Why Kids Are Pro-Life

Published August 17, 2015 • Written by Britt Echtenkamp Filed Under: Faith, Family, Young Adult

Yesterday afternoon, while walking through HEB with my family, a hurried mom with her two little girls rushed by us in the coffee aisle. The mom didn’t look at us or say anything as she moved past us, but one of her little girls (probably 4 or 5), stopped and said, “I like your baby!”… [Read More]

Getting Yelled At For Being Pro-Life: How to Deal

Published November 10, 2014 • Written by Britt Echtenkamp Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Social Justice, Young Adult

You’d think working in the world of therapists – full of feelings, acceptance, warm regard and the fluffiest Kleenex money can buy – that we would be loving and accepting of all people, no matter their beliefs or religious affiliations.

SB5: A Moment in Texas Legislative History

Published June 27, 2013 • Written by Rita Suva Filed Under: Blog

Published October 9, 2012 • Written by Kathryn Whitaker Filed Under: Blog

Two weeks ago I shared with you my reasons for joining the 40 Days for Life campaign here in Austin. I’d like to reiterate what a difficult, yet prayerful, decision it was to participate. Here I am, two weeks and two hours of praying on the sidewalk later, to reflect on my time at the… [Read More]

An Unacceptable Compromise (Review: “Unwind”)

Published October 2, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Reviews

“Ripped from the headlines” used to be an incredibly popular slogan for movies and TV episodes.
