Lie: The Dobbs decision prevents pregnant women from getting the medical treatment they need in emergency cases.
Truth: All states with pro-life laws allow for medical interventions to save the mother’s life.
Dr. Ingrid Skop will join us to teach us the truth about pro-life laws and how they actually protect women. Then, Dr. George Barna will describe faith and cultural trends that are likely to emerge in 2025. Get ready. It’s time to think biblically and critically.
Anxiety can keep us up at night. Anger can cause us to fly off the handle. Sadness can drain us of energy. Shame can isolate us. Emotions like these are powerful. They can tax our relationships and distress our souls. No amount of sheer willpower or good intentions are sufficient to overcome them. But God has a good purpose for these core emotions he created. By integrating biblical truth, evidence-based insights from psychology, and spiritual practices, we can move from being mastered by these emotions to living in emotional maturity. Psychologist Kevin Chapman will draw on his therapeutic expertise and invite us into a deeper understanding of our thinking patterns, emotional triggers, and avoidance behaviors—all viewed through the lens of scriptural truth and God's power to change lives.
