From Leftist to Pro-Life Conservative | Jaden Heard | Episode 27

From Leftist to Pro-Life Conservative | Jaden Heard | Episode 27

It’s Tuesday, which means a brand new episode of the Let Them Live podcast is officially dropping into your feeds! This week, I had the privilege of sitting down with Jaden Heard, a Turning Point USA speaker, influencer, and passionate street preacher with one of the most powerful testimonies I've heard in a long time. Just a few years ago, Jaden’s life looked completely different than it does today. He was deeply embedded in left-wing social justice issues, actively justifying the 2020 riots on social media, and completely indifferent to the issue of abortion. But a late-night internet rabbit hole planted a seed of doubt that changed the entire trajectory of his life. In today's episode, we aren't just talking about a political shift; we're talking about a radical transformation of the mind and heart. Jaden opens up about his journey into the conservative movement and how became a Christian. Jaden also does an amazing job of breaking down why conservatives miss the mark when speaking to those on the left, and he completely dismantles the mainstream media's negative narrative surrounding the conservative movement based on his own welcoming experiences. Finally, he issues a powerful challenge to Pro-lifers and Christians to not just talk the talk, but to walk the walk.

An Atheist's Case for Life | Monica Snyder | Episode 26

Welcome back to the Let Them Live podcast! Today we are looking at the pro-life movement from a very different perspective than we normally do on this show. Joining me on the podcast is Monica Snyder, the executive director of Secular Pro-Life. While a majority of people assume the fight against abortion is driven entirely by religious convictions, Monica’s journey is completely different. She shares how her personal reason for fighting for life as an athiest is simple and non-religious, but shaped by how she saw her parents take action to normalize being pro-life. We also talk about the early days of Secular Pro-Life on social media and how it has grown into a place for "nontraditional pro-lifers"—including atheists, agnostics, left-leaning advocates, and anyone else who felt like they didn't fit into the traditional movement mold. My favorite part of this conversation, the part you can't miss, is where Monica breaks down the bias and hidden information from the infamous Turnaway Study. It turns out the researchers didn't expect some of the outcomes to go a certain way, and the media wasn't interested in reporting on these overlooked details either! Monica brings them to light and explains what it all proves. Finally, we discuss an incredible resource on their website called the Abortion Debate Index. If you are a Christian or a traditional conservative pro-life advocate, you need this tool! It acts as a perfect translation guide, equipping us to speak a secular language to those who don't hold pro-life views for religious reasons.

Why Hard Numbers Defeat Abortion | Dr Michael New | Episode 25

I am so excited for you to hear my conversation today with someone who has one of the most unique and valuable roles in the entire pro-life movement. Today I’m sitting down with Dr. Michael New, an assistant professor at the Catholic University of America and a senior associate scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute. What makes Michael so incredible is that he beautifully bridges two entirely different worlds. On one hand, he’s a brilliant social scientist with a PhD from Stanford who uses statistics to track abortion trends and the real-world impact of pro-life legislation. On the other hand, he’s completely boots-on-the-ground, hitting the sidewalks outside a D.C. Planned Parenthood every single Saturday to stand for life in person. In this episode, we dive deep into why hard numbers serve as a vital "true north" in a movement that can often feel overwhelmingly emotional. Michael completely dismantles some of the biggest myths the abortion industry constantly pushes. If you’ve ever heard someone claim that pro-life laws don’t actually save lives, or that chemical abortion pills are completely safe, you need to hear what the actual data shows from a real expert. Michael’s insights will leave you feeling encouraged, informed, and equipped to defend life with confidence. Follow him on X or instagram under Michael_J_New.

I Took Over an Abortion Center | The ProLife Doc | Episode 24

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Let Them Live podcast! I am so excited to kick off Season 3, and I couldn't think of a better way to start than with a guest I have looked up to for years. Today I'm sitting down with Dr. William Lile, widely known as the ProLife Doc. Dr. Lile is an OB-GYN who delivered babies for 30 years and has an incredible testimony. Back in 1999, he made a move that shocked his community by taking over the largest abortion clinic in the Florida Panhandle and stopping all abortions on day one. In this episode, we dive into how true medical science consistently defends life in the womb. Dr. Lile shares mind-blowing details about how doctors are now treating the preborn as individual patients—performing open-heart surgeries and curing conditions before a baby is even born! We also discuss a vital new curriculum he is launching to build a pro-life, biblical worldview in the next generation before they get indoctrinated by the world. You will leave this conversation feeling incredibly encouraged and equipped. Tune in to the full season premiere to hear the whole story!

Jokes, Jesus, and Choosing Life | Kerri Pomarolli | Episode 23

Hey everyone, it’s Emily! I’m coming to you from my father-in-law’s library today for a conversation that I have been dying to share since the moment I met this week’s guest. I first connected with Kerri Pomarolli backstage at a faith-filled event in Michigan, where she was performing comedy alongside the talented Full House star, Candace Cameron Bure! Kerri is absolutely hilarious, but behind the jokes is an incredible pro-life testimony. Kerri shares the story of her daughter, Ruby, and a pregnancy that seemed perfectly normal until her doctors noticed something was not quite right. Suddenly, Kerri found herself facing a world of "no cures" and a diagnosis that would leave most people feeling completely hopeless. We dive into those weeks of hospital stays and the heavy weight of being told her daughter might never walk or live a "normal" life. You have to hear Kerri describe the moment she stood at a crossroads between the world's predictions and her faith in Jehovah Rapha—the God who heals. Tune in to hear how Kerri and Ruby are now using their story to encourage families all over the world to choose life! After you watch take a moment to hear her testimony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKtY6lUj-Sw [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKtY6lUj-Sw] Support Let Them Live here: https://donate.letthemlive.org/ [https://donate.letthemlive.org/-/XDRESPZH]
