Ep. 226 - Why Your Pregnancy Center Needs a Fatherhood Program


Listen Later

Are you looking for ways to better engage men and fathers in the pro-life movement? In this episode of the Pro-Life Team podcast, John Merworth and Jacob Barr sit down with Mike Yawler from A Woman's Concern to discuss one of the most successful fatherhood programs in the country. Discover how shifting the focus to include men can lead to transformative outcomes for families and unborn children.

Mike shares the heart behind the Courageous Dads program and the online platform Courage Starts Here. We explore how involving the father of the baby early in the process significantly increases the likelihood of a couple choosing life. By shifting the perspective from the man being a side piece to being a vital part of the story, pregnancy centers can provide more holistic care and support.

The conversation covers practical strategies for marketing to men, including the use of targeted landing pages and social media. Mike explains the importance of an intentional intake process that makes men feel valued rather than judged. You will also hear about the impact of relationship education and marriage counseling, which help couples build stable foundations for their growing families. Mike shares a powerful success story of a couple who moved from a toxic relationship to a healthy marriage through the support of these programs.

Whether you are a center director, a volunteer, or someone passionate about supporting families, this video offers a roadmap for creating a culture of courage and grace. Learn how being curious rather than judgmental can open doors for transformation and long-term success.
