The LifeCast

Informed women make empowered decisions—and Early Pregnancy Care is changing outcomes. Rebecca Stone— board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with over 21 years of experience in women’s health—joins Rich Bennett to share how Life Network’s Early Pregnancy Care program is providing informed, compassionate support to women in crisis pregnancies. Drawing from her clinical experience, Rebecca explains the top dangers of chemical abortion pills, referencing this week’s LifeCast Headline about the recent Senate hearing testimony showing complication rates far higher than what’s listed on the FDA warning label and a lack of medical oversight. She breaks down why claims that these pills are “as safe as Tylenol” are dangerously misleading. Rebecca also shares a powerful story of a woman who entered the clinic abortion-minded but, through the care and education provided by the Early Pregnancy Care program, chose life for her baby.

The most vulnerable among us don’t need the Church on the sidelines—they need it in the driver’s seat. On this episode of The LifeCast, Rich Bennett is joined by Andrew Wood, a passionate pro-life and fatherhood advocate, speaker, author, husband and father of six, and the former Director of Church Outreach for Care Net. Together, they address the recent legal change in Colorado that overturned the state’s ban on abortion pill reversal. They also discuss how the Church must step into its role as the leading voice for life. Andrew challenges pastors and congregations not to sit on the sidelines, but to actively defend the most vulnerable and reflect the image of God in how they respond. This conversation offers practical, hope-filled ways churches can create safe spaces of care so that families in crisis run to the Church—not away from it.

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.
