Choose Life Radio

Mondo De La Vega is a first for our program. Why? Because before he became a believer, he was a gang member, harming people, stealing, and so much more...UNTIL...he met Jesus!

Katie Brown serves the American Life League as Director of Communications. She states, "This provides a wonderful opportunity for those who retain fond memories of the scouting years to support a new generation of girls without having to endorse the objectionable philosophies now espoused by both Boys and Girls Scout USA."

Our guest today is Andrea Trudden. She serves as Vice-President at Heartbeat International. Hear Andrea's beautiful testimony to her first born son. Andrea placed him for adoption. "It has been a long journey, but I’m glad to have had the chance to bring you into the world and grace a family with the gift of you, son. You will always be in my heart, and I love you."

When we first met Steventhen Holland, we had just begun this ministry of Choose Life Radio. I heard him speak at a pregnancy center in our area, and his countenance was so amazing...purely from his relationship with God. He is back to let us know how he navigated through a Caucasian adoption as a black man. It's a story only God could provide in the life of Steventhen! And it all began with his name!

We are so proud to bring Kelly Lester back this week. After hearing her story last week, I do hope you, our listener, shared her testimony. So I'm assuming you also invited them to join us for this part 2 with Kelly Lester. Tighten your seat belts!!! But have NO FEAR. God is with us all the way with Kelly's profound story today.

Our guest, Kelly Lester, allows us to have two interviews. Why? Because she is a very strong representative of someone dealing with a deep and hurtful childhood. That trend continutes for Kelly in the relationships she accepted as an adult. Kelly shares her complicated past and the painful ways she disappoints her precious father, whom she loved. That father prayed to Our Father to protect his daughter, Kelly. Great testimony for us all!

We recently talked with Bur Shilling about the importance of understanding the trajectory currently aimed right at Israsel. But, today, I asked him to join us once more to discuss the education of our youth--from kindergartner to college. If YOU are a student wondering what you can best do to help this upcoming generation, be a teacher who shares Christ in loving, in caring, and best -- in words and prayers.

Our guest caller, Stephanie, shares the struggles she has faced in her life. She delicately shares the story of her daughter, now in the hands of a man, deeply concernable. Stephanie's passion to protect her beautiful daughter with special needs from a man with a reputation for harming women makes this an interview that requires our prayers. Thank you for caring AND praying for young girls around the world who are being abused sexually.

Dr. Bur Shilling is a long-standing friend of my husband's--they went to college together at Taylor University, and that means a lot! But, he's also a minister who leads Christian groups to Israel. He shares the Bible and Christ throughout the tour. So today, I've asked him to discuss Israel in 2024. Join us, won't you?

Do you have a birthmark? I did, once upon a time. My mother called it a "beauty mark", but after my fourties, the doctor said, "it's got to go"! Today we have an awesome "birth-mark" story, and adoption is at the center, as is meeting a birth mother and the gift God gives--LIFE! While Kathy does most of the actual interview, it's a MUST to hear Roger's poinant words at the very end. He had me in tears!

Stephen E. Strang is an evangelical publisher and author of Spirit Led Living in an Upside-down World. Stephen is also the founder and chief executive officer of Charisma Media. His book will challenge the reader, and the interview unpacks America "upside down!" right now.

Frequently, Jonathan quotes Genesis 18:14, "Is anything too hard for our LORD?" when autographing copies of his first book. It's both a nod to his own "miracle" pregnancy for him and his wife. And, it's also a statement of faith for every believer's future.

Jonathan is our guest this week on Choose Life Radio. The power of this Christ-Follower is his impact on every person hearing his testimony as a guest preacher. But that's not all--he also provides the most amazing songs through his powerfull voice. Listen in...you won't be disappointed.

Part two of our interview with Henry Thomas Weber. If you missed his interview last week, best go back and listen to it so you can connect his wisdom and his concerns about America.

Henry Thomas Weber, author of "Americans We Were" is our guest on Choose Life Radio. The book is heavy...I mean REALLY heavy, but you won't fall asleep as Henry shares Leviticus 25:10 in his forward. "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof." Powerful man with a powerful message.

The Amish people have a lot to say about LIFE. Choose Life Radio has been blessed to have a significant friend, Milo Miller. Milo was Amish when he married his precious wife, Kathryn. Before she would marry Milo, she made sure he really knew Christ as his savior. They have been a twined couple serving God across the world, and the food at his restaurant is excellent!. Listen as Milo shares the mighty ministry through the years of Kathryn and Milo Miller!

Kimberly is an adopted child. This gift is often a huge blessing that also comes with some challenges. Married to Matt, Kim has two children. She was adopted in 1982, just as agencies began actually putting interviews for adopties online. Kim's adoptive parents were wonderful. Her story captures the love of her adopting family as well as loving the "mother" who protected her life by placing her for adoption.

Two men took time away from their work to write a "Booklet" about LIFE titled Abortion: The Case For Life--Clarity for the Christian. Greg Mack spoke on Choose Life Radio for the two of them, but for sure, these two warriors for LIFE wrote something we can share with anyone considering an abortion. Check out Abortion: The Case For Life by Mitch McKelvey and Greg Mack. And then stock your shelves so you have something easy to understand, valuable to hear and worth the "voices" of all the innocent aborted children.

Julz is a first-time mom with Harper. Her work, however, is all about babies! Julz is the Communications and PR specialist at Save the Storks, where she writes copy for all the marketing materials needed for centers and supporters. Her gift is ensuring that Save the Storks' messaging is always consistent and on brand.

David Hughens is a Christ follower and he's working on his first crowdfunded film. Made With Love stars an individual with Down Syndrome. David is passionate about this movie because he wants people who view Made with Love to grasp the tremendous value we have in the lives of those born with Down Syndrome. And it's crawdfunded, so you and I can add our support financially. Good deal all around!

Coach Terrell Young cares about kids! He currently serves Wake County Public School System as a School Administrator. His gift if counseling students, encouraging them to engage and thrive! His Pastor's heart plays a big part as students see him as the REAL DEAL!  Just call him "Coach!"

Unfortunately, crimes are being committed all across America. Today's guest is Khila Coleman, and she is the first victims assistance coordinator in Hutto, TX - just outside Austin. Her kind and gentle voice gives us a taste of how she helps victims calm down from a terrifying experience. Listen in...she'll immediately be your new friend!

When the HOUSE SPEAKER speaks, you listen! Our guest today is Daniel Hawkins, Kansas House Speaker. And if you think your government representative doesn't care about the people being served, you will know immediately that isn't Danial Hawkins. Join us as we talk about LIFE.

Our guest today is Dr. Carla Ludwig. She is a non-profit executive, author and speaker. She's also the founder of Hope for Single Moms, a faith-based non-profit moving single mom families from poverty to prosperity by removing the barriers single moms have. She shares how she helps single mothers to get a career education. Her conversation is very inspiring!

I'm grateful for Rob Walgate, of The Public Square, as he shares the concerns we should be addressing across our nation--the question of abortion being offered in schools without parental awareness. Many states are being highjacked by political swaying to accept abortion without parental awareness. I call that murder! Listen in as Rob discusses this extremely important topic. And then, run to your governor and your representatvies and stand for the LIFE of the unborn...please?

We welcome back Rebecca Kiessling, this time to talk about the tragic loss of two adopted sons--and she warns us of what fentenol can and WILL do to harm inocent people. Thank you, Rebecca, for this passionate story! If you are looking for a speaker for your Christian organization, I strongly suggest Rebecca Kiessling!

Rebecca Kiessling trusts God because otherwise, she couldn't possibly deal with the disappointments and losses that have come into her life. Rebecca was adopted at birth, but 18 years later she learned she was conceived out of a brutal rape at knife-point by a serial rapist. "I’d never considered that abortion applied to my life, but once I received this information, all of a sudden I realized that, not only does it apply to my life, but it has to do with my very existence." This is a story that will prove God's love...and a faith big enough to accept that love.

Robert Kilo, Senior Director of Advancement at Center for Christian Virtue, shares with us today the importance of voting for LIFE at the state level. "The mission of CCV is to seek the good of our neighbors by advocating for public policy that reflects the truth of the Gospel."  Robert is humble and kind, but God has planted a strong heart in this man to protect the unborn.  "Vote LIFE", says Robert.

Today's guest is Simon Woodstock. Yes...I'm sure that last name brings back the days of Woodstock...but it's not Simon's story. As a strong leader, he shares the ministry he leads as the Director of Assure Pregnancy located in San Bernadino County, California. Men....take notice!

Kind listener, I asked Dr. Patti Giebink, MD to join us again because she is a wealth of information of the things physicians are asked or required to do. Her testimony has caused me to pray fervently for all physicians to stop doing abortions in our country that claims FREEDOM for ALL--born and unborn!

I watched an interview with Dr. Patti Giebink, MD, and I knew I wanted to bring her to you, my listener. When I contacted her, she was surprised and a bit shocked that I would reach out to her. But when you hear her story, I'm sure you will be grateful that she shared HER career and HER story!

David Bereit has a lot on his plate, but he doesn't hesitate to join me on Choose Life Radio!  Why?  Because his passion is to help women and men choose LIFE.  Hear his articulate discussion about the value of every unborn child.

Susan Geouge is a walking testament to what God has done in her life!  Everyone she passes by, she says aloud, "God bless you!" And with those words shared with me in a grocery parkinglot, I had to walk back to hear her story.  And now, you can hear it, as well!

Being a California girl growing  up, I loved swimming in the ocean. Our guest, Lindsay Bruns, also enjoys that...accept...her story might surprise you!

What a joy to talk with Dr. Haywood Robinson, once again, and meet his second wife (after his first passed away). Welcome Daphne Robinson to Choose Life Radio!

Talking, again, with Sue Justice about her work with The Justice Foundation. This interview is a great opportunity to share with those who have experienced a forced abortion.  Even years later, there is a safe place to find Justice!

It was a priviledge to talk with Sue Justice as she unwraps her passion to help women and men become protectors of LIFE including the unborn...the most vulnerable, for sure.

It’s beautiful when pastors insert themselves in pregnancy center ministries. Today John shares with us how his commitment to the local church and pregnancy ministries in this country led him to found and lead  PassionLife Ministries by training Christian leaders in countries suffering the highest rates of abortion.

While there are numerous issues and concerns related to how each of us might feel about the Ukrainian war, now well into its’ second year, all of us—as believers—recognize the importance of helping those who have been tragically displaced from their country. Our guest today shares her story of working with Ukrainian refugees.

Sometimes—albeit rarely—Choose Life Radio gets a surprise guest.  After the incident at Hunter College made news across the country, we contacted Students for Life of America staff to get their understanding on the scattering of a pro-life display by a Hunter College faculty member. We were privileged to interview with Savannah Craven, NE Field Operations Coordinator.

Today’s interview with Mike Gilland gives me hope that I might someday be as good as Mike when it comes to interviewing guests on the radio. From pastor to local radio personality, his greatest gift is his ability to communicate his relationship with God.

We are hearing a lot about Ukraine right now, however, we aren't hearing from the heart of the Church in Ukraine. Our guest today will share from his heart experiences of those who have been able to flee...and those who remain in Ukraine, This wonderful interview is a call to all Christians to pray, pray, PRAY!

Dr. Ben Carson is slow to anger and amazingly quiet, even when being interviewed. But, in the midst of his interview, he giggled about something and that's when we got to see the precious personality of Dr. Ben Carson. His story begins with a broken family...a mother trying to balance two jobs every day while having to leave two boys alone. Ben Carson is who he is today because of his amazing mother who made sure he was educated, polite and staying away from the gangs!

Tiffany Matthews addresses very personal, very touching  issues about miscarriage, and she uncovers the pain and loss many women have experienced without much support. There is no celebration with miscarriage. There is no baby shower, and there is no baby. Tiffany touches the hearts of many women who have experienced this loss.

Yes, John Stonestreet is a close friend of Choose Life Radio. And his interview today is about our culture. He weighs in on the topic of schools influencing our youth and the presure to accept gender changes in young lives. Listen in, and you will be better able to influence your school board.

Connie Hagen shares in her book, Drinking the Cup, the story of being an ordained pastor and a professional counselor--helping women recover from trauma. Through her ministry she has cultivated an ability to connect with women who have experienced suffering, loss, brokenness, grief and shame. This is a strong story from a strong woman!

Jimmy Graham (CEO of Able Shepherd and Veteran U.S. Navy Seal) talks about firearm suicide prevention. Please listen and share this important interview with your school board. Your children deserve to be protected.
