Summary

In light of the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, too many Christians do not understand the essential truths of the pro-life position, making it difficult for them to articulate a biblical worldview on issues like abortion, cloning, and embryo research. On today’s podcast, Scott Klusendorf helps us understand the intellectual grounding for the pro-life convictions that most evangelicals hold. The debate turns on one key question: What is the unborn? Scott articulates what the role of the pro-life Christian should be and how to lovingly and winsomely engage in questions and objections.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:CARLY JEAN LOS ANGELESCarly Jean Los Angeles is a capsule clothing and lifestyle brand that exists to help women simplify their closets and feel beautiful in every season of life.Use the code, ALISA, and get 20% off your first order!www.carlyjeanlosangeles.com (http://carlyjeanlosangeles.com/)SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off any product.www.sevenweekscoffee.com (http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/)GOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Use the code, ALISA, and $20.00 off your first order and 1 YEAR of FREE CHICKEN.Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa (http://www.goodranchers.com/alisa) for more information.--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/music (http://www.alisachilders.com/music)There you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachilders (http://www.patreon.com/alisachilders)To order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/anothergospel (http://www.alisachilders.com/anothergospel)To order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/)For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com (https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com/)For all links to Alisa’s recommended reading, visit the Alisa Childers Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/alisachilders (https://www.amazon.com/shop/alisachilders)To see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachilders (https://kit.co/alisachilders)Potential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/ (https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/)Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Elisa Childers Podcast, where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of historic
0:13.9	Christianity discern its counterfeits and proclaim the gospel with
0:17.4	clarity, kindness, and truth. And I have just had a phenomenal discussion
0:21.8	with a pro-life apologist Scott Clusendorf.
0:24.0	Really want to encourage you to pick up his book.
0:26.0	This is an updated second edition of The Case for Life.
0:29.0	Look at that beautiful cover,
0:31.0	equipping Christians to engage the culture. This book is going to be such a
0:35.0	valuable resource to you as I hope this podcast will be. There are so many
0:38.7	highlights from our discussion today. We really focused on the personal responsibility of each Christian to speak
0:44.6	publicly about these things and how that can have ripple effects in our culture.
0:48.6	We're also going to really equip you to bring a very clear concise argument for the Pro Life case.
0:55.0	And we also engage with some progressive Christian pushback.
0:58.0	I'm so thrilled that in the book,
1:00.0	Scott actually does engage with a lot of the redefinition of terms that progressive Christians have brought into the pro-life debate,
1:06.0	redefining the word pro-life from something along the lines of advocating for children to be able to be born to kind of this womb to tomb narrative
1:16.0	and then pointing out that if you're not, you know, exactly believing like they do on several other
1:21.5	topics, then you're not really pro-life.
1:23.0	We engage with that.
1:24.3	We engage with Naudio Bolts Weber's argument that pro-life was not the original Christian
1:28.9	position.
1:29.9	We talk about standpoint epistemology and critical theory and how that has made its way into the conversation
