's 10 minute SitRep, join takes a look at the difference between what Christians are saved "from" and what Christians are saved "for". 
Joel looks at two common topics Christians often mention when discussing salvation and analyzes how they line up to the Biblical message. 

This week, Join Joel and guest Glen Baker as they talk about what it looks like when learning to lead. Glen shares his experience as a laid back man, learning to listen to God's calling in his Life and learning to lead. He shares some incredible stories of being married to a  strong, independent, knowledgeable woman who lead many as an officer in the military and how they learned to lean into one another to live God's calling in their life.  

This week, Joel is joined by friend Ben McMahon. Ben shares 12 years of experience working in a juvenile detention facility, the struggles the young men experience, and how he tries to model his faith in his interactions. Joel and Ben talk about how the confusing times of teenage years is compounded by lies from society about what it means to be men, and the importance of the nuclear family. 

Join Joel in this week's strep, where he "airs-it-out" that men have a reputation for not changing dirty diapers. Joel challenges men this week to think about what deeper topics or situations men find themselves in that they would rather avoid, ignore, and let someone else handle- then to take the step to change their mentality.
