0:00.0	Welcome to the Elisa Childers podcast, where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of historic Christianity, discern its counterfeits, and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness, and with truth.
0:20.0	I can't wait for you to hear this
0:21.2	conversation I had with Ryan and Bethany Bomberger. Maybe in the pro-life conversation,
0:27.1	you've heard people say something along the lines of this, that they're against abortion,
0:32.2	their pro-life, except in instances of rape or incest. Well, Ryan's powerful story gives a very compelling answer to that
0:41.4	question because he was actually conceived in rape and then was adopted by a very loving
0:47.4	Christian family raised in the faith. And then he met Bethany, who was a single mom at the time,
0:52.2	who had also chosen life when she found herself pregnant
0:55.2	and pressured to get an abortion.
0:57.8	But then Ryan married her and adopted her daughter, which kind of gave birth to the Radiance
1:03.0	Foundation, which is the ministry that they run today.
1:05.8	And they do some amazing, powerful work.
1:07.9	We talked about how Ryan has been denounced by Planned Parenthood and how that's now a life goal of mine.
1:15.4	But this is such a great conversation. I can't wait for you to hear their incredible insights.
1:19.9	They speak to all sorts of different issues surrounding pro-life, critical race theory, all the craziness and culture, with compassion as well. And so I can't wait for you to hear this.
1:30.0	I do want to let you guys know that we are going to be making some changes. So if you have been one of
1:36.6	those people that watches our podcast on YouTube, we are about to get a makeover. And I'm so excited
1:42.6	about it. We are actually moving our podcast studio and building a whole new set.
1:48.5	And the goal and the hope for this new set is that it will be very conducive to in-person
1:54.4	guests.
1:54.8	I've already got a couple of people lined up to do in-studio interviews after the new year.
2:00.7	Very, very excited about that.
