From Boys to Fathers: Why the Boy Crisis is a Life Issue Oct 30, 2025

Show notes

A new University of Virginia study led by Brad Wilcox confirms what decades of data—and God’s design—already show: children flourish when fathers are engaged and married to moms. But as CareCast hosts Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro explain, the implications go far beyond family health. Care Net and Lifeway Research revealed that the most influential voice in a woman’s pregnancy decision is the man involved. That means today’s “boy crisis” isn’t just cultural—it’s a life issue. When boys grow up without strong male role models, they often become men who feel unprepared or unwilling to lead, love, and stay. In this episode, Roland and Vince connect the dots between fatherhood, marriage, and the pro-life movement—showing why mentoring boys is good, but married fatherhood is essential. Listen now and discover how the pro-life movement can move beyond saving babies to raising godly men who shape families and communities for generations.

CareCast: You Can Be Cool or Holy—Not Both. What the “Coolness” Study Reveals about Abortion. Oct 23, 2025

Show notes

What does “cool” have to do with abortion? More than you think. In this episode, Roland Warren and Vince DiCaro unpack a recent study that defined six traits our culture calls cool—extroverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open, and autonomous—and ask a daring question: is the public case for abortion just another expression of those same values? From ad campaigns to celebrity activism, Roland and Vince trace how “cool” thinking drives today’s abortion narratives—and then contrast it with the holiness of Christ: sacrifice over self-preservation, humility over control, and compassion over convenience. This isn’t just about style; it’s about worldview. Discover how “cool” leads to self-focus, while holiness leads to abundant life. 🎧 Listen now to CareCast: You Can Be Cool or Holy—Not Both—and explore what happens when the gospel redefines what’s truly worth following.

CareCast: Al Mohler and Roland Warren Share Why Family Is Central to Life Sep 25, 2025

Show notes

Recorded live at Care Net’s 2025 National Conference in Charlotte, NC, this special CareCast features Dr. Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, in conversation with Roland Warren. Just minutes after delivering his keynote, Dr. Mohler joins Roland to unpack why the family is central to the life issue. Together, they trace abortion and related cultural shifts—no-fault divorce, the sexual revolution, and the autonomy push—back to a deeper rebellion against God’s creation order. Their dialogue shows how unraveling one thread weakens the whole fabric, and why starting at the smallest platoon—the family—is key to rebuilding. The episode points beyond “saving the baby” to a fuller vision: discipling mothers, fathers, and children for generations, grounded in the gospel. Listen in for a candid, biblical conversation on how church and family must work together to restore what our culture has torn apart.

CareCast: Beyond “My Truth”—Abortion and the Pro Abundant Life Case Aug 26, 2025

Show notes

Episode Summary For the first time, CareCast is also available in video. In this episode, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro take on our culture’s “my truth” moment and make the Pro Abundant Life case for something sturdier: objective truth. What happens to conversations about abortion when truth gets personalized—and how can the church respond with grace and clarity? What you’ll hear When truth gets personal, debate turns hostile: If truth is purely individual, disagreement feels like a personal attack. That mindset fuels division and shuts down honest dialogue. Loving our neighbors begins with agreeing there’s a truth outside of us. Why it matters Real love and justice require more than personal preference. This conversation equips pastors, leaders, and church members to speak clearly, listen compassionately, and disciple families well. Hosts Roland Warren, Vincent DiCaro Also available Watch the video edition of this episode on our channels.

CareCast: From the Polls to the Cross—Why the Church Must Lead the Abundant Life Movement Jul 23, 2025

Show notes

In the second half of this powerful CareCast conversation, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro dive deeper into the Parable of the Good Samaritan and its implications for the pro-life movement today. The message is clear: advocacy alone is not enough. Without the compassion and commitment that come from understanding who our neighbor truly is, even the most well-intentioned laws fall short. It's time for the church to reclaim its voice and mission—not simply to be pro-life, but to live out the abundant life that Christ calls us to.

Their conversation challenges today’s cultural definitions of compassion and invites believers to step into a broader, deeper vision of love, justice, and care for the vulnerable.
