Rev. Timothy Pauls joins Steph to talk about LCMS views on pre-born life and the issue of abortion. How does the LCMS differ from some other Christian denominations on the issue of abortion? What value does God place on pre-born life? How can we oppose abortion and still be truly loving? Answers to these questions will kickstart Season 13.

We believe that God is the author and sustainer of all life. We also know it can be hard to speak about the intrinsic value of life, health and the family when it feels like the world is trying to drown us out.

We’re right here beside you. In this podcast of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod’s Life, Health and Family Ministries, we’re coming alongside one another as a community of Christ’s redeemed people. Together we’ll explore life, health and family issues in a way that honors our heavenly Father’s value of human life, serves our neighbor, shares the faith and connects us to others who are doing the same. Join us, so that together we can be friends for life.
