Pro Abundant Life – Roland Warren
With the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June of 2022 many pro-life Americans, many Christians, hoped that would bring the change we long for in valuing life.
It’s been more than 2 years since that momentous Supreme Court decision, and Americans, when given the option, have chosen more abortions and more pro-choice laws, not fewer.
Roland Warren, President & CEO of Care Net – one of the nations largest and oldest pro-life ministries, and author of The Alternative to Abortion, says the issue is not a legal one but rather a matter of the heart.
He and his then-girlfriend, a young Christian couple, were faced with an unexpected pregnancy and encouraged to have an abortion. They chose to get married and raise a family.
With a heart of understanding from his own personal story and a “download from God” Roland challenges us to see abortion as a matter of discipleship – a challenge to not just live – but to live the abundant life – to disciple hearts to live and love like Jesus.
Also in this episode, there was a time Shawna felt so anxious she locked herself in her bedroom, afraid to even walk down the hall to the kitchen to get a glass of water. But recently, she was home alone for 12 days and never once felt anxious. It didn’t happen all at once, but overtime Jesus has untangled the knots of her anxious heart.

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
