Description: 
In a culture filled with confusion and fear, what does the science actually say about abortion and abortion pill reversal? Dr. William Lile—the “ProLife Doc”—joins Rich on The LifeCast to bring medical clarity and gospel hope to one of today’s most critical conversations. Dr. Lile shares the emotional journey of purchasing what was once the largest abortion clinic in Pensacola, Florida, and transforming it into a life-affirming practice committed to caring for women and protecting preborn babies. Drawing on decades of experience, he explains the science behind abortion pill reversal and challenges pastors to speak boldly about the sanctity of life with both compassion and truth. This episode is a compelling reminder that empowered education, love, and faith can bring healing, restoration, and courage to choose life.

Love wins—and Mark Schultz’s story is proof. After recently speaking at the Life Network Gala, Mark joins Rich Bennett for a heartfelt conversation about his adoption and the loving, courageous choice his birth mom made for him. Mark reflects on how pregnancy centers step into the chaos of a crisis moment and offer women and men the hope, peace, and support they need to choose life. He shares how he came to see his birth mother as a hero—and how pregnancy centers often become champions for heroes just like her. Mark also talks about the music he’s currently working on and how his faith and adoption story shape the “story-songs” he writes. This episode highlights the life-changing impact of compassion, presence, and the belief that love wins.

What do medical professionals really think about life and abortion? Today, Rich Bennett is joined by Dr. Kevin Weary, a Board-Certified OB/GYN who has delivered over 9,000 babies, and served as medical director and longtime board member at Life Network. Dr. Weary points out a troubling hypocrisy in our system: we perform medical procedures on babies in the womb and treat them as patients, yet some states, including Colorado, allow abortion up to birth—effectively treating those same preborn children as though they aren’t patients at all. He also addresses safety concerns surrounding the abortion pill and tackles major questions, like whether abortion is ever medically necessary after viability and whether pro-abortion laws are required in cases such as ectopic pregnancy. This is a thoughtful, truth-filled conversation you won’t want to miss.

When a mom feels seen, supported, and loved, it doesn’t just change her story—it can change her baby’s future. In this episode, Rich opens with updates on a major Supreme Court case impacting nonprofit centers, a recent pro-life rally in Boulder, and the weekly Story of Hope. He then welcomes Shelly Busby, Parenting Program Director at Life Network, for a conversation about how the Motherhood Program equips women to step confidently into motherhood while experiencing the love of Christ. Shelly shares how one-on-one coaching and the Baby Boutique meet both emotional and practical needs for moms. She also tells a powerful story of a mother whose life—and her child’s—was transformed through consistent, Christ-centered support. Together, they highlight how the program ultimately offers something deeper than resources: the lasting hope of the Gospel.

That’s exactly what the Down syndrome community does every day—and Jared Anderson is shining a spotlight on it.
