We could very well be on the brink of the most significant Supreme Court case of our lifetimes — and the end of Roe v. Wade. But what will that mean for the pro-life cause? And how should everyday Christians respond? Today, we have candid conversations about abortion with Dr. Ken Keathley (theologian and host of the podcast) and Jessica Prol Smith (writer with 15 years of experience advocating in Washington, DC.)

Plus, in “Together We Go” we highlight another graduate of Southeastern Seminary and offer ways you can pray for her.

Luke Bretherton: Rethinking Humanitarianism - EP 123

Justin Barrett is a scientist who’s studied, among many things, the uniqueness of human beings.
