Marriage After God - Biblical advice, practical tips, and inspiring stories to strengthen your relationship and deepen your spiritual connection

When Unplanned Becomes Purpose - Interview with Roland Warren


Listen Later

In today's episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron interviews Roland Warren, CEO of Care Net, who shares his powerful journey from facing an unplanned pregnancy as a Princeton student to leading one of the largest pregnancy care networks in America. Through his story and ministry experience, Roland presents a transformative perspective shift from being merely "pro-life" to embracing what he calls "pro-abundant life."


In this profound conversation, we explore:

  • How Roland's personal experience with unplanned pregnancy shaped his ministry
  • Why the traditional "pro-life" label falls short of God's complete vision
  • The crucial role fathers play in pregnancy decisions
  • How the story of Mary and Joseph provides a biblical model for facing unplanned pregnancy
  • The church's vital role in supporting vulnerable families
  • The connection between the Great Commandment, Great Commission, and the sanctity of life
  • Why discipleship must be at the heart of pregnancy care ministry


Whether you're passionate about life issues, interested in family ministry, or simply want to understand how to better support those facing unplanned pregnancies, this conversation offers biblical wisdom for embracing God's complete vision for life and family.
