“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” Philippians 2:5-8

Speaking4Him Podcast #591: The State of Life (2024)

 “The fetus, though enclosed in the womb of its mother, is already a human being and it is a monstrous crime to rob it of the life which it has not yet begun to enjoy. If it seems more horrible to kill a man in his own house than in a field, because a man’s house is his place of most secure refuge, it ought surely to be deemed more atrocious to destroy a fetus in the womb before it has come to light.” — John Calvin, French Theologian, Pastor, and Reformer

It's been 51 years since Roe V. Wade legalized abortion in all 50 states, but the recent Dobbs V. Jackson ruling in June 2022 has completely changed the landscape of abortion across the country. On today's show, I take a closer look at where the pro-life movement stands after this shakeup.

Speaking4Him Podcast #585: It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)

 “Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?” ― It's a Wonderful Life

bedfordplayhouse.org

In today's episode, I review the classic movie 'It's a Wonderful Life'. When it was first released, it didn't do well despite receiving several Oscar nominations. However, it became a classic after entering the public domain in the 1970s, and it has had a profound impact on me throughout my life. 

The movie reminds us that every life is important and encourages us to ask God how we can use our lives to impact those around us. So, Listen Here, and let's explore this timeless classic together!
