Care Net's CareCast: Recent Episodes
Care Net
? As more public voices argue that Jesus never addressed abortion directly—or that Mary's response to God affirms a woman's right to choose—Christians are left asking an important question: What does Scripture actually teach?In this episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro examine these growing theological claims through the lens of Scripture. Together they explore Jesus' command to love our neighbor, Mary's humble obedience in Luke 1:38, and why the gospel consistently points to the sanctity of every human life rather than the sanctity of personal autonomy.You'll discover why the biblical response to an unplanned pregnancy is not condemnation or political rhetoric, but compassion, practical support, discipleship, and the hope found in Jesus Christ. This conversation also highlights Care Net's Pro Abundant Life vision—saving babies, strengthening families, and making disciples—as a faithful expression of God's design for life.Whether you're seeking biblical clarity, engaging difficult cultural conversations, or equipping others to defend life with both truth and grace, this episode offers thoughtful insights rooted in God's Word.Join the conversation as we ask a foundational question: Does Scripture teach the sanctity of choice—or the sanctity of life?
What does Care Net’s Pro Abundant Life vision actually look like in practice? Saving babies, building strong families, and making disciples sounds inspiring, but how does it work in churches, pregnancy centers, and communities?In this episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro conclude their four-part series by answering one of the most important questions surrounding the Pro Abundant Life movement: How does this vision translate into real ministry?Drawing from years of experience with pregnancy centers and churches across the country, they explain how the vision emerged from real-world needs and biblical truth—not theory. They also highlight powerful examples from ministries in Holland, Michigan, and First Baptist Orlando, where churches and pregnancy centers are working together to provide support, discipleship, and lasting transformation.In this episode:• It Starts with the Central QuestionIf a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy came to you and you could change everything except the fact that she is pregnant, what would you want for her? The answer points beyond saving a baby to building families and making disciples. Isaiah 7:14 reveals how God answered that question for Mary through Joseph and the family He provided.• The Church Must Lead, Not Merely SupportPregnancy centers repeatedly expressed the need for greater church involvement. Roland and Vince explain why abortion is not merely a political issue, but a discipleship issue. When churches embrace their Great Commission calling, they move from supporting the movement to leading it.• Transformation Happens Through PartnershipStories from Holland, Michigan, and First Baptist Orlando show what happens when pregnancy centers and churches work together. Women receive practical help, families are strengthened, and many who were once served return to serve others. This is the difference between transactional ministry and transformational ministry.The Pro Abundant Life vision is not simply about preventing abortion. It is about helping mothers, fathers, and children experience the abundant life Jesus promised in John 10:10. When churches and pregnancy centers work together, lives are not only saved—they are transformed.Watch now and discover what Pro Abundant Life ministry looks like in the real world.
In Part 3 of this four-part CareCast series, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro address one of the biggest questions about the Pro Abundant Life perspective: if we focus on saving babies, building strong families, and making disciples, are we creating an unattainable workload?Roland and Vince explain why the answer is no. When the mission is framed by Scripture—living out the Great Commandment to fulfill the Great Commission—the work is not expanded beyond what God calls His people to do. It is brought back into proper focus.In this episode, they discuss why the “job description” matters, how the central question clarifies the work, and why gospel-centered transformation prevents compassion fatigue. A Pro Abundant Life approach does not exhaust the movement; it reconnects the work to Christ, the local church, and the transforming power of the gospel.
For years, the pro-life conversation has centered on one urgent goal: saving unborn lives. But what if that focus—while essential—isn’t enough to actually solve the problem?In this episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro challenge a common assumption: that addressing issues like fatherhood, marriage, and discipleship somehow distracts from saving babies. Instead, they make the case that these aren’t “extra” issues at all—they are the strategy. When you ask a deeper question—what would we want for a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy if we could change everything but the fact that she’s pregnant—you begin to see a fuller picture emerge.This conversation unpacks why:Saving a baby is the starting point, not the finish lineStrong families are essential to breaking the cycle of abortionThe gospel is the only answer to the deeper, spiritual realities behind abortion decisionsIf the goal is not just to save a life, but to build a life that lasts, it requires more than information or policy—it requires transformation through relationships, discipleship, and the local church.The Pro Abundant Life perspective reframes the mission: not just leading people to a decision, but leading them to the cross.Explore more at https://care-net.org/abundant-life-blog/added-issues-church-instead-of-pro-life-movement/
Does focusing on fatherhood, marriage, and discipleship distract from the goal of saving unborn lives? In this episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro explain why the answer is no—and why those issues may actually be central to ending abortion.They challenge the idea that saving a baby is the full solution. Instead, they argue that if we want to save this baby and future babies, we also need to think about the father, the family, and the transforming power of the gospel. Some women face abortion because support is missing. Others are shaped by a worldview that places self above all else. Both realities require more than a slogan—they require a Pro Abundant Life response.This episode explores why real change means more than a decision in the moment. It means building families, making disciples, and creating the kind of support that helps life flourish long after birth.

In this episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro unpack Care Net’s newly released Community Savings Report and reveal a story that often goes unnoticed. The data shows more than impact—it shows transformation.In just one year, Care Net’s network of pregnancy centers delivered over $143 million in free services to nearly half a million women and men, strengthening families, reducing strain on local social services, and quietly helping entire communities flourish.But the conversation goes deeper than the numbers.Roland and Vince contrast two models of care:• A transactional approach that addresses crisis but often leads to burnout• A transformational Pro-Abundant Life approach rooted in relationship, discipleship, and long-term supportThey also highlight why partnership with the local church is the missing link in many pro-life efforts—and how integration into spiritual community breaks cycles of crisis for good.📊 This episode explores:• Why pregnancy centers are a net positive for communities• How holistic care renews both clients and staff• What happens when compassion, truth, and discipleship work together🔗 Learn more about the Community Savings Report and Care Net’s Pro-Abundant Life vision. https://care-net/abundant-life-blog/care-net-community-report-2025
CEO Roland Warren and Chief Outreach Officer Vincent DiCaro unpack new data revealing a growing disconnect between the pro-life label and biblical conviction. When abortion is framed primarily as a political issue, definitions shift. But when life is rooted in the image of God, the standard does not move.This conversation challenges the church to step back into its role—not as a political echo, but as a moral and spiritual leader—offering a Pro Abundant Life vision grounded in Scripture, compassion, and discipleship.👉 Watch, reflect, and join the conversation.
Does the pro-life movement need a reset?In this episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro take a hard look at where the pro-life movement stands today—and where it needs to go next. Despite the overturning of Roe v. Wade, abortions are rising again, driven by the abortion pill and a culture that treats abortion as normal.Roland and Vince explore why lasting change won’t come from politics alone. True transformation starts when the Church leads the way—helping families, discipling parents, and living out God’s design for abundant life. Hear how churches like First Baptist Orlando are showing what this reset looks like: saving lives, strengthening marriages, and making disciples under one roof.Want to bring this vision to your church?

A new University of Virginia study led by Brad Wilcox confirms what decades of data—and God’s design—already show: children flourish when fathers are engaged and married to moms. But as CareCast hosts Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro explain, the implications go far beyond family health.Care Net and Lifeway Research revealed that the most influential voice in a woman’s pregnancy decision is the man involved. That means today’s “boy crisis” isn’t just cultural—it’s a life issue. When boys grow up without strong male role models, they often become men who feel unprepared or unwilling to lead, love, and stay.In this episode, Roland and Vince connect the dots between fatherhood, marriage, and the pro-life movement—showing why mentoring boys is good, but married fatherhood is essential.Listen now and discover how the pro-life movement can move beyond saving babies to raising godly men who shape families and communities for generations.
What does “cool” have to do with abortion? More than you think. In this episode, Roland Warren and Vince DiCaro unpack a recent study that defined six traits our culture calls cool—extroverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open, and autonomous—and ask a daring question: is the public case for abortion just another expression of those same values?From ad campaigns to celebrity activism, Roland and Vince trace how “cool” thinking drives today’s abortion narratives—and then contrast it with the holiness of Christ: sacrifice over self-preservation, humility over control, and compassion over convenience.This isn’t just about style; it’s about worldview. Discover how “cool” leads to self-focus, while holiness leads to abundant life.🎧 Listen now to CareCast: You Can Be Cool or Holy—Not Both—and explore what happens when the gospel redefines what’s truly worth following.

Episode SummaryFor the first time, CareCast is also available in video. In this episode, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro take on our culture’s “my truth” moment and make the Pro Abundant Life case for something sturdier: objective truth. What happens to conversations about abortion when truth gets personalized—and how can the church respond with grace and clarity?What you’ll hearWhen truth gets personal, debate turns hostile: If truth is purely individual, disagreement feels like a personal attack. That mindset fuels division and shuts down honest dialogue. Loving our neighbors begins with agreeing there’s a truth outside of us.Why it mattersReal love and justice require more than personal preference. This conversation equips pastors, leaders, and church members to speak clearly, listen compassionately, and disciple families well.HostsRoland Warren, Vincent DiCaroAlso availableWatch the video edition of this episode on our channels.Join the conversationHow have you seen “my truth” shape the abortion discussion, and how can the church respond with both grace and truth?

In the second half of this powerful CareCast conversation, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro dive deeper into the Parable of the Good Samaritan and its implications for the pro-life movement today.The message is clear: advocacy alone is not enough. Without the compassion and commitment that come from understanding who our neighbor truly is, even the most well-intentioned laws fall short. It's time for the church to reclaim its voice and mission—not simply to be pro-life, but to live out the abundant life that Christ calls us to.

Is the pro-life movement being led by the wrong voice? In the newest CareCast, Care Net President and CEO Roland Warren and Chief Outreach Officer Vincent DiCaro ask a bold and necessary question: are we letting politics shape our values more than Scripture? When it comes to abortion, too often the podium speaks louder than the pulpit.
What if the biggest argument against the abortion pill is the one we rarely lead with? While recent data reveals alarming risks to women’s health—including a serious adverse event rate of over 11 percent—the greatest danger of the abortion pill lies elsewhere.

What happens when personal autonomy becomes the highest virtue? In Great Britain, a newly passed assisted suicide bill reveals the dangerous trajectory of a society that prioritizes "choice" over life itself. In the latest episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro unpack how this law reflects a broader shift—one that mirrors the same arguments used to justify abortion. When a society begins deciding who deserves to live and who should die, the most vulnerable always pay the price.
Language shapes perception—and the pro-choice movement knows it. A subtle yet dangerous shift has emerged, reframing pregnancy as an act of "co-creation" rather than "procreation." This language twist is more than semantics; it’s a direct challenge to the biblical truth that God alone is the Creator, and we are entrusted to bring forth what He has already made. In the latest episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro expose this ideological shift and its implications. Is this just another clever rebranding, or does it fundamentally change how society views life in the womb?
In the newest CareCast episode, Roland Warren, President and CEO of Care Net, and Vincent DiCaro, Chief Outreach Officer at Care Net, discuss why the pro-life movement must engage in this new battleground: defining who deserves rights.

In this episode, Warren and DiCaro expose how pro-choice advocates are reframing the debate and how pro-lifers can effectively respond.

His journey is a testament to God’s design for family, legacy, and love.
In the latest episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro tackle the unsettling trend of viewing children through a consumer lens, a mindset deeply tied to the broader cultural perspectives on life and abortion. Drawing parallels to themes like the commoditization of humanity and intrinsic value, they unpack how this consumer mindset disrupts God’s design for family and life.This thought-provoking conversation links modern reproductive technologies, societal expectations, and the pro-choice narrative to the fundamental question: Are we treating life as a covenant or a commodity? Join Roland and Vincent as they challenge us to rethink our perspective on human value and the sanctity of life.
The post-Roe era calls for a transformative approach to the life issue. In the latest CareCast episode, we dive deep into a vision for moving from pro-life advocacy to pro-abundant life action.Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro discuss how linking physical and spiritual life, supporting God’s design for family, and equipping churches with holistic strategies can redefine how we serve vulnerable families and communities.

“The only way that you get an Abraham Lincoln is if you’re willing to be Frederick Douglass.”, explains Roland Warren, President and CEO of Care Net. It seems there’s a tale of two convictions.

Wade.

If someone handed you a seed and you planted it. Then, after some time goes by, the seed grows into a beautiful plant. Would you say, “I created that plant?” No, you stewarded something that was given to you. But God created it. He created the seed and the plant. God is the source of life and we, his creation, are the resource. We aren't “co-creators” with God.This is vital language we can't miss when speaking about life and abortion. It's what Roland Warren, Care Net's President and CEO, and Vincent DiCaro, Care Net's Chief Outreach Officer, discuss in the newest episode of Carecast, Care Net's podcast on family, faith, and life.

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, the pro-choice movement has been more active than ever trying to restore abortion rights and access. The White House has been part of that effort, unfortunately. They recently announced funding for a national reproductive healthcare hotline. But when you read more about this hotline, it’s clear that the focus is on abortion referrals.So instead of it being something that's objective, where a woman can call and ask questions about what to do, this hotline has defined abortion as “healthcare.” Therefore, it's not difficult to see where the referrals will go. This is the newest episode of CareCast, Care Net’s podcast for family, faith, and life with Roland Warren, President and CEO, and Vincent DiCaro, Care Net’s Chief Outreach Officer. Let's listen in on what Roland and Vince have for us on this CareCast as they discuss The National Abortion Hotline vs. Care Net’s Pregnancy Decision Line.

It’s clear that the next frontier of the pro-choice movement's abortion fight is the church. In this new CareCast episode, Roland Warren, Care Net’s President and CEO, and Vincent DiCaro, Care Net’s Chief Outreach Officer, discuss the latest in what they call the double-mindedness of the pro-choice movement in our country right now.

With abortion, our goal must always be to give the most amount of compassion to the most vulnerable. At any given time and situation, this may sound simple. But it is not easy.

When asked by The New York Times, “When does human life begin?” Augustine Fuentes, Anthropologist at Princeton University, answered, “We think we are having a debate in the United States about when life begins, but we are not. We are having a debate about when society is going to decide when the person counts, and not only when the person counts, but which person counts more.”Throughout history, humanity has grappled with the question of when life begins. Dr. Fuentes articulates well the questions behind this question in our culture. We know when life begins. Let’s dig deeper into the unanswered questions behind the question of when life begins and how pro-life Christians can engage with these issues.

The abortion pill has become the most common way that women get abortions, and it is increasing. But as it increases, the problems with the pill become more and more apparent. Hear the story of a real caller to Care Net's hotline, and how Care Net's ministry model addresses many of the major issues that the increasing use of the abortion pill are creating.
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Senator Elizabeth Warren picked a target to take out her anger against the pro-life movement -- pregnancy centers. Why did she choose pregnancy centers? And why is she dead wrong in her wild attacks against these amazing ministries?
People, including Democrats running for office, are being encouraged to "share their abortion stories" in order to destigmatize and normalize abortion. But whose abortion stories are we supposed to listen to? When seeking justice, we are supposed to hear the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So are we only encouraged to listen to the stories of women who perceived their abortions to be positive experiences? Or are we supposed to hear the stories of unborn children whose lives were ended by those abortions? Or the stories of women whose abortions were negative experiences?
In this episode of CareCast, Roland and Vince discuss this sensitive topic from a Pro Abundant Life perspective.
Now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, the pro-choice movement has become more aggressive than ever in trying to get unfettered access to abortion, even infanticide, codified in certain states. Listen to Roland and Vince discuss how an "abortion culture" leads inevitably to such an approach, and what we can do about it.
The pro-choice movement has recently begun to distance itself from the term "pro-choice," which was the moniker it had chosen for itself decades ago. Instead, the terms "pro-decision" and even "pro-abortion" are emerging as the new preferred ways in which the pro-choice movement would like to be known. Why the shift? And does it matter?
A man has been traveling the world donating his sperm to dozens of women. He has "fathered" at least 55 children. Is this simply the product of a culture that has devalued fatherhood for the last half century? And what does it have to do with abortion?
A pro-choice pastor has used Psalm 139 to justify what she sees as the "holy experience" of having an abortion. To her, abortion is ok because it is not a physical act of ending a life that God has made, but instead ending a story that God is writing. Does this make it any better? Hear what Roland and Vince have to say in this episode of CareCast.
As the pro-choice movement sees the end of Roe v. Wade approaching, they are coming up with new arguments for why the pro-life position is wrong. This time, they are equating pro-life with white supremacy. Does their argument make any sense? Listen to Roland and Vince discuss this bizarre new pro-choice "logic."
On this episode of CareCast, Roland and Vince discuss how today’s culture seems to be commoditizing sex and human sexuality as a whole, and how that is affecting future generations.
Pregnancy centers once again came under fire after the release of a “study” claiming the centers themselves and the services they provide are deceptive and dangerous - accusations those in pregnancy center ministry have heard time and time again.
