Segment 1: • Christians struggle to disagree well—social media makes it worse. • Todd & Scott Klusendorf have debated for years but remain friends. • Theological debates often aren't about core doctrine but secondary issues. Segment 2: • You can reason someone into being pro-life, but only the Gospel saves. • Pro-life work must be gospel-driven, not just about changing culture. • Objective morality requires an objective moral lawgiver—atheists borrow from Christianity. Segment 3: • Scott partners with Catholics on pro-life issues—Todd is hesitant. • Does working together send a false unity message? • If the Gospel isn't clearly proclaimed, is it worth the partnership? Segment 4: • Both sides want abortion abolished—disagreement is on strategy. • Incrementalism saves lives now, abolitionists demand immediate justice. • Are abolitionists hurting their cause by rejecting practical steps?

Guest speaker Scott Klusendorf speaks on "Thinking Biblically About Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Technologies."

What does it mean for Christ-followers to truly be pro-life? Is it merely about voting the right way or financially supporting our favorite candidate? Perhaps there is more to embodying the life-giving message of Jesus than meets the eyes.  Scott Klusendoft and Dr. Jeff discuss this timely topic and more. Pro-life Christians, take heart: the pro-life message can compete in the marketplace of ideas if Christians properly understand and articulate that message. Too many Christians do not understand the essential truths of the pro-life position, making it difficult for them to articulate a biblical worldview on issues like abortion, cloning, and embryo research. Listen to this crucial conversation as you seek to live out your faith compellingly. For more resources from Summit Ministries, visit our Resource Library at www.Summit.org/Resources.

We are sharing an episode of the Case for Life podcast, in which host Scott Klusendorf interviews Dr. Groothuis about his book "Fire in the Streets," which provides a comprehensive examination of critical race theory and its impact on contemporary society, often referred to as "wokeness." Definition of Critical Race Theory Dr. Groothuis defines critical race theory as an ideology rooted in neo-Marxism or cultural Marxism. It posits that society is divided into oppressors and the oppressed, with race being a primary factor in this dichotomy. According to CRT, the white race is seen as the oppressor, while people of color are viewed as the oppressed. This oversimplification fails to account for the complexities of individual experiences and achievements, particularly in the case of high-achieving individuals from minority backgrounds, such as many Asians in the United States. Historical Context of Critical Race Theory The rise of critical race theory can be traced back to the civil rights movement, but it has evolved into a more radical ideology that seeks to dismantle the existing social order rather than reform it. Dr. Groothuis highlights that figures like Derrick Bell and Kimberly Crenshaw have been influential in shaping CRT, which argues that systemic racism is ingrained in American society and institutions. This perspective contrasts sharply with the views of civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., who called for adherence to America's founding principles of equality and justice. Standpoint Epistemology A significant aspect of the discussion is the concept of standpoint epistemology, which suggests that knowledge and truth are determined by one's social identity, particularly for those who are oppressed. Dr. Groothuis warns that this perspective can lead to a dangerous relativism where the experiences of the oppressed are seen as the ultimate authority on truth. While it is essential to listen to marginalized voices, it does not grant them exclusive rights to define truth or knowledge in all contexts. The Role of Free Speech The podcast also addresses the implications of CRT on free speech. Dr. Grothuis argues that CRT is inherently hostile to free expression, as it often dismisses the viewpoints of those deemed part of the oppressor class. This creates an environment where dialogue is stifled, and only certain narratives are allowed to dominate the conversation. The idea that reason and logic can be tools of oppression further complicates discussions, as it undermines the foundation of rational discourse. What Is Intersectionality? Intersectionality, a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, is another critical concept discussed in the episode. It refers to the overlapping social identities that contribute to an individual's experience of oppression. For example, a Black woman may be seen as triply oppressed due to her race, gender, and sexual orientation. However, Dr. Groothuis emphasizes that this does not make her an expert on all issues related to those identities, and it does not negate the need for objective analysis and discussion. Implications for the Pro-Life Movement Finally, the conversation touches on the implications of critical race theory for the pro-life movement. Dr. Groothuis points out that if one accepts the premise of CRT, the unborn can be viewed as part of the oppressed class, particularly in light of the disproportionate rates of abortion among Black women. This perspective challenges the narrative that prioritizes bodily autonomy over the rights of the unborn, suggesting that a true commitment to justice would involve advocating for the lives of all individuals, including those yet to be born. Conclusion The podcast episode with Dr. Groothuis provides a thorough examination of critical race theory and its implications for society, free speech, and the pro-life movement. By understanding these concepts, listeners are better equipped to engage in meaningful discussions about race, justice, and the moral principles that underpin American society.

What anti-life lies do pro-life Christians believe? According to Riley Schneider, many Christians have subtle assumptions about children, parenting, and flourishing that contradict their pro-life convictions. And these lies are hindering the pro-life movement. As a young woman who faced death head-on, Riley is passionate about promoting life by advocating for unborn babies and parents in crisis. Tune in to hear her story and learn what Christians must do if we're truly going to protect vulnerable lives in our anti-life culture.

We are excited to officially invite you to the 2025 Colson Center National Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, May 30 to June 1, 2025. Our theme this year is “Be the Church.” We talk a lot about the Church on Strong Women, because the Church is God's plan A for restoring all things. In our day and age, it's easy to think of the Christian faith only in individual terms. But God is not just saving individuals—He's making a People, the Church. And before the Church can do what we're called to do, we must first understand who we are as the body of Christ. We'll explore that question this year, and hear from fantastic speakers like Rosaria Butterfield, Scott Klusendorf, Carl Trueman, and many others. So, come join us at CCNC 2025 and learn with the Church what it means to be the Church.

Recent statements by Donald Trump and JD Vance indicate that the nominees for the Republican Party for president are not pro-life. Vance has made various statements in recent interviews in which he says abortion is only a state's rights issue and that Trump would veto a federal abortion ban.   Fact: Abortion cannot be left up to the states alone to settle. Just as in slavery, there needs to be a federal remedy for child killing.   On today's program, Mark interviews Scott Klusendorf of Life Training Institute about the presidential election and the state ballot measures.   For more on Scott, go to: https://prolifetraining.com To view Scott's church ads on defeating Amendment 4, go to: https://apologetics.org/prolife   Mark and Scott provide guidance on how anti-abortion voters should respond this election.   ................   ✔️ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mark.r.harrington ✔️ iTunes – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mark-harrington/id827982678 ✔️ Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/62oyyCZG2LBk5OxR9z1c3t ✔️ Everywhere else – https://markharringtonshow.com/link-tree   The Mark Harrington Show is on Mark's Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts.

This week, author of 'The Case for Life' and pro-life expert Scott Klusendorf returns to unpack the implications behind the most popular pro-choice arguments. Are pro-lifers fighting for a theocracy?

What are we to make of Donald Trump's recent statements on abortion? Are pro-life Americans winning or losing the battle to protect the rights of unborn children? What is the way forward? This week, author of 'The Case for Life' and leading pro-life expert, Scott Klusendorf, joins Frank to analyze and unpack former president Trump's statements regarding abortion and why it has created concern among pro-life advocates. During the episode, Frank and Scott will answer questions like: Why has the pro-life movement consistently lost the vote of the American public and what can pro-lifers do to win the upcoming referendums? What underlying issues may be motivating Trump to not seek a ban on abortion? Is he really pro-life? Is the “will of the people” our standard? What should pro-life politicians say? How can they avoid tripping over the "what about" arguments against abortion? What about race and incest? Why do pro-abortion people falsely claim that women who suffer miscarriages or require surgery for ectopic pregnancies be jailed if abortion is outlawed in certain states? Is the pro-life view inherently religious? Are we trying to establish a theocracy?   Later in the episode, Frank and Scott will examine the concept of incrementalism and how it was used historically to fight slavery in the West. This eye-opening conversation will equip you to defend the sanctity of life as Scott exposes some of the weaknesses in the popular "pro-choice" arguments and explains some of the nuances and strategies needed to push the pro-life agenda forward politically.

As part of the ERLC Podcast, we will feature special episodes from the Research team from time to time to help equip you to think deeply about the most pressing questions we face in the public square.  As we continue our series on life, the Research team is bringing you a special interview today with Scott Klusendorf, the author of The Case for Life. Scott is a respected pro-life speaker and advocate, best known for his work with the Life Training Institute which prepares Christians to be able to articulate and defend the pro-life movement with rational and theological arguments. He has participated in debates against abortion advocates such as the Planned Parenthood directors and attorneys who have argued for abortion access before the Supreme Court. Each year, he trains thousands of pro-life students how to share their beliefs with their classmates and helps them understand the common objections to ending abortion. We hope that this long-form interview will help you begin to understand that Christian pro-life advocacy must be rooted in the image of God and is an intellectually defensible and coherent worldview. Thanks for listening to this production of the ERLC Podcast. Join us next time as we focus on the ERLC's policy work, especially as it relates to life.

In a time when our society finds itself deeply divided on the issue of abortion, it is more important than ever to approach this subject with respect and well-reasoned arguments. In this episode, Jason and Scott Klusendorf, author of “The Case for Life,” work through many of the immense challenges that come with the pro-life and abortion debate.Click here to order Jason's New Book: Parenting Gen Z: Guiding Your Child through a Hostile CultureJason Jimenez on Social MediaFollow @JasonPJimenez on TwitterFollow @JasonPJiminez on InstagramSubscribe to Jason Jimenez on YouTubeAdditional ResourcesChallenging Conversations book on AmazonStand Strong Ministries WebsiteStand Strong Ministries on Facebook

Dr. Juli Slattery returns to the podcast to debunk the unhealthy assumptions about marriage, sex, and relationships that many Christians have adopted from modern, secular culture. Rather than embracing these cultural views, we can humbly embrace what God has to say about things like sex, marriage, singleness, and the Church community. As we embrace God's design for these things, we are better equipped to bring truth and love to those who are broken, hurting, and confused.    Are you prepared to make the case for life? Scott Klusendorf's newly updated edition of The Case for Life provides the tools we need to protect preborn lives from the ideologies and arguments that deny their value—including the arguments that have overtaken the world in just the last few years.

While the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022 was a victory for life, we have so much more work to do. Most Americans are pro-choice and lack a vision for what a truly pro-life society could look like. Pro-life advocates must get better at articulating our position and moving our mission forward with energy and passion.This episode includes both data and answers to practical questions for our current historical moment when it comes to abortion in the United States.

Abortion has been packaged and falsely marketed as a form of healthcare necessary for women's empowerment, while pro-life advocacy has been mislabeled as anti-woman. Dr. Christina Francis knows this reasoning is backwards, and she uses her voice to fight for the wellbeing of women and babies. Today, she does that as an OB-GYN and CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG). Dr. Francis works hard to inform women about the realities of chemical abortion as well as the lifesaving option of abortion pill reversal. This week, she talks about her journey of becoming a passionate pro-life advocate, the harms of chemical abortion, the progress of her lawsuit against the FDA, and how Christians can be thoroughly pro-life.    Alliance Defending Freedom  American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists  March for Life  Live Action  The Case for Life: Equipping Christians to Engage the Culture by Scott Klusendorf  The Way of Medicine: Ethics and the Healing Profession by Dr. Fahr Curlin and Chris Tollefson    Secular culture has widely embraced the destructive ideas produced by Critical Theory.
