    From Saving Lives to Helping Communities Flourish: What the Care Net Community Report Reveals

    In this episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro unpack Care Net’s newly released Community Savings Report and reveal a story that often goes unnoticed. The data shows more than impact—it shows transformation. In just one year, Care Net’s network of pregnancy centers delivered over $143 million in free services to nearly half a million women and men, strengthening families, reducing strain on local social services, and quietly helping entire communities flourish. But the conversation goes deeper than the numbers. Roland and Vince contrast two models of care: • A transactional approach that addresses crisis but often leads to burnout • A transformational Pro-Abundant Life approach rooted in relationship, discipleship, and long-term support They also highlight why partnership with the local church is the missing link in many pro-life efforts—and how integration into spiritual community breaks cycles of crisis for good. 📊 This episode explores: • Why pregnancy centers are a net positive for communities • How holistic care renews both clients and staff • What happens when compassion, truth, and discipleship work together 🔗 Learn more about the Community Savings Report and Care Net’s Pro-Abundant Life vision. https://care-net/abundant-life-blog/care-net-community-report-2025

  2. When “Pro-Life” Isn’t Enough | Why the Church Must Reclaim the Conversation

    12/23/2025

    When “Pro-Life” Isn’t Enough | Why the Church Must Reclaim the Conversation

    Many Americans identify as pro-life—yet support policies that still allow most abortions to continue. What happened? In this CareCast episode, Care Net President & CEO Roland Warren and Chief Outreach Officer Vincent DiCaro unpack new data revealing a growing disconnect between the pro-life label and biblical conviction. When abortion is framed primarily as a political issue, definitions shift. But when life is rooted in the image of God, the standard does not move. This conversation challenges the church to step back into its role—not as a political echo, but as a moral and spiritual leader—offering a Pro Abundant Life vision grounded in Scripture, compassion, and discipleship. 👉 Watch, reflect, and join the conversation.

  3. Does the Pro-Life Movement Need a Reset? Why the Church Must Lead the Way

    Does the Pro-Life Movement Need a Reset? Why the Church Must Lead the Way

    Does the pro-life movement need a reset? In this episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro take a hard look at where the pro-life movement stands today—and where it needs to go next. Despite the overturning of Roe v. Wade, abortions are rising again, driven by the abortion pill and a culture that treats abortion as normal. Roland and Vince explore why lasting change won’t come from politics alone. True transformation starts when the Church leads the way—helping families, discipling parents, and living out God’s design for abundant life. Hear how churches like First Baptist Orlando are showing what this reset looks like: saving lives, strengthening marriages, and making disciples under one roof.

  4. From Boys to Fathers: Why the Boy Crisis is a Life Issue

    10/30/2025

    From Boys to Fathers: Why the Boy Crisis is a Life Issue

    A new University of Virginia study led by Brad Wilcox confirms what decades of data—and God’s design—already show: children flourish when fathers are engaged and married to moms. But as CareCast hosts Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro explain, the implications go far beyond family health. Care Net and Lifeway Research revealed that the most influential voice in a woman’s pregnancy decision is the man involved. That means today’s “boy crisis” isn’t just cultural—it’s a life issue. When boys grow up without strong male role models, they often become men who feel unprepared or unwilling to lead, love, and stay. In this episode, Roland and Vince connect the dots between fatherhood, marriage, and the pro-life movement—showing why mentoring boys is good, but married fatherhood is essential. Listen now and discover how the pro-life movement can move beyond saving babies to raising godly men who shape families and communities for generations.

  5. CareCast: You Can Be Cool or Holy—Not Both. What the “Coolness” Study Reveals about Abortion.

    CareCast: You Can Be Cool or Holy—Not Both. What the “Coolness” Study Reveals about Abortion.

    What does “cool” have to do with abortion? More than you think. In this episode, Roland Warren and Vince DiCaro unpack a recent study that defined six traits our culture calls cool—extroverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open, and autonomous—and ask a daring question: is the public case for abortion just another expression of those same values? From ad campaigns to celebrity activism, Roland and Vince trace how “cool” thinking drives today’s abortion narratives—and then contrast it with the holiness of Christ: sacrifice over self-preservation, humility over control, and compassion over convenience. This isn’t just about style; it’s about worldview. Discover how “cool” leads to self-focus, while holiness leads to abundant life. 🎧 Listen now to CareCast: You Can Be Cool or Holy—Not Both—and explore what happens when the gospel redefines what’s truly worth following.
