45: Reflects | Abortion

This one has been a long time coming!

The topic of abortion is extremely divisive, and sometimes that's fine. But as believers we want to make sure that we're thinking critically and biblically about the issue rather than farming out our thinking to political and social figureheads.

What do the majority of women think about abortion? What are the factors that make it more likely for a woman to consider getting an abortion? What can be done holistically to de-incentivize abortion throughout our culture? What role does the (Big C) Church have in this cultural discussion? What role do individual churches have in their communities? How does this relate with politics and voting?

There is much to be said about abortion and we are sure we'll revisit the topic on future episodes (send us your questions/thoughts and we'll get them on our list for future Topic Toss Ups) but we hope you're challenged and edified by our introductory conversation on the topic and we look forward to interacting with you all on this topic in the future!
