Myself, my wants, my will, my will, my desires, my dreams, my goals. We don't call it Hellenism anymore, we just call it humanism,

which I am worried that people like my Seth and many, many others would be edited out of society.

Everybody,

everybody, Mike here.

Welcome to the Vox Podcast, So glad you're tuning in.

Grateful for you and grateful that we get to play a small part on your journey.

What we want to do this episode is continue the conversation from last episode that began with a question that we got via the interwebs that simply said Mike what's your view of abortion and what advice would you have to give to someone

struggling with the decision of whether or not to have one and you know holy cow me

what a huge what a huge question and we recognize I recognize of course as a man that I

can't understand empathize with what the decision-making process must feel like.

In fact, I got an email from someone this morning that was just talking about how painful it was

to give you your child up for adoption.

You know, we make it sound like that's an easy decision and I can't imagine how hard that decision was and so

Want to be very gentle as we approach these topics we want to we want to frame these things relationally as a community and we want to

talk through. We don't want to shy away from the hard questions that people

are asking and the arguments that are being

put forward in the the public sphere one of the fun things about doing this

podcast is that I keep hearing from a significant number of our listeners who are not Jesus followers and I love that you're engaging and I love that you're wrestling and I love that you're disagreeing or agreeing or whatever.

I think that is incredible. But I also, you know, that also

we cause that causes us to recognize that there's a load of you know opinion on this and and so what I want to do today is I want to answer the first part of that

question. What's your view of abortion? Obviously I come at it from a Jesus follower perspective,

recognizing that there are other Christians who believe differently.
