Cheer up, it's Lent!

Lent is a time of penance and fasting, but that doesn't mean you have to be miserable. Instead, it's a time to master ourselves and to draw near to the ultimate source of happiness: Jesus Christ.

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at how NOT to approach Lent, and consider ways that can help us grow closer to Christ in His passion, cross, and resurrection.

Abortion facilities are going out of business left and right. But does it matter? Do closed abortion facilities mean that we're winning…or just that more women are ordering abortion pills online?

We tackle that question and discuss whether abortion numbers are increasing or decreasing on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.

The February 18-March 29 40 Days for Life vigil is coming up, and excitement is building...

...but not everybody is happy to see you on the sidewalk. When you're out praying, it's usually only a matter of time before somebody drives by to heckle you. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share the favorite insults we've ever received out on the sidewalk.

"Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you [falsely] because of me." Matthew 5:11

Even after more than five decades, nobody is comfortable with abortion. That's why abortion advocates prefer to avoid talking about abortion--and instead frame the conversation as a matter of "choice." But the proliferation of unregulated abortion pills is taking that choice away from women.

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we meet the people using abortion pills to trick, force, or coerce women into abortions against their will.

Abortion is the most controversial topic in the world…so it's not surprising that it inspires anger on both sides of the issue.

Even though 40 Days for Life is peaceful, prayerful, and law-abiding, sometimes the horror of abortion can make us angry. Is it wrong to get angry? And how do we handle anger?

We address those questions on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.

In Vitro Fertilization is a dehumanizing business. And after IVF clients are finished attempting to conceive artificially, there are usually leftover embryos. Some are discarded. Others are destroyed for medical research. And many are frozen in a state of suspended animation.

What is the moral thing to do with these "spare" human beings?

Some pro-lifers are adopting them, having them implanted in their wombs, and bringing these babies to term to prevent them from being destroyed or remaining in a storage facility indefinitely. Is that the right approach? We discuss that tough question on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.
