    ERI Update - Our Top 3 Goals for 2020

    After hiking Crabtree Falls Josh shares what has been going on behind the scenes at ERI, including finding Rachel's replacement and his three big goals for the rest of 2020. Josh recorded this in the field with just his camera mic so the audio isn't the best. Also, the camera ran out of space 20 seconds before he finished so the audio noticeably switches to his backup phone recording at that point. Sorry about that! 0:00: Intro; 0:50: Footage and Pictures from Crabtree Falls; 1:36: Rachel's resignation; 2:22: Rachel's replacement, Emily Albrecht; 5:14: Goal #1; 6:51: Goal #2; 8:25: Goal #3; 16:24: Exactly what we would do with your increased giving right now.

    LIVE SPEECH AUDIO: Q and A in Ireland

    In February 2020 Josh Brahm was invited to speak at multiple pro-life events in Ireland. This is from a Q&A session after one of those events. Questions: 0:00: How would you respond to someone who counters your argument about freedom of conscience for physicians by saying that doctors are in an occupation where they can't opt out for personal reasons, just like ambulance drivers can't decide not to help someone with a swastika tattoo? 3:04: What about doctors being obligated to refer women to abortion practitioners? 6:05: How should we respond to people who wonder how we would manage a pregnant woman who is suicidal over her pregnancy? 9:14: How do you respond to people who say that you should be able to kill people if they're using your body? 17:36: What is a good approach to pro-life protesting, especially given that our abortions happen in hospitals? 29:22: Do you think displays of white crosses are a good idea? 31:46: How does the dynamic change if you're debating in front of an audience or in a TV studio? 36:44: Dealing with relativists who happily contradict themselves, even saying 1+1 can equal 3, and people who admit the unborn is a human but say that human rights should begin later.

    ERI Update - November 2019

    Josh Brahm recently sat in our new studio to give you an update on what's been going on behind the scenes at Equal Rights Institute. There are a lot of visuals in this video, so it's best watched instead of listened to on the podcast, but both are available. Topics: 01:14 - New studio; 03:55 - Tim's resignation; 05:01 - New Director of Training and behind the scenes of the new Equipped for Life extension; 07:25 - Launch of the Sidewalk Counseling Masterclass; 11:29 - Encouraging testimonies from the Protect Life Michigan conference; 13:49 - Relaunching the Equipped for Life Podcast into a free, public feed; 18:42 - Our plans to make a bigger impact at the next March for Life. Testimonials from the Sidewalk Counseling Masterclass: "I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone wanting to get involved in sidewalk counseling. Before watching the course, sidewalk counseling seemed like an intimidating thing that should be left to others more knowledgeable and gifted. After watching this course, I feel very confident that I could get out there and do it." - Jessica "This course has real-life lessons from seasoned sidewalk counselors. I appreciated so much that they not only make suggestions of what to do, but also shared their own mistakes and what they have learned. It's paced such that you don't need any experience in sidewalk counseling to follow it. The training is incredibly practical---- seriously, this course will be some of the best money you ever spend!" - Laura "I found myself making exclamations out loud! I was totally drawn to the reasonings and stories. I felt I could finally put a finger on things that were wrong with my previous experience. I felt inspired to just go back out there (it's been a year). I am sure that if the material was presented in a teaching format, I could not have processed everything in a personal way. When one video ended, I wanted to just see what was next on the next video." - Debra
