I loved the way you answered the questions in a grace-filled and age-appropriate manner. The students were moved and given so much good information for them to digest.

He is dedicated to showing people that it is possible to change the culture on abortion.

Florence
Florence

Florence grew up with pro-life values, but her passion for advocacy was sparked during the fight against Proposal 3: the radical abortion amendment. This experience inspired her to join Protect Life Michigan as a summer intern for two years. Now, Florence works at Protect Life Michigan as the Internship Success Coordinator, recruiting and training students to discuss abortion with compassion and clarity. She focuses on changing minds, supporting post-abortive women, and promoting a culture of healing and life.

He's a former teacher and evangelist, but his favorite role by far is being a husband and dad to his daughter, Gemma. Jonah's love for life comes from his love for Jesus. He believes our deepest purpose is to grow closer to Christ and become who He created us to be. When he's not working, you'll find him playing soccer, writing music, or writing a book.

Choose one of two talks

Both run about 45 minutes with time for questions afterward. Tell us which one fits your group, or say you're not sure and we'll help you pick.

Bystander vs. Hero

The challenge. Groups look at how ordinary people in history watch injustice do nothing to put a stop to it. The talk shares the deadly costs of remaining a bystander and petitions listeners to be heroes in defense of our most vulnerable - preborn children.

Best forGroups that want to be convicted and inspired to act. This is our most popular talk.
Apologetics 101

The groundwork. Groups learn how to answer the arguments they will actually hear — bodily autonomy, rape and incest, don't "legislate your morality" — and how to answer them in a way that keeps the other person listening instead of walking off.

Best forGroups that want to be able to defend the pro-life worldview more effectively in the public square.

Have a different need or speaking opportunity in mind? You can also request a different talk.
