Episode 180: Why Christians Must Stop Being Silent About Abortion with Brian Saksa

Abortion has become the prevailing human rights crisis of our time, and many Christians remain silent. In this episode, we speak with Brian Saksa about why Christians must confront abortion with conviction, courage, and pro-life action.

Brian explains why abortion is not just a political issue, but a moral and spiritual crisis—and how passive faith within the Church has allowed abortion to continue. He shares how God moved him from silent belief to bold obedience, even at personal cost.

This episode is a clear call to Christians who say they are pro-life but struggle with fear, silence, or inaction. If you’re ready to understand what faithful obedience looks like in a culture of death, this conversation will challenge and equip you.
