Addressing abortion starts with discipleship, not legislation. In this powerful conversation, Roland Warren, President of Care Net and author of The Alternative to Abortion, challenges Christians to move beyond politics and embrace a “pro-abundant life” perspective rooted in John 10:10. Drawing from his own story of an unplanned college pregnancy turned 43-year marriage, Roland reframes abortion as a discipleship issue—calling the Church to support not just life, but lives transformed by the Gospel. He shares practical ways churches can respond with compassion, healing, and hope to those facing pregnancy decisions.Main Topics:From Pro-Life to Pro-Abundant Life – Why saving babies isn't enough without also making disciplesShocking Church Statistics – 54% of abortion seekers identify as ChristiansMinistry, Not Politics – How small groups and churches can become safe, healing placesMary, Joseph & Making Life Disciples – Biblical models for gospel-centered careIf abortion is happening in our churches, what kind of gospel are we really preaching?Make a matching gift donation by June 10!View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Free Grand Design Video Course from DNA: Male and Female in the Image of God

You don't see a lot of mergers in the Christian ministry space, but one recent merger caught our eye here at MinistryWatch. That merger was between CareNet and ICU Mobile. We thought it would be good to have Roland Warren back on the program to explain why and how this merger occurred. Regular listeners to the program will remember that we had Roland on the show last year to discuss his book The Alternative to Abortion: Why We Must Be Pro Abundant Life. I'll have a link to that program in today's show notes. But for those who missed that program, or who have forgotten, Roland Warren has been the president of Care Net, the nation's largest network of pregnancy resource centers, for more than a decade. He's been an advocate for the unborn for much longer than that. Roland Warren has also helped bring fathers into the pro-life conversation, in part because of a tenure as president of the National Fatherhood Initiative, a post he held before coming to Care Net. I've interviewed Roland Warren many times over the years, including twice for my “Listening In” podcast, a podcast I did for a decade for WORLD News Group. I'll include links to those interviews in today's show notes. Those links are here and here. Today, though, we focus on the merger with CareNet and ICU Mobile because it's an example of what I think more ministries should consider, and that is a strategic merger with other like-minded organizations.
