    It's been over two years since Roe v. Wade was overturned, so what now for the pro-life movement? In this episode, we're joined by Stuart Hamilton, Pro-Life Activities Coordinator for the Archdiocese of Louisville. Stuart shares his personal journey of faith, his experience in youth and campus ministry, and how the Church is responding to crisis pregnancies and building a culture of life in a post-Roe world.We explore the evolving mission of the pro-life movement, the importance of evangelization and education, and initiatives like Walking with Moms in Need and the Kentucky March for Life. Stuart reminds us that being pro-life is not just about changing laws; it's about changing hearts and offering hope, support, and love to those in need.
