The Debrief: Pro-Life Outreach
We create dialogue about abortion in the public square. Then we debrief. Join us for behind-the-scenes conversations after pro-life outreach. Each week, Seth, Maggie, and Ethan play audio clips from outreach and respond in real time. Whether you’re outspoken against abortion or skeptical of the pro-life case, we invite you to come debrief with us.
