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. Once you dig into the story, it's more complicated than the headlines imply.

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.

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.

In this episode of the Equipped for Life Course Podcast, Josh, Tim, and Jacob discuss the things they generally do when people “bite the bullet,” or accept the awful natural conclusion of their argument.

In this clip from the full episode, you'll hear us discuss:

• Why this topic is especially important for ERI-trained students;
• How the dialogue atmosphere influences whether or not people will bite the bullet;
• A summary of Tim's general responses to people biting the bullet.

The way our society uses the word “shaming” is complicated. In this piece Josh Brahm discusses three different types of shaming and how they relate to abortion.
