Episode 14: Culture of Life (ft. Emily Callahan & Kia Vicks)

"We've all sinned, but I had never committed a sin where I felt like there was no coming back from." 
In this episode, special guest Kia shares her story of taking the abortion pill and the overwhelming grief that followed. Living in Florida and desperate for help, she searched the internet for answers and found hope through our abortion recovery ministry. Kia's story is raw, courageous, and a powerful reminder that redemption wins.
You'll also hear from Emily, our Medical Services Manager, as she shares insights from serving women facing abortion decisions every day, and the lies they are told when being sold the abortion pill.
This conversation offers a glimpse into why we're hosting our upcoming Culture of Life event and why these stories matter now more than ever.

Episode 13: The Senders (ft. Josh Quick & Landon Stroud)

If you're a Christian, then you are a missionary. Some are called to go. Others are called to send.
In this episode, Josh Quick of MidSouth Crawl Space Solutions and Landon Stroud of Complete Fitness share what it means to lead businesses that are committed to honoring God. These men may not work inside the walls of ministry, but their leadership, generosity, and bold support of life are helping fuel work that saves lives.

Episode 12: Where Are The Men? (ft. Al Arnold)

There's a lot of weight in this episode. After much prayer, we are able to welcome our new Men’s Ministry Advisor Al Arnold to the team, whose journey from faithful volunteer to staff leadership marks a powerful chapter for CPC Metro. This episode dives into the critical role of men in the pregnancy journey—from crisis moments to prevention to healing after abortion—and why their presence changes everything.
Erin Kate returns to her co-host seat with a special Life Walk recap, and Chrissy closes with a story that can only be described as a miracle.

Episode 11: Live from Life Walk

Recorded live at Trustmark Park, this special episode captures a morning full of joy as hundreds from across the pro-life community gathered to celebrate what God is doing through His people. Each guest brought a distinct perspective to the pro-life conversation: Joe Rooks, owner of Revell-Ace Hardware, Camryn Robertson, president-elect of Mississippi College Students for Life, and Allie Bennett, president of the Clinton Brick Street Players and Life Walk Team Captain for Holy Savior Catholic Church. Together, they represent the beauty of this movement, from business leaders to students to those active in the community. 

Episode 10: "Ain't You Got No Religion?" (ft. Beth Scarbrough)

In this episode, we sit down with Beth Scarbrough, president of Rankin County Republican Women. Beth’s story is one of faith, humor, and life-changing choices. At 40, she received unexpected news: she was pregnant. Her ultrasounds brought worry instead of joy, and her doctor suggested abortion. Beth was devastated—until an ultrasound tech asked a question that would stay with her forever: “Ain’t you got no religion?” With her warm, down-to-earth humor, Beth reflects on faith, the ministry of “needing to be needed,” and the moments that shape our lives. Listening feels like sharing a coffee with a wise, intentional friend who’s lived through hard questions and come out shining on the other side.

Episode 9: Culture Shift (ft. Isaiah Harrison)

College is not always the easiest place to stand firm in your faith or your pro-life convictions. 🎙️ In this episode, our Prevention Education Specialist Isaiah Harrison talks about what that looks like in real life.
Isaiah shares about Culture Shift, our youth ministry program that equips students to make healthy choices, understand their worth, and think differently about relationships and the future. He also reflects on the role models who shaped him and what it’s like navigating college as a Christian and pro-life advocate.
Content Note: In this episode, we have an honest conversation about sexual health and choices, including a mention of oral sex. Please use discretion if younger listeners are present.

Episode 8: Life Walk (ft. Sydney Charlton)

One Saturday every year, churches from all over the Jackson Metro area come together in unity for life and for the Gospel. From leading a team to shaping conversations at home, our friend Sydney Charlton shares her insight on how this event moves faith from words into action. If you’ve been wondering where you fit in, LifeWalk could be the perfect place to start.

Episode 7: Pro-Life from the Pulpit (ft. Greg Belser)

Dr. Greg Belser joins Chrissy and Erin Kate to explain why abortion cannot remain outside the pulpit simply because it’s controversial. The gospel speaks to life, sin, mercy, and redemption; and the Church cannot afford selective silence.
We also discuss a truth often overlooked: churches are not just willing to hear, but ready to help—walking with women facing pregnancy decisions, supporting single mothers, and offering real hope after abortion.

Episode 6: Abortion Recovery (ft. Chandra Jarrett)

Abortion didn’t get the final word. In this episode, author, speaker, and life coach Chandra Jarrett shares her story of abortion, redemption, and and why healing is not only possible, but real. We also talk about our upcoming Deeper Still retreat training and how you can be part of walking others to freedom.

Episode 5: It's a Gospel Issue (ft. Kurt Dillinger)

In Episode 5, we talk with Kurt Dillinger, founder of Life International, whose decades in global missions shape a clear and compelling perspective on abortion. This conversation explores why abortion is not just a cultural or political issue, but a gospel issue, and what that means for the Church’s witness at home and around the world.
