Second time around, Kevin Ross tells us how difficult it is when people in church come up to you and ask, "When are you two going to start a family?" Perhaps we can learn how sensitive this topic is for people WANTING to have a child, but have been thwarted from that dream. And then....even when it causes us to wonder WHY God isn't intervening?
Kevin Ross shares a very personal story of the trials he and his wife faced. They desparately wanted to have a child, but it just didn't happen. His story is poignent and sensitive...and likely will touch the hearts of our listeners. But, as Rush used to say, "It's the REST of story you will want to hear!"
Shana Strole is an author of adorable children's books. She has captured a way to explore kindness so young children can better deal with things that are said on the playground when parents aren't around! She also shares her background and how she dealt with two miscarriages. AND... she brings her precious father to Choose Life Radio, as well! Listen here now!
What fun to connect with a pastor who's a very precious friend! When I served as the leader of several Pregnancy Centers, Pastor Berry was a dear friend. He brought his congregation to a point of securing part of their ministry resources to help pay the high costs of being on 500 radio stations across America. Berry, unfortunately, shares a difficult story from his heart that brings us to tears.
Toni Weisz shares her powerful story and is a wonderful guest speaker for Pregnancy Help Centers as well as Churches. Often Pastors feel reluctant to talk about abortion, but many women NEED to hear stories like Toni's so they can begin healing. Be brave, churches! Women attending all over the globe need the healing touch of understanding God's forgiveness.
"My Ashes to Beauty" is a women’s support ministry helping those who are facing an unplanned pregnancy, post-abortion trauma, or sexual/physical abuse. It's led by our guest, Toni Weisz, and her heart is to walk alongside them with compassion, providing resources and information, and sharing the love of Jesus.
We welcome back, our friend, George Brummell. Last week George shared about his time serving in Vietnam. Today, he shares his commitment to protect his wife who has dementia and...by the way...George is blind!
Our guest today is George Brummell, a Veteran from the Vietnam War. George shares a story that most Americans, especially age 60 or less, will be amazed to hear. And oh by the way, George authored the children's book "The Mole and the Violin".
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."
Abortion: The Case for Life: an amazing book written by two men who simply wanted to state the obvious! The gift of Life is too valuable to make the choice to end the life of an unborn child. Listen with me as we talk, again, about their desire to share a very appropriate option to abortion. And this time, we hear a lot from Mitch. :-)
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.

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!

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!
Our guest, Candice Sessions, shares with Choose Life Radio her story of LIFE. I want to remind you, our listener, that we are being privileged with true stories about LIFE. And the very reason this radio program is available to you is that you might share a testimony that impacts you with someone you know. And, again and again, I'm so grateful for your prayers and financial support.
Dr. Donald Sweeting, the former president of Colorado Christian University and current Chancellor, speaks today with Jill Shuler Taylor. As an engaging author, Don Sweeting has co-authored two books: "How to Finish the Christian Life" and "Lessons from the Life of Moody". Donald's insights into Christian education and college students are amazing.
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.

Jor-El Godsey is a man who has a tremendous vision for pregnancy centers across America and internationally.

Dawn Bethel is the Director of Client Service at a significant pregnancy help organization in the mid-west. But, there's a deeper reason Dawn is sharing her story today, listener, and it’s a very personal reason. Dawn allows me and you, our listener, to understand the very high cost of abortion.
Today we share a dream with our guest, Missy Martinez-Stone. Her quest? To put an end to abortion and the destruction of innocent lives using a powerful organization, Reprotection.

Actually, it's our family to yours! Merry Christmas, dear listener!
After meeting Karen Bejjani, I have been blessed to interview her kind husband, Renod. He is the author of Muslims, 5 Biblical Essentials Every Christian Must Know and Do, and The Way to Paradise, a ground-breaking, gospel-centered Bible study for Muslims, tailored for their worldview. If you want to share Jesus Christ with your Muslim neighbors, listen in to the perfect way to share Christ with them authentically.
Karen founded iHOPE Ministries with her husband, Renod, to awaken the Church and share their faith and desire to share Jesus Christ with Muslims and other non-Believers. iHOPE has emboldened tens of thousands of Christians worldwide to share the hope of Jesus across cultural and religious divides. Karen grew up in America’s heartland unaware of people of other faiths. She pursued the American Dream and built a successful career as a corporate executive. But God had other plans. Karen is using her corporate skills to embolden everyday Christian women to share their faith across religious boundaries. She is the host of the “Blue Cord” podcast, a catalyst for Christian women who know they “should be” sharing their faith.
This lady hits the nail on the head! Churches need to hear and SEE the issue of abortion. And then we, the body of Christ, must do everything in our power to save lives.
We met under unique circumstances. It was right after she had knee replacements, so she was stuck in bed, listening to Choose Life Radio. Our conversation about LIFE as treated in liberal states like Oregon, became one of my favorites. Listen in, won't you?
Lauren Mazyka, ESQ is back with us today. She is the leadership of Sidewalk Advocates for Life. We have brought her back to help us understand the threats against those who are attempting to be sidewalk counselors. It has been a pleasure to have her with us in previous disussions on Choose Life Radio, and today we will address perhaps the biggest threat to sidewalk advocacy.
Lauren has a law degree, but she found her heart spoke a different language. She is the CEO/President of Sidewalk Advocates for Life, and she is more than able to go head-to-head with abortionists. Lauren is so capable of training and supporting sidewalk advocates who are able to share the truth about life to women heading into an abortion mill where her child will be destroyed in the womb. Such an important interview, so listen up and then think...could I do that? The answer is YES!
We recently spoke with Fran Drennan, but I wanted to bring her back and asked her husband, Denny, to join us. When we say "there's more to this story." we mean there's Denny! Nothing but the bottom line, the whole story of LIFE that God gives us, and the importance on not letting that LIFE go down the drain with alcohol.
Some women are simply beautiful within, others are also gorgeous on the outside, as well! But beauty doesn't equal happiness, and Fran shares her story of alcohol, divorce and loss. Redemption is the key to this awesome interview.
If you know someone who is feeling sorry for themselves, share this amazing interview with Bradley Walker. What a story of allowing God to use us, no matter how much we feel we don't have a lot to offer. Once you hear Bradley Walker sing (and create songs) and then connect the dots with his incapacities, well...his interview shares a lot...but his singing is just awesome!
David Zanotti left his family's manufacturing company in 1985 to join The Roundtable and he currently serves as President/CEO of The American Policy Roundtable and The Public Square® Media Network. He's a man with a heart for LIFE, and his gift is helping voters understand the capability vs the liability of people on the ballot! He also serves as President of Roundtable Freedom Forum, a legislative organization. Zanotti isn't concerned which party you belong to...he cares about you knowing the real person hoping to be elected! Believe you me...Dave Zanotti can be trusted!
President and CEO Lauren Muzyka has to run a tight ship...because she's going head-to-head with the abortion industry. If it takes walking the sidewalks to keep eyes open, Lauren is willing and able. Her job is to protect the unborn, and her best work is done in front of abortion mills. She has over 20 years of sidewalk-outreach experience, including participating in the very first 40 Days for Life campaign and later serving as 40 Days for Life’s campaign strategist, advising their 300+ campaigns in North America. Inspired by the transformative power of prayer and peaceful outreach on the sidewalk, Lauren founded Sidewalk Advocates for Life in 2014.
In part two, Nancy brings us through the loss of a precious husband, feeling all the more responsible to the hundreds of people who count on her and finding time to set up boundaries so she can deal with the pain in her life. And, perhaps the best part, is the man God provided--even though her mind was made up to remain alone...lock and keyed!
Nancy Dornan is known and loved by so many people, but she doesn't like to talk about herself. She wants to make sure you, the listener, gains strength and confidence from what she shares. In part two, Nancy brings us through the loss of a precious husband, feeling all the more responsible to the hundreds of people who count on her and finding time to set up boundaries so she can deal with the pain in her life. And, perhaps the best part, is the man God provided--even though her mind was made up to remain alone...lock and keyed!
Following up on last week's interview with a college campus psychologist, our guest today meets with younger kids in both private and public schools. She shares that many kids are lost--having very few friends gets more painful and more evident when you don't see them in person. How detrimental has Covid been to our youth? Very detrimental!
Counseling often starts at home...just ask Dr. Melanie Taylor. Her desire is that every student attending college, who feels left out or like they are being targeted, has a place to go to talk with someone. Melanie shares the cost of Covid that has made life away from home even more difficult.
There were times when Greg's wife, Michelle, couldn't tell if Greg was dead or alive. And as they share, it seems they both were lost. But God had great purpose for Greg and Michelle. They are alive today and singing God's love and care...through it all! A miraculous story to share with someone warring with alcohol.
This precious man, Greg King, looks like he could never do a wrong thing. NEVER! But when we factor in alcohol, we are dealing with more than just our own mindset. Now we've opened the door and let Satan have at it! Oh, yes...it will touch every listener hearing.
Dr. Haywood Robinson gives us a picture of LIFE...first his time with his wife, Noreen, as they both gained lots of money doing abortions, and second, as God touched Haywood's heart. What a difference a LIFE of salvation is!
If you missed his first interview last week, please go back to grasp the issues youth deal with, especially as a migrant to this country. Part 2 is the completion of Neil's very difficult story. God is our redeemer!
Neil Alvarado is a personal friend of the Taylor family. As a teenager, Neil attended a Bible Study for Christian Athletes that took place in our home. While Neil asked for Christ to enter His heart, his home, his parents and grandparents told him he would never amount to anything. His interview is beyond painful as well as redemptive.
Scott is a great guest to invite back, because his understanding and wise counsel is such a help. He shares how we are to navigate our own state's preference of dealing with abortion. And perhaps, every bit as important, that every child is a CHILD at conception. So the discussion of 3 months, 6 months, 9 months being considered when our laws should allow NO abortions...well, because "a person's a person, no matter how small!"
Herbie Newell fully shares the loving gift of adoption. Before joining Lifeline Children's Services as their Executive Driector, Herbie was the Senior Accountant for Warren, Averett, Kimbrough, & Marino, an accounting firm in AL. Trust this, every non-profit organization would love to have a top-notch accountant on staff, but Herbie's heart is for the child waiting to be adopted, hoping for a home where a family wants them as their own. Lifeline Children's Services places children in Christian homes. What an accomplishment as you hear Herbie's story.
What a mystery we unpack as we talk with Tony Myers. His life as a child was reckless and got more risky as he aged. He didn't want to ever "hear" the name of Jesus. When he met his wife-to-be, they married on the condition that she could have her faith in Jesus Christ, but she was never to try to get him to go to church! What a surprising turn around that gives us hope for our loved ones straying from God.
Our conversation with Jim Daly opened doors for understanding the ministry of Focus on the Family. But it also reveals a story of a lost boy growing up without parents due to tragic happenings at an early age. Jim is vulnerable, a teacher of God's Word, and a real friend the minute you meet him. Share this interview with your family and friends!
Chris Long is the President of Christian Alliance of America and the voice of Ohio Christian Alliance. Both organizations deal with public policy and voter education representing Christian interests before the legislature and the U.S. Congress. Ohio Christian Alliance has produced and distributed over 9 million voter guides for distribution to thousands of churches in all 88 counties in Ohio since 2002. Both organizations advocate for pro-life, pro-family, religious liberty and First Amendment issues. Chris's interview is clear and concise--just like we like it for Choose Life Radio!

His Christian faith is evident in this powerful interview.
Janet Parshall has her own radio program! So, why would she be sharing her wisdom with us on Choose Life Radio? Because she is a believer and she knows that every creation in the womb is given by God, and we must speak that truth to America.
