Illinois Family Spotlight David Smith

In this episode of Spotlight, David Smith co-hosts with Self Evident's Jenna Smith to converse with two spectacular guests about the importance of Scripture and the necessity of knowing Someone Who knows everything.

President and Founder of Pensacola-based organization, Creation Today, Eric’s passion to reach people with the life-changing message of the Gospel has driven him to speak in five foreign countries and all fifty states. He lives in Pensacola, Florida with his wife Tanya and three children and remains excited about the tremendous opportunity to lead an apologetics ministry in the war against evolution and humanism.

Helmut Welke is the President of Quad City Creation Science Association. Founded in 2008, they are dedicated to telling the truth in science education. He is also a member of the Creation Research Society and has been named an Ambassador/Speaker for Logos Research Associates.

These two creation scientists were in the Chicagoland area recently on a speaking tour and stopped by the IFI office to share their knowledge with IFI and our listeners.

This special episode of Spotlight has one of IFI's favorite people: Stephanie Trussell!

Stephanie is a mom, grandmother, entrepreneur, board member for the Illinois Family Institute & Good Soil, Good Seed, and former candidate for Illinois Lieutenant Governor. Monte, David and Stephanie recap the November 8th election, the campaign trail that led up to it, and Stephanie regales mostly humorous anecdotes that occurred to her while traveling the state of Illinois.

One of the questions that comes up in this episode is how can Illinois Republican voter turnout improve. Stephanie's answer is that conservatives need to unite, and not tear each other up for small differences in beliefs. If the Democratic party can be a wall of unity and they win election after election, maybe there's something to be said for it.

40 Days for Life is a vital part of the pro-life movement. The intercession they make to God on behalf of those stumbling to the slaughter, the silent witness to passersby, and the love they show by merely standing outside of an abortion clinic can make the difference of a mother in crisis pregnancy choosing life. What with our lawmakers turning Illinois into a sanctuary state for abortion and now taking steps to ban crisis pregnancy centers, prayer warriors are needed now more than ever before.

In this episode of Spotlight, Monte Larrick interviews two pro-life advocates with 40 Days for Life.

"Every Republican who lives in Illinois who really want to see the strength of the party grow need to be at the Black Conservative Summit. . ." ~Bishop Ceasar Leflore
Dr. Eric Wallace is the leader of the Freedom Journal Institute  and is hosting an event on the weekend of March 25th that you do not want to miss.

The Black Conservative Summit is occurring March 24-25 at the Tinley Park Convention Center. The reason it is the Black Conservative Summit is because the conservative movement must reach beyond its base to the African American community if it is ever to regain its former influence. So, if you are of a pale complexion, fret not, you can still attend and be encouraged by leaders like Voddie Baucham Jr. Larry Elder, Lt. Col. Allen West and many more.
". . .there is only one race, and that's the human race. So if we all join together and we're all there--especially if we fill this (summit) out--we'll make a statement to the rest of the world that even though we're talking about black conservatism, everyone can join in and support that. In our society, they're trying to divide us by race. We're using black conservatism to try and unite us." ~Dr. Wallace
This is a conference for people of all backgrounds who want to see Christ glorified, so register now and come to be informed and motivated.

Earlier this month, Monte Larrick attended the Pro-Life Action League's protest against Walgreens and CVS pharmacies contemplating the sale of abortifacients, and talked with Eric Scheidler about this potential product. Eric Scheidler is the executive director of the Pro-Life Action League, and believes this is a move on the part of the corporations to prove they're woke.
"We know that American corporations are becoming more and more woke. . .acting at the behest of the Democratic party and the progressive movement. . .But Americans do not want their local pharmacy to become an abortion facility which is effectively what's happening here. We could go from having about 650 abortion facilities in America to having 20,000 in America because these pharmacies are now dispensing these incredibly dangerous and incredibly painful drugs."
The drug in question is RU 46, which is also known as Mifepriston. This "medication" is used in combination with misoprostol to cause a mother to miscarry her baby as late as 12 weeks along.
"The misoprostol pill. . .causes contractions so extreme that women stagger to come up with the words to describe what they're going through. . .the baby is expelled [from their body] right there in their home. They see this tiny little embryotic corpse in the toilet--sometimes it survives and it's wriggling around! What do you do with that??"
This Saturday, March 4th, Pro-Life Action League is protesting at the Walgreens in Aurora at 1pm. For more information, click here.

 

In this episode of Spotlight, David & guest host Jenna converse with IFI partner Tom Burrows.
