    A Pregnancy Center and a Church, One Mission | Irma Rodriguez | Care Cast

    For decades, pregnancy centers have walked faithfully with moms, from the first conversation through the months and years that follow. At First Embrace in Orlando, a local church gets to walk right alongside them. Irma Rodriguez directs First Embrace, a pregnancy center that has served women and families since 1986 as a ministry of First Baptist Orlando. On this episode of Care Cast, she sits down with Care Net President & CEO Roland Warren to share what that partnership looks like. In this conversation: • How the pregnancy center and the church work toward the same goal: the Great Commission • Wanting every mom to see Jesus in the people caring for her • How their partnership works day to day • How moms find a lasting church family, and why some choose to come back and walk alongside other women ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BEING PRO ABUNDANT LIFE At Care Net, we believe it isn’t just about saving a baby.

    A Pastor’s Wake-Up Call: How Churches & Pregnancy Centers Can Work Together to Make Disciples

    What happens after a mother and father choose life? For Pastor Danny de Armas of @FirstOrlando First Baptist Orlando, the hope is that they don’t just leave a pregnancy center with the help they need. They find connection to the local church and people who will continue walking with them. In this episode of Care Net's Care Cast, Pastor Danny de Armas sits down with Care Net President and CEO Roland Warren to talk about what it looks like when churches and pregnancy centers actually work together. Danny puts his vision simply: “that every pregnancy center director has a direct conduit to pastors in their community who say, ‘We’re with you. How can we help you? What do you need?’” Churches have volunteers. They have resources. They have rooms sitting empty throughout the week. Danny’s challenge is for churches to take the initiative: go to pregnancy centers, build the relationship, ask what they need, and get to work alongside them. Because serving isn’t separate from discipleship. Danny talks about how Christians can stunt their own growth when they don’t serve and why partnering with pregnancy centers gives the Church a very real opportunity to live out the Great Commission. And choosing life isn’t the end of the story. The goal is for mothers and fathers to find lasting Christian community, hear the Gospel, and become disciples of Jesus. Caring for unborn life, serving mothers and fathers, strengthening families, sharing the Gospel, and making disciples is the work of the Church. IN THIS EPISODE: • What real partnership between churches and pregnancy centers can look like • Why local pastors need to make relationships with pregnancy center directors • Simple ways churches can offer volunteers, space, and resources • Why serving matters for Christian growth and discipleship • What happens after a mother and father choose life • How First Baptist Orlando and First Embrace work together • How pregnancy center ministry connects with the local church and the Great Commission FREE RESOURCE: PRO ABUNDANT LIFE PERSPECTIVES DEVOTIONAL Want to go deeper into what it means to be Pro Abundant Life? Care Net’s free Pro Abundant Life Perspectives Devotional looks at the factors that can lead mothers and fathers to consider abortion and how Christians can respond with a Gospel-centered, ministry-focused approach.

In this episode, Roland Warren goes beneath the surface of the abortion issue to examine its deeper roots and why lasting cultural change begins with restoring our relationship with God. If we want to address abortion, we have to address what is forming us. www.care-net.org

    16 Questions Every Couple Must Ask: "How Can I Stay?" vs. "When Can I Leave?"

    When a Dallas megachurch pastor challenged unmarried, cohabiting couples to stop making excuses and put a ring on it, 52 couples walked down the aisle in a single weekend. Why? Because cohabitation and covenant marriage aren't just two different relationship statuses—they are two completely different mindsets. One constantly asks, "When can I leave?" while the other asks, "How can we stay?" In this episode of the Care Net Podcast, Roland Warren breaks down why "living together" falls short of God’s design for family and abundant life. Roland walks through 16 vital questions every couple must answer to define their relationship, build a lasting covenant, and transition from conditional arrangements to a God-honoring marriage built to last.

    The Sanctity of Choice vs. the Sanctity of Life: Which Does Scripture Teach?

    Can Christianity support the idea of the "sanctity of choice"? As more public voices argue that Jesus never addressed abortion directly—or that Mary's response to God affirms a woman's right to choose—Christians are left asking an important question: What does Scripture actually teach? In this episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro examine these growing theological claims through the lens of Scripture. Together they explore Jesus' command to love our neighbor, Mary's humble obedience in Luke 1:38, and why the gospel consistently points to the sanctity of every human life rather than the sanctity of personal autonomy. You'll discover why the biblical response to an unplanned pregnancy is not condemnation or political rhetoric, but compassion, practical support, discipleship, and the hope found in Jesus Christ. This conversation also highlights Care Net's Pro Abundant Life vision—saving babies, strengthening families, and making disciples—as a faithful expression of God's design for life. Whether you're seeking biblical clarity, engaging difficult cultural conversations, or equipping others to defend life with both truth and grace, this episode offers thoughtful insights rooted in God's Word. Join the conversation as we ask a foundational question: Does Scripture teach the sanctity of choice—or the sanctity of life?
