We know it’s been a tough year! Lisa Pinney from the Pittsburgh Transformation Center joins Beth Diemert in discussing self-reflection, living intentionally, and having a healthy work/life balance while keeping Christ at the center of it all. Lisa shares how she uses her own personal experiences to help others heal, and how we can separate “being” from “doing” in order to best hear and receive what God wants to give us.

With many branches of the pro-life movement, it is important to recognize the ways we can work together utilizing our various strengths to achieve the ultimate goal: to make abortion unwanted today and unthinkable for future generations.

Rev. Arnold Culbreath joins us to discuss a new initiative for pastors nationwide. He expands upon the Jeremiah 1:5 project’s goals to increase awareness of abortion and its impact on the black community, to decrease the favorability of abortion, and to reduce the number of abortion providers and the number of abortions in the black community.

Abortion is a very deep and sensitive topic – one that many churches avoid speaking about from the pulpit. However, abortion tends to be a symptom of something much deeper in women, so it is an important topic that should not be overlooked. There are very effective ways to approach this topic along with providing practical resources for those within the church community directly. Betty McDowell, Heartbeat International’s Vice President of Ministry Services, hosts a panel discussion about nurturing and educating church communities while remaining compassionate and helpful.
