Even in the aftermath of the reversal of Roe v. Wade, making the case for life is just as important as before. How do we make the case for life in the current cultural moment we’re in? We’ll take up this critical question with our guest, Scott Klusendorf, around his new book, The Case for Life, the best single resource out there for engaging the abortion discussion. We hope you enjoy this timely episode, since Sanctity of Life Sunday was just this week.
