Avoiding Burnout in Abortion Clinic Ministry

This is a rerun episode from 2020. An oldie but goodie. Any ministry can lead to burnout, especially an intense ministry like sidewalk outreach at an abortion center. In this episode, Vicky and Daniel discuss how to avoid burnout and keep from getting crispy.

How To Speak To Hostile People

We face adversity and often hostility when we speak for the unborn in front of an abortion center. The book of Acts gives practical advice on how to do this well, as we explore how Paul spoke to a hostile mob in Jerusalem. The points can guide us as we navigate the hostility of the people we minister to.

The Unthinkable Sin

In this episode, we deal with the issue of modern-day child sacrifice. We give Biblical guidance on how to speak scripturally about the horror of abortion, with examples from pagan practices regarding the shedding of innocent blood.

Ministering To Those Who Are Here Illegally

We often see people who are fearful and hesitant to share or speak with us. Sometimes it is because they are in the country illegally and are afraid we will turn them over to authorities. In this episode, we share what we should do in these instances and how we can encourage them to trust us and choose life.

Examining Our Identity in Christ To Save Babies

A great strategy in counseling women who are determined to abort is to help them understand who they are and who they want to be. Often, these women and men are willing to examine the disconnect between who they are and who they want to be. In this episode, we explore how we can use that disconnect to guide them to a choice for life.

Honoring Those Who have Gone Before Us

This episode examines the contribution of pro-life pioneers who paved the way for us to minister more effectively today. We recount a brief history of the pro-life movement, with some advice on how to relate in an honoring way to those who may have used different tactics, but deserve our respect.

Who Is Our Enemy?

In this episode, we explore the critical issue of disunity and how we sometimes wrongly use weapons to fight each other rather than unite against a common enemy. The podcast gives practical advice on how to proactively fight the battles we face as sidewalk outreach teams in a God-honoring, encouraging, and unifying way.

Addressing Birth Control In Sidewalk Ministry

We have very limited time to speak to the women we minister to on the sidewalks of abortion centers. Birth control is an important issue that we may need to address but it's not typically the best use of our time. In this episode, we discuss how to best talk about abortion control in sidewalk outreach ministry.

Should Women Who Have Abortions Be Prosecuted?

This is a highly contentious issue. Many devout Christians have strong feelings about the answer. Many have never really examined the core issue: are unborn humans people who deserve equal protection under the law? If so, should those who intentionally bring about their death be prosecuted? In this episode, we examine this complex issue from a Biblical and logical perspective.

While we all may employ different strategies to prepare for our morning of sidewalk ministry, it is important to be intentional in preparation. That preparation needs to be practical, physical, emotional, and spiritual. In this episode, we outline some key ways to organize our time in the morning before ministry to be most effective and ready for the difficult battle ahead.
