0:00.0	Well, Stephanie Gray Connors, tell you what, it's a privilege to be able to talk with you today.
0:04.5	Katie and I are both really kind of almost in awe with, yeah, we've got great admiration for the work that you've done and that you're continuing to do.
0:12.5	And I'm really excited for you to share as much of your stories you're able to share.
0:16.8	I'm sure some of our audience is familiar with you.
0:20.4	So maybe even before you kind of share your
0:23.1	origin story, could you tell us like current day, who are you? You know, who is Stephanie Gray-Connor's
0:28.1	in 2025? Yes. Well, I am a wife and a mother. I have a very active four-year-old and almost
0:35.0	two-year-old that keep me on my toes. And I also am a
0:38.4	pro-life apologetic speaker and author. So I fit that now around kind of in submission to my
0:43.4	main mission of being mama, but I still continue what I had been doing for two decades in my
0:48.9	single years. Wow. Yeah. And I mean, with that, could you actually take us back? Because that, like you saying that you've been doing this work for two decades is really impressive in and of itself. But I feel like just starting to do the work seems like it's that that impresses me more than anything. When you're a young, college age person and you obviously, you had a passion for this. Can you kind of walk us through
1:12.6	how you even got started in the work of, you know, defending the unborn life? Yeah, yeah. I mean,
1:19.4	the very beginning really is with my parents. I'm so grateful to be raised by parents who
1:24.1	believed passionately in the Lord. I was raised in a Catholic Christian home,
1:28.9	and my parents not only instilled biblical truths in me, but really believed and taught me to believe
1:35.6	there was a need to then be a witness and to be salt and light. And so they got involved in the
1:40.7	pro-life movement. So when I was literally a baby, I was going to conferences with
1:44.5	them. When I was a little girl, I was still going to conferences with them. They had friends doing
1:48.1	Operation Rescue. We'd make family trips into the bigger city of Vancouver. I was raised in
1:52.7	Western Canada just to protest outside of abortion clinics, just to pray outside of abortion
1:58.3	clinics. So that's what I grew up knowing that when you love the
2:02.7	Lord, then you love his creation and you love his babies. And so when they're in danger, then you need
