HOPE is blessed, through the support of our partners, to serve men and women in our city holistically...mind, body, and spirit. One of the ways we are able to meet the needs of our patients outside of the exam room is through parenting education. Through our education program we are able to equip, mentor, and [...]
The Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act made its way to the Senate this week with very little hope of passage. Our prognostications were correct as we watched a filibuster and a debate that ultimately stymied the bill from ever making it to the floor for a vote. This bill would amend the federal code [...]
Forty-five years ago this week, the greatest country this planet has ever seen ushered in a new era for future generations. An era that would bring about destruction to women, men, the unborn, and families. I realize that my description is aggressive, but Roe v. Wade was an aggressive court case that we continue to [...]
I am continuing my Advent study this week with Paul David Tripp’s latest book, “Come Let Us Adore Him.” I realize that I cited some of his work in last week’s post, but I couldn’t help but go back to him again this week as we look to the hope set before us. This season [...]

We made gift bags, provided cookies and cake, and offered tours of the building for those that hadn’t visited in a while.

Mother Jones recently featured an article discussing abortion in the modern era. We are living in a very progressive time. That’s right, our phones are now super computers, cars are driving themselves, and abortion doctors are seeing patients via teleconferencing. The author of the Mother Jones piece attempts to make the case for “remote abortions.” [...]
This past week I was in Washington D.C. with tens of thousands of people to march for life. We braved the winter storm to show the world that life has value. In the middle of the bulls-eye of the storm, we marched in the Nation’s Capital…the bulls-eye of the political storm. The irony of this [...]
I have been struggling this week on a blog topic. This is a bit strange as I am normally never at a loss for words…just ask my wife. This struggle ended today as I had the opportunity to sit down with two pastors from two different churches. These pastors have a lot on their plate. They are [...]
We are currently right in the middle of our “Life Matters” prayer initiative. We have been blown away by the support and participation of so many around our state and country. The Lord is doing some amazing work through some amazing people as many are deciding to come out of the shadows and stand for life. There are [...]
