But behind the headlines are serious questions about womenโ€™s safety, lack of medical oversight, coercion, and the lives lost in the process. In this episode of the ERLC Podcast, Rachel Wiles sits down with Dr. Donna Harrison, director of Research for @aaplog_, and Erica Oโ€™Connell, legal counsel for @alliancedefendingfreedomโ€™s Center for Public Policy to discuss how the church can approach this issue. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Listen now at the link in our bio

In the United States, 12โ€“15% of couples fail to conceive after a year of trying, and 10% of couples fail after two years. However, technological advances have made what seemed impossible now possible for some. ๐˜ฝ๐™ช๐™ฉ, ๐™Ÿ๐™ช๐™จ๐™ฉ ๐™—๐™š๐™˜๐™–๐™ช๐™จ๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™š ๐™˜๐™–๐™ฃ, ๐™™๐™ค๐™š๐™จ ๐™ž๐™ฉ ๐™ข๐™š๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™ฌ๐™š ๐™จ๐™๐™ค๐™ช๐™ก๐™™?

As challenges around human dignity, sexuality, abortion, and assisted suicide intensify, our Southern Baptist churches and ministries have a unique opportunity to disciple the next generation. @unionuniversity president Dr. Dub Oliver joined us on the ERLC Podcast to discuss the need for biblically grounded voices who will speak with conviction and compassion on the defining moral issues of our day. ๐ŸŽง Listen now at the link in our bio.

We engage public policy not as an end in itself, but as an outflow of our conviction that Scripture is true.
