0:00.0 | Good morning. You guys are beautiful. It's sort of bittersweet for me right now if I'm being honest |
0:09.6 | because my family and I have actually just moved to Kansas. Now, before you go, you coward, |
0:15.6 | you're leaving the lion's den of the fight. Let me just justify my decision, okay? My job |
0:23.7 | obviously entails a lot of spiritual warfare. It's exhausting talking about killing babies |
0:29.2 | full-time and why the church should actually do something about that. Going on to university campuses, |
0:34.3 | just a couple months ago, I was at Stanford, I was at UC Berkeley. That was interesting. So, |
0:39.2 | traveling a lot, doing conferences, churches, pregnancy, resource center, banquet, etc. And we have |

1:30.4 | own children, or good families who believe all the right things, but do nothing to stand against |
1:35.5 | the evil of our times. And unfortunately, that's one of the key sort of lessons of history, |
1:40.8 | is that by the time the good people who disagree with what they're seeing begin to wake up and go, |
1:46.0 | maybe we should start contending for these rights that I've taken for granted. |
1:51.5 | It's too late by that point, right? That's that famous line from Martin Neumohler, |
