In this episode of the We Love Life Podcast, Daniel Parks and Brian Ottinger celebrate an incredible milestone — 500 babies saved in 2025 — and then dive into the sixth healthy rhythm: connection to a local church.

We’ve already talked through sleep, rest, eating well, exercise, prayer, and time in the Word. But there’s one more rhythm that’s essential for every believer: being rooted and accountable in a local, Bible-preaching church.

Daniel and Brian unpack why the local church is God’s plan A, why accountability matters, and how discipleship and diversity in the body of Christ are key to spiritual growth. You’ll also hear powerful stories from the sidewalks and how the House of Refuge initiative is equipping churches to protect, prevent, and provide.

👉 If you’re not plugged into a church yet, check out the House of Refuge network at https://lovelife.org/refuge or email us at [email protected] — we’d love to help you find a place to belong.

Be encouraged, be challenged, and remember: the gates of hell will not prevail against the church.
