    Ep. 226 - Why Your Pregnancy Center Needs a Fatherhood Program

    Are you looking for ways to better engage men and fathers in the pro-life movement? In this episode of the Pro-Life Team podcast, John Merworth and Jacob Barr sit down with Mike Yawler from A Woman's Concern to discuss one of the most successful fatherhood programs in the country. Discover how shifting the focus to include men can lead to transformative outcomes for families and unborn children. Mike shares the heart behind the Courageous Dads program and the online platform Courage Starts Here. We explore how involving the father of the baby early in the process significantly increases the likelihood of a couple choosing life. By shifting the perspective from the man being a side piece to being a vital part of the story, pregnancy centers can provide more holistic care and support. The conversation covers practical strategies for marketing to men, including the use of targeted landing pages and social media. Mike explains the importance of an intentional intake process that makes men feel valued rather than judged. You will also hear about the impact of relationship education and marriage counseling, which help couples build stable foundations for their growing families. Mike shares a powerful success story of a couple who moved from a toxic relationship to a healthy marriage through the support of these programs. Whether you are a center director, a volunteer, or someone passionate about supporting families, this video offers a roadmap for creating a culture of courage and grace.

    Why Marriage Matters: The Success Sequence for Future Success - with Scott Phelps

    What if we stopped treating pregnancy like a problem to be avoided and started seeing it as a hope to be cherished? In this episode, we dive deep into why the current approach to sex education is failing our youth and how we can flip the script to promote a culture of life, marriage, and family. 🌟 Summary of the Conversation Scott Phelps, Executive Director of the Abstinence and Marriage Education Partnership, joins the Prolife Team podcast to discuss three major trends threatening society: high non-marital birth rates, record-low marriage rates, and declining fertility. We explore the shift from simply trying to prevent teen pregnancy to actively promoting the beauty of the Success Sequence. Scott explains why abstinence education isn't just about saying no to sex, but about saying yes to a future built on a solid foundation.  We also discuss the transition from being a presenter in schools to becoming an equipper of educators. By focusing on the safest and healthiest context for children, marriage, we can move from a reactive culture to a proactive one that restores the dream for America's youth. Scott shares powerful stories of how students respond when they finally hear the truth about their value and their future. 📍 Chapters 0:00 Intro and the Mission of the Prolife Team 2:30 Three Mega Trends Impacting Society 6:00 The Shift in Teen Pregnancy and Fertility Rates 9:45 Pregnancy is a Hope to be Cherished Not a Disease 13:15 The Success Sequence and Proactive Education 17:30 Changing the Narrative Around Unexpected Pregnancy 21:00 Why Abortion is Used as a Form of Contraception 25:15 The Goal of Putting Pregnancy Centers Out of Business 29:30 Teaching Abstinence in Public Schools 33:45 The Problem with Modern Sex Education Programs 37:20 Truth with a Capital T: How Students Respond 40:50 Moving from a Presenter Model to an Equipper Model 44:15 Final Thoughts and Closing Prayer 📣 Call to Action If you are ready to bring this life-changing message to your community or school, visit our website to get started.

    Should Women Be Prosecuted for Abortion? Justice vs. Mercy

    Micah 6:8 says, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” How can the pro-life movement effectively build a culture of life while navigating the difficult debate over criminalization? In this episode of the Prolife Team podcast, Father Frank Pavone and Shawn Zierke dive deep into the intersection of justice and mercy within abortion policy. They discuss why focusing on existing laws and providing real support for mothers is often more impactful than pursuing the prosecution of women. Shawn Zierke, a nonprofit executive and consultant, shares insights from her recent op-ed about the abolitionist approach versus incremental reform. The conversation covers the vital role of pregnancy medical clinics, the importance of maintaining trust with women in crisis, and the potential unintended consequences of legal changes on miscarriage investigations. You will learn about the strategic levers needed to change culture, including education, data research, and healthcare infrastructure improvements. The discussion emphasizes that while the goal is to protect every unborn child, the path involves removing barriers like financial instability and lack of support. By prioritizing compassion and practical solutions, the movement can save more lives today while working toward a future where every life is cherished. Join us as we explore how to act justly and love mercy in the pursuit of protecting the most vulnerable.
