Les mer Back to Rurality

Why did God pick you to glorify Him in the middle of nowhere -- and how are you supposed to do it? Join rural pastor, TJ Freeman, each week as he explores why your life in a town no one ever heard of matters. He'll tackle tough questions like how to get through suffering, what to do if you don't like reading the Bible, and how to fight a life-dominating sin. Back to Rurality is meant to help you take the next step toward becoming a healthy Christian -- in the middle of nowhere!

episode Are People in Rural Communities Having Abortions? [RPT Crossover] cover

Are People in Rural Communities Having Abortions? [RPT Crossover]

In this episode of Rural Pastors Talk, TJ Freeman interviews Bryce Asberg, director of a pregnancy resource center in Hillsdale, Michigan, about why the pro-life issue matters deeply for rural churches.  Bryce shares his background, his “boring” Christian testimony, and how his long-standing pro-life convictions led him into pregnancy center work. Together they discuss how abortion is now present in every community through telemedicine and mailed abortion pills, making discipleship and clear, compassionate biblical teaching more urgent than ever.  Bryce argues abortion is ultimately about God’s glory and authority as Creator, and he encourages pastors to strengthen local discipleship while partnering with pregnancy centers through prayer, people, and financial support. They also explore how centers can serve as “emergency room” ministries and wisely connect clients to the local church. Contact Bryce to learn more at bryce@helpinghandsprc.org.
