This is the audio from yesterday's Facebook Live event where Josh Brahm talked about what he learned about the controversial Marshae Jones case, where a pregnant woman's baby died as a result of a gunshot in a fight, and yet the mother has been charged.

| COURSE PODCAST CLIP: When They Bite the Bullet - Part 3 | 24 Aug 2017 | 00:06:08 | |
Every other Wednesday we publish a new episode of the Equipped for Life Podcast, available to everyone who purchases our course, "Equipped for Life: A Fresh Approach to Conversations about Abortion." Generally, these podcast episodes won’t be available to the general public, but we plan on releasing short clips from the episodes every Thursday, to give you a sense of what these podcasts are like. In this episode of the Equipped for Life Course Podcast, Josh, Tim, and Jacob conclude their discussion of how to respond when people bite the bullet by discussing the examples of infanticide and moral relativism. In these clips from the full episode, Josh and Tim argue about whose approach to responding to relativists is more effective. Note: As we explained in the first clip, the audio from the first three episodes of the podcast is distorted due to a technical problem. This was resolved before the next recording session. Please excuse the low quality of these first three Equipped for Life Podcast clips. | |||
| When a Hypothetical Story Isn’t Hypothetical After All | 21 Aug 2017 | 00:08:23 | |
Sometimes when I talk about abortion with strangers, it feels like I’ve already had that conversation before, because they’re making familiar statements. But the truth is, I haven’t had that conversation before, because I haven’t heard that statement from that person before. Even though some statements are very common, different people mean very different things by them. A recent conversation I had with a hotel shuttle driver named “Mark” reminded me that while I may have heard the same words before, I hadn’t heard his story before. I think there’s a lesson you can learn from this situation that will help you have better dialogues with pro-choice people.

| Abortion Images: A Case for Disagreement without Division | 31 Jul 2017 | 00:14:26 | |
Timothy Brahm reads an article that represents the one time we've gone public with our thoughts about one of the most divisive topics within the pro-life movement.

| Why Rhonda Changed Her Mind About Whether to Use the Word “Pro-Choice” | 27 Jul 2017 | 00:07:21 | |
It’s not always easy for a pro-life person to go from using the label they’ve always preferred to a different one. When we talk to people we form habits, and getting out of habits is always difficult. In this video Josh Brahm tells the brief story of a woman named Rhonda who decided to change one of the labels she used to favor.

| FULL COURSE PODCAST: Listener Mail - Questions About Confirmation Bias | 24 Jul 2017 | 00:51:03 | |
Every other Tuesday we publish a new episode of the Equipped for Life Podcast, available to everyone who purchases our course, “Equipped for Life: A Fresh Approach to Conversations about Abortion.” Generally these podcast episodes won’t be available to the general public, but we plan on occasionally making exceptions, and we’ve decided to make this episode available to everybody. In this episode Josh and Tim Brahm talk about confirmation bias and why that’s a difficult thing to avoid during this political season. Some of the questions we respond to in this episode: - How hard should we work to balance our social media feeds so that we see both sides of multiple issues when we log into Facebook or Twitter? - Are there any pro-choice films that you recommend to anti-abortion thinkers? In addition, are there any pro-choice films you deem to be morally reprehensible and therefore undeserving of pro-life viewership?” The episode begins with some pre-show banter, which is common for this podcast. In this case the topic ends up directly tying with the main topic for the show.

| Learning to Allow Space for the Thinking Pause - by Timothy Brahm | 27 Apr 2017 | 00:07:28 | |
You can’t dialogue well about abortion or anything else unless you learn to listen well. It should be obvious to anyone that if you want to listen well you shouldn’t interrupt people when they’re in the middle of a sentence. Something much less obvious is that you shouldn’t interrupt people when they’re in the middle of an important thought. An excellent listener should develop both the wisdom to recognize and the patience to allow space for a thinking pause. | |||

In November of 2017 the Holy Family Respect Life Committee, in conjunction with Charles County Right to Life, invited Josh Brahm and David Bereit to speak at their annual pro-life conference in Southern Maryland. After the keynote sessions, Josh and David did a panel discussion and Q&A, joined by Michele Hendrickson, Capital Area Regional Director for Students for Life of America and Heather Sells, CEO of the Catherine Foundation, a local Pregnancy Resource Center. The panel discussion was hosted by Ali Rak from the Southern Maryland Pro-Life Symposium. Apologies for occasional audio issues in the panel discussion. They used tabletop panel discussion mics and when Heather would turn her head away from the mic sometimes her mic sort of cuts out. We've made some edits where possible, and you can always get the gist of what she's saying. Questions:

| Five Lessons for Pro-Lifers from the Women’s March | 21 May 2018 | 00:12:52 | |
When the first Women’s March happened in 2017, Rachel was a senior in College. She was taking women’s studies classes, so she was surrounded by people who were promoting, organizing, and going to the Women’s March. She felt immersed in that culture, and it was a really interesting experience for her. This post, inspired by that experience, takes that Women’s March and pro-choice activism and looks at what pro-life advocates can learn from what they did right and discusses what we should do differently.

Generally, these podcast episodes won’t be available to the general public, but we plan on releasing short clips from the episodes every Thursday, to give you a sense of what these podcasts are like. In this episode of the Equipped for Life Course Podcast, Rachel interviews Lori Navrodtzke, a Pregnancy Resource Center counselor and Justice For All volunteer, about how to dialogue with people about abortion if they’ve already had one. In this clip, Rachel and Lori discuss how we should proceed in the conversation if we ask someone if they have had a personal abortion experience and they say “no.” They also give some examples of how to let people know about post-abortive healing, even if they don’t feel like they need it at this time.
