Is a Gospel1800:01:26.900 --> 00:01:33.129centered outreach at local abortion centers andagain really focused on equipping you guys who1900:01:33.129 --> 00:01:38.250are out there, but also otherpeople in other prolife ministries. We certainly2000:01:38.290 --> 00:01:45.769would invite anyone into this podcast communityto listen to this podcast.

Maybe you'll encourageyou guys. I do want to mention2400:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.230that we have a website. Wementioned it often sidewalks for Lifecom, and2500:02:06.950 --> 00:02:09.110we put a lot of content outthere. We put basically, I think2600:02:09.229 --> 00:02:15.139every week Vicky writes an article anda lot of times that's what we base2700:02:15.219 --> 00:02:21.300our podcast episodes on as the articlethat she wrote and we put those articles2800:02:21.340 --> 00:02:24.580up. You can go on sidewalksfor lifecom and just click on equipping articles2900:02:25.259 --> 00:02:29.780and you can find those articles andalso now we have on that website,3000:02:29.900 --> 00:02:32.770just put up recently a link tothe podcast. So we have a separate3100:02:32.810 --> 00:02:38.129podcast website. If you get aGospel centered prolifecom. That's the podcast website.3200:02:38.729 --> 00:02:42.849Eventually, maybe we'll kind of mergethose two things together, the two3300:02:42.969 --> 00:02:46.840really helpful resources, and I don'tsay that just because we created them,3400:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.479I say that because they are theirhelpful. I don't care who created it,3500:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.840they're helpful websites. The website forthe PODCAST, you can act should3600:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.080go on. If you get aGospel Center Pro Lifecom, you can go3700:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.229there's a search bar there. Putwhatever keyword you want to look for.3800:03:00.389 --> 00:03:04.069If we did a podcast about it, it's going to pop up. It's3900:03:04.069 --> 00:03:07.789going to show you what podcasts we'vedone the cover that subject that have that4000:03:07.830 --> 00:03:13.259keyword in them. The sidewalks forlife website was really helpful because there's kind4100:03:13.259 --> 00:03:15.500of like a training module in there. Is, matter of fact, on4200:03:15.580 --> 00:03:20.180the very front page of that.If you click start training now, it'll4300:03:20.180 --> 00:03:23.740kind of bring you through a trainingprocess, just some bullet points and stuff4400:03:23.259 --> 00:03:27.330and even some videos that you canwatch. That we think will be a4500:03:27.370 --> 00:03:30.129blessed you and we're going to continueto put content out there. Yeah,4600:03:30.210 --> 00:03:32.289and even I'm doing some things andthinking through some things to help them prove4700:03:32.409 --> 00:03:38.169that and even maybe even to keepfolks here doing this ministry connected with each4800:03:38.210 --> 00:03:42.759other. So looking into some waysto do that. But with that,4900:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.080I do want to mention that sidewalksfor life website, there's an article that5000:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.479we put out just recently a blogpose, and I can't remember exactly in5100:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.400the name. I think it hasto do with calling out, phrases to5200:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.830call out or something like that,but we'll try to put a link to5300:03:57.949 --> 00:04:01.030that article in the show notes tothis podcast episode. You can get there5400:04:01.750 --> 00:04:09.110because in that blog post is actuallya pdf that you can download that has5500:04:09.189 --> 00:04:13.219some of these phrases and we're goingto share some of those kind of oneliners5600:04:13.300 --> 00:04:15.860things that you call out as you'rethere at the abortion center. Now.5700:04:15.979 --> 00:04:18.899Months ago we did do an episodeabout calling out because we went through our5800:04:18.980 --> 00:04:24.930whole training and kind of broke downeach kind of each component of our training5900:04:25.009 --> 00:04:30.449that we do for our sidewalk counselorsacross the nation and broke those components down6000:04:30.449 --> 00:04:32.370into episodes, individual episodes, andwe talked about calling out. But we're6100:04:32.370 --> 00:04:39.079going to get specific today in somesome really powerful phrases and calling out.6200:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.199I don't know, I'm kind ofdominating right now and let you talk at6300:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.199all Vicki, you know, I'llmake up for it later. Yeah,6400:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.959okay, we'll let you make upfor it later. But yeah, we're6500:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.319going to focus on calling out,some of the phrases, some of the6600:04:50.360 --> 00:04:54.230things you can use more. Talkingabout calling out at the abortion center,6700:04:54.470 --> 00:04:59.629we're talking about the scenario in whichyou're on the public sidewalk, the abortion6800:04:59.790 --> 00:05:02.870center is fifty feet away from whereyou're standing, like what we are in6900:05:02.910 --> 00:05:09.459the trobe and windover and even planparenthood. It's vehicular traffic. So there7000:05:09.500 --> 00:05:11.899are people parking their cars in theparking lot. We can't be in the7100:05:11.939 --> 00:05:15.300parking lot. We've got probably ten, fifteen seconds, maybe a little longer,7200:05:15.339 --> 00:05:19.139maybe a little less, from themwalking from their car to the door7300:05:19.220 --> 00:05:23.889of the abortion center to call out, to raise our voice and to be7400:05:24.009 --> 00:05:28.329heard. Now we're not talking aboutwhat we've been accused of, screaming at7500:05:28.410 --> 00:05:31.329people, right, and so goback and listen to the calling out episode7600:05:31.329 --> 00:05:35.319that we did, because we talkabout using an inviting tone. We talk7700:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.160about you know, you need toraise your voice, but you want to7800:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.560come you don't want to come acrossas screaming. You want to be approachable,7900:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.040right, and just kind of aside note. I actually watch this8000:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.790a couple of weeks ago. Iwas just going on Youtube, and Youtube8100:05:49.870 --> 00:05:54.949is such it could be assessabool,but it's such a resource if you use8200:05:54.990 --> 00:05:59.230it right. And so what Iwas looking at is some training, some8300:05:59.430 --> 00:06:02.269teaching about how how to raise yourvoice and such a way to be heard8400:06:02.269 --> 00:06:08.139and and do it without screaming anddo it with an inviting tone. So8500:06:08.259 --> 00:06:11.939there's actually some some coaching and stuffon there. Oh, I need that.8600:06:12.220 --> 00:06:14.860Yes, I lose my voice alot. Yeah, well, yeah,8700:06:15.019 --> 00:06:16.500a lot of it. And thisis not what this episode's about.8800:06:16.540 --> 00:06:19.089We're going to talk about some ofthe statements that you can use. Yeah,8900:06:19.170 --> 00:06:23.490but I think this is helpful.Is talking about speaking from your diet9000:06:23.569 --> 00:06:30.810friend right. And actually I learned, I actually do that naturally, kind9100:06:30.850 --> 00:06:33.759of naturally in my early walk withthe Lord, even up until now.9200:06:33.800 --> 00:06:38.720I probably a year after I gotsaved, I was involved in doing some9300:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.800street preaching and stuff like that.So you kind of learned to raise your9400:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.000voice and that scenario to be heard. You want to broadcast your voice and9500:06:46.269 --> 00:06:48.790you know, you have to askyourself. I'm church history guy. I9600:06:48.870 --> 00:06:54.149like Reading Church history and I readabout men like John Wesley, for example,9700:06:54.910 --> 00:06:59.269who, in the days of nothaving amplified sound, was able to9800:06:59.310 --> 00:07:03.620speak to like ten to Twentyzero peoplefor hours, for hours. Yeah,9900:07:03.860 --> 00:07:08.500so he had to have some Imean he had certainly the Holy Spirit was10000:07:08.579 --> 00:07:13.819using him, but just naturally speaking, he had to have some method in10100:07:13.980 --> 00:07:16.850which he projected his voice. Yeah, it's a matter of fact. Many10200:07:16.970 --> 00:07:19.449guys don't know this. Many ofyou folks that are listening don't know this.10300:07:19.569 --> 00:07:25.209Some of you might, but BenjaminFranklin and George Whitfield, George,10400:07:25.529 --> 00:07:31.480George Whitfield was a preacher at thetime of John Wesley and Benjamin Franklin and10500:07:31.560 --> 00:07:35.160George Whitfield were actually friends. BenjaminFranklin was not a believer, he was10600:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.399like a Deist, but he wasfriends with George Whitfield and he went at10700:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.759one point and use some because he'sthe scientific guys. He used some of10800:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.629his measuring devices and tried to measurehow far away George Whitfield's voice could be10900:07:46.709 --> 00:07:50.029heard, and it was like amile away or something. I don't I11000:07:50.069 --> 00:07:56.389guess Google that, Donish Shane.Yeah, so your voice can be raised11100:07:56.470 --> 00:08:01.899in such a way to be heardwithout you screaming without you losing your voice.11200:08:01.660 --> 00:08:05.819And of course there's other things youcould use. Some cities you're able11300:08:05.860 --> 00:08:09.180to use amplified sound. We areable to use it here in Charlotte.11400:08:09.579 --> 00:08:11.620Some cities they don't care if youuse amplified sound. Some cities, if11500:08:11.660 --> 00:08:16.129you use amplified sound, you're goingto get a citation. So you've figured11600:08:16.170 --> 00:08:18.930that out. I can't tell youguys who are listening, all the information11700:08:20.129 --> 00:08:24.009on that, but we can giveyou some helpful phrases to call out and11800:08:24.569 --> 00:08:28.680what, however, you do that, and so we're going to jump into11900:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.279that and we're breaking this down andreally are three talking points. Hopefully you12000:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.080guys know what our three talking pointsare. That when we train people,12100:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.840here's the three kind of headings thatwe use of things that we're going to12200:08:39.879 --> 00:08:45.389say under those those those headings.The first is what does God say?12300:08:46.029 --> 00:08:48.830And so we want to of wewant God, because he's already in the12400:08:48.909 --> 00:08:52.909equation, to be on the forefrontof what we're saying, and so we're12500:08:52.950 --> 00:08:56.220going to give you some examples ofthat. So, what does God say?12600:08:56.179 --> 00:09:00.259The humanity of the baby? That'sour second talking point. And then12700:09:00.259 --> 00:09:03.899the third is the resources that areavailable and under those headings we're kind of12800:09:05.019 --> 00:09:07.940going to kind of look at somephrases. And what we did is we12900:09:07.139 --> 00:09:11.490pulled our local sidewalk counselors. Idon't know nationally to that we do it13000:09:11.529 --> 00:09:15.570nationally? No, it was justlocal. Okay. So we pulled our13100:09:15.649 --> 00:09:20.169local sidewalk counselors and just ask them, what are some of your favorite phrases13200:09:20.250 --> 00:09:22.610to say? What are some ofthe most effective phrases to say? And13300:09:22.850 --> 00:09:26.799also will say this to Vicky,has a list of a hundred and fifty13400:09:26.919 --> 00:09:31.960or so moms that have chosen lifeover the years and she shoots out of13500:09:31.039 --> 00:09:35.559text or an email to them everyonce in a while and asks, what13600:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.830are some of the things that youheard that helped you to choose life?13700:09:39.909 --> 00:09:43.269And so we base some of whatwe say on that as well. But13800:09:43.629 --> 00:09:48.429under these headings what God says,humanity to the baby and the resources that13900:09:48.429 --> 00:09:52.669are available, available, or kindof looking at maybe two sides of the14000:09:52.710 --> 00:09:58.220same coin. Right, we're lookingat phrases that are empowering and phrases that14100:09:58.379 --> 00:10:03.059are convicting or that are a warningphrase. Yeah, and I don't know14200:10:03.059 --> 00:10:07.370that we're going to talk too muchabout when you would say these, because14300:10:07.409 --> 00:10:09.649you would say those at different times. That contecting phrases probably not what I14400:10:09.690 --> 00:10:13.570would start off with. Yeah,in general, because in general that's to14500:10:13.610 --> 00:10:18.049make them not want to talk muchmore with us, right until they trust14600:10:18.090 --> 00:10:20.049you a little bit. So usuallyI will start with what I believe her14700:10:20.129 --> 00:10:24.759more empowering and oftentimes when I callout, I'll try and get all three14800:10:24.919 --> 00:10:31.240of those major talking points in onefifteen second plea. Yeah. And that's14900:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.909not what this is, right.This is really just separating out the portions15000:10:35.950 --> 00:10:41.950of a phrase yeah, that peoplereally like, that they've either set themselves15100:10:41.110 --> 00:10:45.950or that other people say. Yeah, yeah, and you got to be15200:10:46.029 --> 00:10:50.659thinking in terms again, of we'vetalked about often, of a young woman15300:10:50.899 --> 00:10:56.460going into an abortion center who's scared, who's under a spirit of fear,15400:10:56.899 --> 00:11:01.299under pressure from other people. There'sa lot of confusion, there's a lot15500:11:01.340 --> 00:11:05.730of stuff going on and you don'twant to come out of the gate with15600:11:07.330 --> 00:11:11.889the convicting you know God, Godsees what you're doing and you better turn15700:11:11.929 --> 00:11:16.169away from this. And so well, I say, typically you don't want15800:11:16.169 --> 00:11:20.759to do that. But I willsay also what we always encourage you guys15900:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.519with. You need to be ledby the Holy Spirit. That's key.16000:11:24.559 --> 00:11:30.279Yeah, because the Holy Spirit knowsin the moment what that woman needs to16100:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.990hear. And there could be sometimes, and to me I think they should16200:11:33.990 --> 00:11:39.149be few and far between personally,because I've been out there and I'll walk16300:11:39.230 --> 00:11:43.509with God and I know how theHoly Spirit deals and I've seen what the16400:11:43.549 --> 00:11:46.350Holy Spirit does and how he dealswith these women and how he speaks through16500:11:46.389 --> 00:11:52.220his people. Most of the time, the the first phrases that are going16600:11:52.259 --> 00:11:56.019to come out of my mouth andmost people's mouths, and I think rightly16700:11:56.100 --> 00:12:00.860so, are empowering phrases. Right. Yeah, but there are times again,16800:12:01.139 --> 00:12:03.929we're phrases need to come out.There are little more convicting and that's16900:12:03.929 --> 00:12:07.529the initial thing. Now a lotof times, the way I kind of17000:12:07.570 --> 00:12:11.129see things and the way, youknow, just trying to be led by17100:12:11.169 --> 00:12:15.490the Holy Spirit, the flow ofthings go is typically we'll see a mom17200:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.440first time she's there, she's fromher car to the door. That's when17300:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.919I'm calling out some of the someof the things that are more empowering.17400:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.879You can do this, mommy,your baby, is presidation. Yeah,17500:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.879painting a positive vision that you don'tneed to go in there. We can17600:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.950help you that sort of thing.Right. But if I've seen her go17700:12:31.149 --> 00:12:35.710in and out like three or fourtimes, then I might get into a17800:12:35.789 --> 00:12:41.149little more of the convicting, likeGod sees what you're doing and he's not17900:12:41.269 --> 00:12:45.740pleased. I might see something likethat. Right. But again, you18000:12:45.820 --> 00:12:48.700guys have to walk with the Lord. If your heart is tender before God.18100:12:50.340 --> 00:12:52.220We talked about it before a coupleof I don't know, a couple18200:12:52.259 --> 00:12:56.419weeks ago, I think, wetalked about how we're walking with God and18300:12:56.500 --> 00:12:58.370there's a tenderness in our heart andhumility in our heart, that's going to18400:12:58.450 --> 00:13:03.129come out of our mouths. Right. And if there's just this jadedness and18500:13:03.250 --> 00:13:07.730disillusionment with the world in your heartand you're not walking with God, God18600:13:07.850 --> 00:13:09.730not walking close to the Lord,that's going to come out of your mouth18700:13:11.009 --> 00:13:13.919anger, bitterness and all that stuff. We want to just we want to18800:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.320be walking with Jesus and speaking outof a humbleness and a surrender to Jesus18900:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.080and a love for him and forthose moms and those babies, for and19000:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.429and that'll be communicated. Yeah,so should we happen to them? I19100:13:26.590 --> 00:13:31.029think we should. Okay, sothe first is probably well, without a19200:13:31.110 --> 00:13:33.549doubt, the most important in mymind, is what is God? Say.19300:13:33.710 --> 00:13:39.190Yeah, that's the first category.And and so one of the first19400:13:39.309 --> 00:13:43.539things that I say, and Iknow I've heard probably the most, this19500:13:43.820 --> 00:13:48.379phrase your baby is alive and madein the image of God. Yeah,19600:13:48.820 --> 00:13:52.100and I love that for so manyreasons. For one thing, you're countering19700:13:52.299 --> 00:13:54.659the lie that it's a Blob ofcells when you're saying he's alive made in19800:13:54.730 --> 00:13:58.409the image of God. Is thecrux of the worth of that child.19900:13:58.690 --> 00:14:03.129Yeah, and just right away,just get at it. It is God20000:14:03.289 --> 00:14:07.210who made that baby and the reasonfor that baby's value is that baby is20100:14:07.289 --> 00:14:11.320made in God's image. So,so much is conveyed in that single sentence.20200:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.600Yeah, and it's such an,in my opinion, encouragement. And20300:14:16.679 --> 00:14:22.080then some people tag on some ofthe our councilors said, and so are20400:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.789you. Yeah, so that they'reagain empowering both the woman to look at20500:14:26.830 --> 00:14:30.710herself in a positive light. Whatdoes that mean to be made in the20600:14:30.789 --> 00:14:33.669image of God and to look atthe baby? Yeah, in that light.20700:14:33.750 --> 00:14:39.500Yeah, I will say that weneed to steer away from like complex20800:14:39.740 --> 00:14:46.460theological statements, you know, thingsthat would get more into like trying to20900:14:46.539 --> 00:14:48.139break down. If you're going touse this, your baby is alive and21000:14:48.220 --> 00:14:52.379maybe the image of God. Ithink that's powerful, right, but trying21100:14:52.379 --> 00:14:54.210to break down and being made inthe image of God actually meet, you21200:14:54.289 --> 00:14:58.649know, try to break that secondsanyway. So, so again, you've21300:14:58.649 --> 00:15:03.250got to think in the mindset ofa young woman who's scared, who's alone,21400:15:03.929 --> 00:15:07.720stuff going on in her life.Simple, straight to the point statements21500:15:07.759 --> 00:15:13.039and let God help her process that. Right. Really, the main point21600:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.679with this is you're bringing God tothe forefront of her mind and quite possibly21700:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.000he's already there. She's already prayed, she's already thought about this, she's21800:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.149already struggling with it between her andGod, and he's already convicting her.21900:15:24.149 --> 00:15:28.350He's already doing his work by hisHoly Spirit. You're just reiterating with what22000:15:28.509 --> 00:15:33.389God's already doing. Yeah, thisphrase too, I think is important and22100:15:33.590 --> 00:15:37.179powerful because it kind of handles tooof the talking points. Right, what22200:15:37.379 --> 00:15:41.059God says, yeah, that baby'smade in his image and the humanity of22300:15:41.100 --> 00:15:45.340the baby. It's a baby,it's alive. That child, he or22400:15:45.419 --> 00:15:48.259she, I won't normally say it, I will say he or she is22500:15:48.379 --> 00:15:52.330alive and made in the image ofGod. Now I'll will tag onto that22600:15:52.409 --> 00:15:54.889statement personally. I will say,mom and your baby's alive and made in22700:15:54.929 --> 00:15:58.889the image of God, precious inthe sight of the Lord, just like22800:15:58.049 --> 00:16:00.970you are. I do tag that, just like you are, because I22900:16:02.090 --> 00:16:04.679want her to see that our concernout there on the sidewalk is not just23000:16:04.759 --> 00:16:10.279for her baby. This whole morepro birth garbage, like we don't care23100:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.000about the mom, we just careabout the baby. Isn't just a lie.23200:16:12.639 --> 00:16:18.029We care about that mom and she'smade in God's image. God sees23300:16:18.110 --> 00:16:22.149the struggle. That's one of thethings I'll call out. kind of maybe23400:16:22.190 --> 00:16:25.710adding a little more to this thanI should, but one of the things23500:16:25.750 --> 00:16:30.350I'll call out is that God caresabout you and he cares about your baby.23600:16:30.789 --> 00:16:34.139God sees your struggle and he seesthe struggle your baby is in right23700:16:34.179 --> 00:16:37.580now, and that is a lifeand death struggle for your baby. Yes,23800:16:37.700 --> 00:16:41.740I'll say that. That's that's somethingalong the lines of kind of bringing23900:16:41.779 --> 00:16:47.289God again into the equation. Rightright. Something I I do want to24000:16:47.370 --> 00:16:52.649point out is sometimes the women willrespond and if they do it it's usually24100:16:52.769 --> 00:16:59.009best to in some way piggyback offof that response, right, and so24200:16:59.169 --> 00:17:03.639that that might guide you into whatthe next thing is. But because sometimes24300:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.720when I hear that is yes,I know God loves me. Yeah,24400:17:07.720 --> 00:17:12.720and God understands, or God,God. Basically it's okay with God because24500:17:12.720 --> 00:17:18.869he loves me. And and thenI would probably say something along the lines24600:17:18.910 --> 00:17:21.630of good, you are right,God does love you, but he also24700:17:21.710 --> 00:17:25.029loves that baby and he is aloving God, but he's a god of24800:17:25.109 --> 00:17:27.150justice. Yeah, and it's notjust for an innocent baby to die.24900:17:27.470 --> 00:17:30.660Yeah, and that situation, Iknow exactly what you're talking about. Your25000:17:30.700 --> 00:17:36.859baby is precious in the side ofGod and made in his image, loved25100:17:37.259 --> 00:17:38.900by him just like you are.Yeah, I know God loves me,25200:17:40.059 --> 00:17:42.579and my response will be what doesn'the also love that baby you're about to25300:17:42.619 --> 00:17:45.170kill? Yeah, yeah, soI want to provoke thought. I want25400:17:45.170 --> 00:17:48.529to turn the question back on them, right. And so, yeah,25500:17:48.809 --> 00:17:53.049don't be surprised if you hear themgo back at you something to try to25600:17:53.170 --> 00:18:00.319defend themselves or make themselves feel betteror or something along those lines. You're25700:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.559not always going to have just theright answer. Like me, sometimes,25800:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.240fifteen minutes later, I'm like,Oh, I should have said this.25900:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.680All right, so I'll follow itaway for the future that if someone says26000:18:10.680 --> 00:18:14.549that, I'll respond with is sometimesyou'll hear, and I know you've heard26100:18:14.549 --> 00:18:15.309this a lot. I have.If you're out there, you're going to26200:18:15.390 --> 00:18:18.829hear, are you going to adoptmy baby? Are you going to take26300:18:18.869 --> 00:18:22.670care of my baby? And myresponse with that, and of course you26400:18:22.789 --> 00:18:25.710have to make sure you're in aposition to do this, but as yes,26500:18:25.950 --> 00:18:27.940I would love to take care ofyour child. Yeah, or yes,26600:18:29.099 --> 00:18:32.339we have families that will adopt yourbaby right now, right, and26700:18:32.460 --> 00:18:36.980it kind of does shut them up, but the reality is it's not about26800:18:37.059 --> 00:18:38.859that. For them, it's reallya fig leaf to try to cover up26900:18:38.859 --> 00:18:42.210the conviction that they feel. Yeah, one thing I would not do in27000:18:42.410 --> 00:18:48.250response to them is get defensive andstart trying to justify yourself. Yeah,27100:18:48.369 --> 00:18:51.529exactly, because, again, everyword is precious. You know, those27200:18:51.569 --> 00:18:53.650ten or fifteen seconds. Weigh themcarefully. Everything you say. You have27300:18:55.009 --> 00:18:59.839very limited. Yeahme, you donot have to justify yourself right being out27400:18:59.839 --> 00:19:03.359there on the sidewalk. You donot have to convince anyone that what you're27500:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.279doing is the right thing, because, after all, you're called by God.27600:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.549Yeah, and you've got a mandateopen your mouth for the speechless.27700:19:10.589 --> 00:19:12.190Right, you've got that from theLord, so you don't have to justify27800:19:12.309 --> 00:19:15.829yourself. I agree totally with that. Don't get into a back and forth27900:19:15.869 --> 00:19:19.750with them. We're talking really againabout calling out these kind of online statement.28000:19:19.829 --> 00:19:25.380So another statement as it pertains towhat God says, and I think28100:19:25.539 --> 00:19:30.579this is really powerful and I haveseen MOMS choose life this that said specifically,28200:19:30.619 --> 00:19:33.220they chose life because they heard somethingsimilar to this. Your child is28300:19:33.299 --> 00:19:41.450a gift from God. I thinkit's helpful to use the word your child.28400:19:41.930 --> 00:19:44.730Yes, right away, baby,but man, more child. Yeah,28500:19:44.930 --> 00:19:47.849yeah, so it talks to thehumanity the baby and then, of28600:19:47.930 --> 00:19:49.130course, the Word Gift, thatyour child is a gift from God,28700:19:49.170 --> 00:19:53.119because what their feeling is that thischild is just a burden, a punishment,28800:19:53.160 --> 00:19:56.839a punishment. And really what you'redoing is you're bringing the truth.28900:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.519Yeah, right, because the Bibletells us very clearly. Right. So29000:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.359some one hundred and twenty seven childrenare a blessing, a gift or,29100:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.789some version say, a heritage fromthe Lord. So it's almost like children29200:20:07.829 --> 00:20:14.230are better than real estate, right, that's what a heritage is, talking29300:20:14.269 --> 00:20:18.109about something you hand down, somethingthat's like been given to you as an29400:20:18.190 --> 00:20:22.380inheritance. This child is an inheritance, a gift from God, and that's29500:20:22.380 --> 00:20:26.180how I would say it. Yourbaby is a gift from God. And29600:20:26.220 --> 00:20:30.700then think one of our counselors arethe ones who you kind of copied this29700:20:30.819 --> 00:20:33.539from. This is a statement theyget, they commonly used and they tag29800:20:33.619 --> 00:20:37.690on the end of that just especiallyfor you. This child is a gift.29900:20:37.890 --> 00:20:41.569Your baby is a gift from God, especially for you. I think30000:20:41.609 --> 00:20:45.609that is good. Yeah, yeah, it's just God niqueness of of that30100:20:45.890 --> 00:20:49.519person as the mother. I willsay a similar thing. God chose you30200:20:51.480 --> 00:20:53.880to have this baby. He didn'thave to give this baby the spark of30300:20:55.079 --> 00:20:59.359life, but he did, andthat baby he knows what he's doing,30400:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.200he doesn't make mistakes and that babyis especially for you, I think.30500:21:03.240 --> 00:21:06.109Yeah, I like that statement alot. I think that's a good one.30600:21:06.190 --> 00:21:08.390Yeah. So moving along to anotherone that kind of stands out to30700:21:08.509 --> 00:21:12.549me, and this is more alongthe lines again in the empowering and then30800:21:12.589 --> 00:21:18.019we'll kind of get into some ofthe convicting ones here. But God sees30900:21:18.059 --> 00:21:22.339you, Mama and cares about youand your baby. Yeah, that actually31000:21:22.339 --> 00:21:26.619can be convicting, right. Godsees you. Yeah, I have the31100:21:26.660 --> 00:21:29.299Lord is in every place. TheBible says God sees what you're doing and31200:21:29.980 --> 00:21:32.500he cares about you. Yeah,and your baby. So I think that31300:21:32.579 --> 00:21:34.650can move into the realm of conviction. Obviously all of this is supposed to31400:21:34.690 --> 00:21:40.369be convicting and convincing, right,but moving into some that are a little31500:21:40.410 --> 00:21:45.210more like hard hitting. Yeah,and I think appropriate. We talked earlier31600:21:45.289 --> 00:21:48.400about when they can be appropriate.I don't think out of the gate that31700:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.400you would say God hates the handsthat shed innocent blood. That's that's just31800:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.200a direct quote from the Bible.It's straight from the hands that shut in31900:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.799as him blood. And so yeah, I if you start with that you32000:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.789are likely not going to get agood response. So that would never be32100:22:03.950 --> 00:22:07.589my opening. Right. And butit is biblical. Yeah, it is32200:22:07.630 --> 00:22:11.869a biblical concept. Yeah, youcan get theologically into you know, does32300:22:11.950 --> 00:22:17.859God hate people? Or I canbreak that down for you the Bible's it's32400:22:17.900 --> 00:22:22.220what it says, right. It'smore than talking about their physical hands.32500:22:22.220 --> 00:22:26.180It's talking about their actions, butit is talking about God's view of people.32600:22:26.259 --> 00:22:27.819That rebel against him and are willingto shit in this a blood.32700:22:27.859 --> 00:22:33.250Yeah, but I think it's agentler way of saying it in a way,32800:22:33.569 --> 00:22:37.970because for me, when I hearthat, I do think of the32900:22:37.250 --> 00:22:41.690hand. Yeah, the part ofyou that is taking this action that God33000:22:41.769 --> 00:22:47.960hates. He hates that. That'swhat you're using your hands to do.33100:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.799Yeah, you could be using thosehands instead to create a Libaby, and33200:22:52.839 --> 00:22:55.839I just thought of a new phrasethat I I'm going to start saying.33300:22:55.880 --> 00:23:00.029That's a good one. God hatesthe hands that shed innocent blood, but33400:23:00.190 --> 00:23:03.710he gave you those hands to creedleand hold your precious child one day.33500:23:03.710 --> 00:23:07.910Yeah, so that you're contrasting whatwhat those hands are going to do,33600:23:07.269 --> 00:23:11.670that there is a choice. Yeah, yeah, that's good. Yeah.33700:23:11.869 --> 00:23:17.059So one really empowering statement that Iuse often, and I use this especially33800:23:17.140 --> 00:23:18.579with the men, because I'm aman speaking to other men, but I'll33900:23:18.579 --> 00:23:23.660use it with the women as well, is to encourage them that they can34000:23:23.700 --> 00:23:27.569be a good mother, because manyof them have been lied to. You34100:23:27.690 --> 00:23:34.089can't be a mom because you're soyoung or because you're of this demographic or34200:23:34.609 --> 00:23:38.609single, single, yeah, college, whatever, you can't be a mom.34300:23:38.809 --> 00:23:42.960You can't, you can't. That'swhat the world says, but I34400:23:44.079 --> 00:23:47.559believe God says something different. SoI want to contrast the lies that they34500:23:47.599 --> 00:23:51.359were there believing with the truth.Yeah, and the truth that I'll share34600:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.319often times is that you're already amother. So I want to plug that,34700:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.190like you're already a mother. Sothat speaks to the humanity of the34800:23:57.230 --> 00:24:02.029baby. But then it then Igo on to say you're already a mother34900:24:02.390 --> 00:24:06.430and God can help you to bea good mother, and that's really empowering35000:24:06.549 --> 00:24:10.420to me. You can be agood mother for that baby. Yeah,35100:24:10.460 --> 00:24:12.220I'll say it to the men.You're already a dad. If you got35200:24:12.259 --> 00:24:15.740her pregnant, you're already a father. God can help you to be a35300:24:15.940 --> 00:24:21.099good father. Young Man, youcan be a good dad to that baby.35400:24:21.460 --> 00:24:25.450Yeah, starts with you getting herout of there. That's something similar35500:24:25.490 --> 00:24:26.849to what I'll say. Yeah,and I love that phrase, and what35600:24:27.130 --> 00:24:30.650I often will tag on is youcan be the mother or the father that35700:24:30.849 --> 00:24:36.450God designed you to be. Toagain remind them God designed you for a35800:24:36.650 --> 00:24:40.279good purpose. Yeah, it's notthis, it's not going in and killing35900:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.920your baby, but you can bewho God designed you to be. To36000:24:42.960 --> 00:24:48.480remind them. Yeah, they don'thave to make the choice. Rebelled against36100:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.910him. So moving on to kindof that second category glory. So the36200:24:52.990 --> 00:24:56.549first one is what God says.We touched on some of those good phrases.36300:24:56.589 --> 00:25:00.430There's there's so many more. Goon that in that blog post on36400:25:00.509 --> 00:25:03.950sidewalks for life and download that PDF. There's a lot of good, kind36500:25:03.950 --> 00:25:07.500of oneliner statements there. Yeah,but moving into the humanity of the baby,36600:25:07.500 --> 00:25:10.980because that's our second talking point,right. There's a few here that36700:25:11.019 --> 00:25:14.660I think you're really good and againkind of make you these your own as36800:25:14.740 --> 00:25:18.900you're calling out guys something similar tothis. These are just some suggestions.36900:25:18.700 --> 00:25:21.809The first one we have here onthe list of that we're looking at,37000:25:21.849 --> 00:25:25.890yeah, is your baby is alive. Your baby's heart is already beating.37100:25:25.970 --> 00:25:30.490Right, that's powerful. Yeah,humanity the baby. Now, a heartbeat37200:25:30.690 --> 00:25:34.490does not make a human being ahuman being, right. We acknowledge that,37300:25:36.559 --> 00:25:41.720and I would say I'll I'll oftenam kind of careful with this because37400:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.960you know, the heartbeat starts veryearly, so we can be pretty confident37500:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.359that baby's heart is already beating.But I will say something and kind of37600:25:48.799 --> 00:25:53.109you know, tweak it a bitand say your baby's at seventeen to twenty,37700:25:53.150 --> 00:25:56.230one days after conception, your baby'sheart began to beat. Yeah,37800:25:56.470 --> 00:26:00.150if you're five weeks, your baby'sheart is already beating. Your six weeks,37900:26:00.190 --> 00:26:03.460your baby's heart is already beating.So you know, just to be38000:26:03.619 --> 00:26:07.859careful. We talked about in thelast podcast. May Our words and a38100:26:07.900 --> 00:26:11.180couple of podcasts ago, by ourwords be completely true. We want to38200:26:11.220 --> 00:26:15.539embellish upon the truth. We don'twant to add to what's already true.38300:26:15.980 --> 00:26:18.049But yeah, I mean if awoman's at an abortion center, her baby's38400:26:18.089 --> 00:26:22.089heart is already be eatings. Youcan confidently say that. Yeah, yes,38500:26:22.250 --> 00:26:26.410of course she's there for a DECand that's probably the the line I38600:26:26.609 --> 00:26:30.250use most frequently in the first partof yeah. Almost every single time I38700:26:30.450 --> 00:26:33.319call out that, that's always goingto be in there. I'll off and38800:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.440add in brain waves at six weeks. Yeah, speaking to the humanity the38900:26:37.480 --> 00:26:41.160baby, and both of those areimportant, not because there would give the39000:26:41.200 --> 00:26:45.160baby worth, but because most womendon't know that. They really don't know39100:26:45.359 --> 00:26:48.549that. They don't know that sucha tiny little person. You know,39200:26:48.829 --> 00:26:52.869just you know what the size ofa grain of rice already has a beating39300:26:52.990 --> 00:26:56.990heart. They don't know that andthat I think that's a really critical truth39400:26:57.349 --> 00:27:02.579for them to be aware of.Yeah, along those same lines, your39500:27:02.619 --> 00:27:07.019baby already has arms, legs,fingers and toes. Now that again,39600:27:07.700 --> 00:27:12.059if we're going to be strictly true, that the baby doesn't have fingers and39700:27:12.180 --> 00:27:17.650toes till around eight weeks. Yeah, some of those babies coming in,39800:27:18.369 --> 00:27:21.329you know those moms are only goingto be five to six weeks. Yeah,39900:27:21.329 --> 00:27:25.650usually a minimum of five weeks.So I would it. I would40000:27:25.650 --> 00:27:29.609usually qualify that statement. I'd bea little bit more careful and say,40100:27:29.809 --> 00:27:33.119if you are as early as eightweeks along, your baby has arms,40200:27:33.160 --> 00:27:37.799legs, fingers, toes. Yeah, every organ in place. Yeah,40300:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.559weeks. All those developmental milestones inthat first trimester I think are very powerful40400:27:41.599 --> 00:27:45.349things. Yeah, to call out. Yeah, and you digging into it.40500:27:45.829 --> 00:27:48.549What I don't want is for peopleto be thinking like I need to40600:27:48.589 --> 00:27:53.430walk on eggshells and qualify everything andwhat if they don't have fingers and toes,40700:27:55.109 --> 00:27:57.309but me really they do. Theydo, even though they're not visible,40800:27:57.470 --> 00:28:00.859they've got fingers and toes. They'veat least got the stem cells that40900:28:00.900 --> 00:28:04.339are there that are creating those fingersand toes and early along. If you41000:28:04.380 --> 00:28:10.220see ultra sounds of babies in likefive and six weeks, they have hands,41100:28:10.660 --> 00:28:12.450they have fingers. They're kind ofwebbed looking, right, they're very41200:28:12.529 --> 00:28:15.130early, but they've got them.So, yeah, don't get hung up41300:28:15.250 --> 00:28:18.650on I want to say everything technicallyright all the time. We just want41400:28:18.650 --> 00:28:22.450to make sure the motive of ourhearts, we're not embellishing you know,41500:28:22.529 --> 00:28:26.490you if she's six weeks along andyou're saying, you know, your baby41600:28:26.049 --> 00:28:29.799is sucking its thumb or something likethat, that's just not true, right,41700:28:29.839 --> 00:28:32.279because they don't have the ability todo that at that point. Yeah,41800:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.319but we do want to talk abouthow that baby is a human being41900:28:34.559 --> 00:28:38.799and I think being intentional, whateverphrases, whatever one liners you use,42000:28:40.720 --> 00:28:45.549I think it's important to be intentionalabout using words like baby. Of course,42100:28:45.829 --> 00:28:49.109your baby, your son or daughter. I will say that all member42200:28:49.190 --> 00:28:52.829of your family. I've started youseeing a lot because they don't really think42300:28:52.990 --> 00:28:56.380of that baby yet it's a numberof their family, but indeed it is.42400:28:56.420 --> 00:29:00.259Yeah, and I think that's wedon't have it on this particular list,42500:29:00.579 --> 00:29:03.819but that's a phrase often use that. I think is powerful and it's42600:29:03.859 --> 00:29:08.619just simply that baby is your sonor your daughter. Right, that's your42700:29:08.740 --> 00:29:11.970child. I will say that.Say That to the men to that's your42800:29:12.049 --> 00:29:15.450baby, if you got her pregnant. Always qualify with that, if you42900:29:15.650 --> 00:29:18.170got her pregnant, because we seea lot of men at the abortion center43000:29:18.210 --> 00:29:22.650that are just friends or cousins orwhatever and they're bringing the girl there.43100:29:22.650 --> 00:29:26.839So I want to qualified if yougot her pregnant. Your baby is precious43200:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.119and thought of in the side ofGod. Your baby is made in the43300:29:30.160 --> 00:29:34.119image of God. Your baby,that's your son or daughter, and you're43400:29:34.200 --> 00:29:37.279required to protect this. You knowsome of the phrases that I'll use.43500:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.630And if you see another child inthe car, which is often, or43600:29:41.670 --> 00:29:45.990another baby in the car, youcan expand that to say, just like43700:29:47.230 --> 00:29:49.950that beautiful little baby in your car, yeah, just as precious in the43800:29:49.990 --> 00:29:53.500eyes of God. Yeah, toremind them that's another member of your family43900:29:53.940 --> 00:29:56.500that you are to love in thesame way that you love that child.44000:29:56.940 --> 00:30:00.059Let me rabbit trail just one secondbecause that brings something to mister. Me44100:30:00.220 --> 00:30:03.140Love to rabbit. I love torabbit trail and I want to give like44200:30:03.180 --> 00:30:07.450a stern warning, like, okay, don't do this. Okay, if44300:30:07.009 --> 00:30:11.369you're doing this at on the sidewalk, don't do it. Stay away from44400:30:11.369 --> 00:30:15.170it. That is I hope Idon't do it. I've seen people do44500:30:15.250 --> 00:30:18.289it. You have not done itfar as I can tell. But we44600:30:18.450 --> 00:30:22.000see a lot of families come intothe abortion center and often I've seen car44700:30:23.000 --> 00:30:26.240car, I'm mother and father,obviously, because obviously a mother and father44800:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.519come in with three or four kidsin the car with them to could kill44900:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.599one of the other babies, speakingto the kids and saying, do you45000:30:33.680 --> 00:30:37.910know your Mommy's going to kill yeah, your head, brother sister. I've45100:30:37.990 --> 00:30:41.150seen people do that. I'll reviewpeople for doing that. Yeah, don't45200:30:41.190 --> 00:30:45.269do that. Yeah, it's creepy. Yeah, it's weird. Yeah,45300:30:45.430 --> 00:30:48.230it's inappropriate. Yeah, and Idon't think it honors Jesus, because you45400:30:48.269 --> 00:30:52.579got to think, like what whatis that ten year old child going to45500:30:52.660 --> 00:30:56.619do? Yeah, and over thefact that they're mother's inside of the abortion45600:30:56.700 --> 00:30:59.819center, like it's yeah, don'tdo that. So well, I don't45700:31:00.700 --> 00:31:03.460nothing to do with this. It'sa good one because you you're also the45800:31:03.579 --> 00:31:07.210PSYCHEA that little child is that heloves his mommy and Daddy, and that's45900:31:07.210 --> 00:31:11.930such an important relationship and the lastthing we want to be doing is harming46000:31:11.049 --> 00:31:18.410that relationship. Hopefully, when you'respeaking to the MOMS and dad's the you're46100:31:18.450 --> 00:31:22.079usually saying things that a very youngchild is not going to really grasp.46200:31:22.160 --> 00:31:23.920Yeah, yeah, but yeah,I like really nothing you can do about46300:31:23.920 --> 00:31:26.279that. I mean, if theydecided to bring their whole family with them,46400:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.440like, I'm not gonna move awayfrom saying certain things, but I'm46500:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.869just not going to direct those thingsto the children exactly. Don't do that,46600:31:33.990 --> 00:31:37.190because that's yeah, I don't thinkthat honors Jesus and now it's weird46700:31:37.230 --> 00:31:41.430and creepy. I agree. Solet's let's jump in as we kind of46800:31:41.430 --> 00:31:44.670wrap this podcast up, to someof the things that we would call out.46900:31:44.670 --> 00:31:47.259As it pertains. Two resources,that's our third talking point, that47000:31:47.299 --> 00:31:49.460we train people to use, andreaching out of the abortion centers. So47100:31:49.579 --> 00:31:55.059the resources that are available. Soone of the things that one of our47200:31:55.099 --> 00:31:59.740counselors wrote is we have lots ofhope and help to offer you. That's47300:31:59.779 --> 00:32:02.730just a nice, NEAT statement.That is true. Yeah, and and47400:32:05.009 --> 00:32:10.329gives them two words. They needhope and help. Yeah, yeah,47500:32:10.369 --> 00:32:15.490it's good. I think I likethat it's generalized. We have lots of47600:32:15.569 --> 00:32:17.880help and hope available for you.I think also, if you can be47700:32:19.039 --> 00:32:22.920specific, especially when you're in ascenario in which there's a pregnancy center across47800:32:22.960 --> 00:32:28.279the street or just down the road, or like we have a mobile ultrasound47900:32:28.319 --> 00:32:30.990unit right there, saying hey,we have a resource available right here,48000:32:31.029 --> 00:32:35.589a free ultrasound, free pregnancy test. Free is also a good word by48100:32:35.670 --> 00:32:38.789it's an important word. Yeah,just up the road, five minutes away48200:32:38.789 --> 00:32:43.029from here, there's a pregnancy serierthat will give you a free pregnant pregnancy48300:32:43.029 --> 00:32:46.019test and ultrasound. Think to somethat's an important statement to have. It's48400:32:46.059 --> 00:32:49.859kind of like not there, buthere, sort of statement. Don't go48500:32:49.940 --> 00:32:52.059in there, go here. Yeah, and so I think as far as48600:32:52.059 --> 00:32:55.420resources are concerned, whatever your resourcesmight be, calling them out, if48700:32:55.460 --> 00:32:59.849you can be specific about them,I think it's good. We have doctors48800:32:59.890 --> 00:33:02.009that would see you free of charge. That's a common statement that we yeah,48900:33:02.089 --> 00:33:05.930that we give. Yeah, kindof a oneliner statement's true. We49000:33:06.009 --> 00:33:08.650have doctors. We have Dr Mattand other doctors that have offered their services49100:33:08.849 --> 00:33:12.849free of charge. I'll say thatYep, because I think that's powerful.49200:33:12.960 --> 00:33:16.319Yeah, whatever you face, wehave churches that are available that want to49300:33:16.519 --> 00:33:21.799help you. Week we can reallyconnect you with resources that can help no49400:33:21.920 --> 00:33:24.359matter what your situation is. Yeah, and I like this one and I49500:33:24.440 --> 00:33:28.589think we'll kind of bring up thering up the rear with this statement.49600:33:28.589 --> 00:33:31.829Okay, you're cool with that?And I think this is an empowering statement49700:33:32.509 --> 00:33:37.430and I think it's an encouraging statementand I think it's a thought provoking statement49800:33:37.470 --> 00:33:42.460that can get get a good responseand it's we have help for you.49900:33:43.220 --> 00:33:45.420Tell me why you're here, tellme your that's a goody. That's a50000:33:45.539 --> 00:33:51.299good one, because you are sayingyou are important. Your perspective on of50100:33:51.539 --> 00:33:54.140on, on your world is importantto us and we want to hear it.50200:33:54.420 --> 00:33:58.809Yeah, yeah, I really likethat one. Yeah, another statement50300:33:58.849 --> 00:34:01.369along those lines is just simply,would you come over here and just tell50400:34:01.410 --> 00:34:07.250me your story? Yeah, andit's powerful. Now, I haven't seen50500:34:07.289 --> 00:34:09.199a lot of response. I don'tuse that commonly to have heard that used,50600:34:10.599 --> 00:34:14.480but I think God can use itto provoke thought and help these women50700:34:14.519 --> 00:34:16.400to see that you care about themand potentially get them to come over and50800:34:16.480 --> 00:34:20.480talk with you. Now I haveused that when I see men milling around50900:34:20.519 --> 00:34:22.039in the parking lot and just saidhey, man, come over and just51000:34:22.079 --> 00:34:24.429tell me your story. Dude,I know you're I know you don't want51100:34:24.429 --> 00:34:27.429to be here, because I knowfor a lot of I can tell they51200:34:27.469 --> 00:34:29.510don't want to be there. Yeah, just come and tell me what's going51300:34:29.590 --> 00:34:31.150on, man. I'll say somethinglike that. And so, yeah,51400:34:31.389 --> 00:34:36.469hopefully these were some good empowering statementsfor you guys. And again, go51500:34:36.590 --> 00:34:42.380to that website or website sidewalks forlifecom equipping articles and there's an article there51600:34:42.460 --> 00:34:45.179where you can download a pdf ofjust some statements to call out. Make51700:34:45.219 --> 00:34:49.380Your own PDF.
