Gospel-Centered Pro-Life Podcast

There are various reasons that people get involved with Sidewalk Outreach ministry. Many of those motivations are good but can cause problems if they become or remain our driving motivation. In this episode, we explore various motivations and talk about what we believe should be the primary motivation for ministry. https://sidewalks4life.com/motivation-for-sidewalk-ministry/  

We had a lot of positive feedback on the mock session we did a few months ago so we decided to do another one. in this episode, we listen to and critique a mock session Vicky and a local volunteer recorded with the volunteer pretending to be a victim of rape going into the abortion center. 

We praise God every time a woman chooses life at the abortion center. However, even though she chose life that doesn’t mean that the battle is over. Follow-up is so vital in helping her stay on track with choosing life. In this episode, we share some practical principles that we have learned over the years. https://sidewalks4life.com/when-mom-chooses-life-follow-up/

God’s Word is the most powerful tool that He has given us to change the hearts of Moms and others we encounter at the abortion centers.

If you’ve been involved with sidewalk ministry for any amount of time you faced the inevitable question “So what kind of work do you do?”. That question can be awkward and embarrassing to answer. In this episode, we talk about times we have faced this question and some God-honoring and Biblical ways to respond.  https://sidewalks4life.com/responding-when-someone-asks-what-do-you-do/

Fathers day has just past and we thought it would be great to do an episode about how to speak with fathers that you encounter at the abortion center.

Join us as we share our experiences and Biblical principles to be effective in reaching fathers. https://sidewalks4life.com/speaking-to-the-fathers/

We can’t believe that we’re already at episode 100 of the Gospel-centered Pro-life podcast. It has been such a blessing to produce so many encouraging and challenging episodes. We hope they have been a blessing to you. In this episode, we play short interviews we did with local volunteers as they share a word of encouragement or an amazing story. Look out for 100 more episodes in the future.

In your ministry at the abortion center, you will inevitably encounter other groups and individuals who are standing for life but aren’t necessarily associated with you. Some of those folks are great and some are a pain. Join us as we talk about how to deal with this from a Biblical perspective. https://sidewalks4life.com/relating-to-other-pro-life-groups/

We recently recorded a training video of a mock session of Vicky counseling a woman driving into the abortion center. We received a lot of feedback from a recent episode where we did a role-play session. We decided to do that again by playing the mock session and offering some critique of that session and some wisdom from God’s Word and our experience to help equip you.

The enemy uses all kinds of things to get us discouraged and doubting our calling to be a voice for the voiceless. Criticism is one of the things that he uses.

Our goal at the abortion center is to offer help and hope to those going in. Sometimes our pleas and offers of help are met with angry opposition. This is nothing new.

Literature is a powerful and effective way to share the truth and help abortion-minded women choose life. In this episode, we give some practical tips and insights on how to offer literature in the most impactful way.

Calling out to those going into the abortion center is a powerful way to reach them with hope and help. We hope this episode will encourage, equip, and train you to be confident in lifting up your voice to give a voice to the voiceless.

We’ve been asked several times “What do you say in a one-on-one conversation with an abortion-minded woman?” We’ve taught on the 3 talking points we use but we thought it would be a blessing if we role-played a few one-on-one conversations for you. We’re not professional actors and this is off-the-cuff but we did the best we could to help act out how those conversations might go.

What do you say to a mother walking into the abortion center to kill her preborn child?

We are continuing in our training series and in this episode, we talk about the materials that are necessary to have in your outreach at your local abortion center.

The issue of birth control is one that is rarely talked about in Christian circles. Many just assume it's ok and are uninformed about the potential harm it can do to unborn children. In this episode, we look at the subject of birth control from a pro-life and Biblical perspective. 

The enemy uses all kinds of things to discourage and ultimately disqualify people from ministry. However, oftentimes the things we feel disqualify us are the things that make us qualified. In this episode, we talk about disqualifications for ministry and give some guidance and encouragement that will help keep you in the battle for LIFE. https://sidewalks4life.com/what-disqualifies-one-from-minist...

We might think after a woman has chosen life at the abortion center that she won’t return. Sadly, that’s not always the case. In this episode, we share a case study of a young lady that wavered several times but each time God gave her a sign which eventually led to a solid choice for life. https://sidewalks4life.com/case-study-of-a-woman-who-scheduled-the-abortion-5-times/
