Episode 28: What's the Big Deal With Abortion? Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

Mike Spencer grew up in the Detroit area and considered himself “pro-choice” until shortly after coming to faith in Christ in 1984, when the church he attended showed the pro-life film, The Silent Scream. Upon being confronted with the reality of abortion, Mike became deeply convicted and prayed for God’s forgiveness, offering himself as a voice for the unborn.

Mike served as a pastor for 23 years and now serves as the founder and president of Project LifeVoice, a gospel-driven human rights organization that equips and inspires pro-life ambassadors to speak compellingly and to act sacrificially on behalf of the most vulnerable, most abandoned and most oppressed among us; our preborn neighbors targeted by elective abortion.

Mike has a burden to awaken the Church to the plight of mothers facing unplanned pregnancies and to the little ones they carry. He travels extensively throughout the United States and beyond, speaking in churches, at banquets & conferences, and on high school & university campuses. He addresses thousands of students and adults each year. Mike is a gifted and much sought-after communicator who brings a pastor’s heart to the often emotional and divisive issue of abortion in a way that is both gracious and compelling. He and his wife, Barb, have five children including a daughter they adopted from Guatemala. Mike and his family currently reside in Celina, Ohio.

Key Idea: When we are silent about abortion, we communicate one of two messages: either abortion is not so bad or the gospel is not so good.
