What happens when the church becomes more than a place—and truly becomes family? Making and Multiplying Disciples for Life: The Story of First Baptist Orlando’s First Embrace Pregnancy Center is now available to watch. This full documentary tells the powerful story of how a local church stepped into the lives of women and families facing unplanned pregnancies—not only to meet immediate needs, but to walk with them toward lasting hope, community, and discipleship. Through honest testimonies, viewers hear women describe fear, isolation, and uncertainty—and how those moments were met with compassion, presence, and belonging. One mother described it this way: “We found a family… a home away from home.” This is not a story about a perfect church or flawless leaders. It is a testimony of what God can do when ordinary believers say yes, trust Him to lead, and allow discipleship to grow through hospitality, faithfulness, and love. At First Baptist Orlando, a simple yet intentional pathway connects the pregnancy center to the life of the church. Those who once received help now serve others. Community leads to growth. Growth leads to discipleship. And discipleship multiplies. This documentary invites churches everywhere to consider an important question: What might God do if we welcomed people not just to receive help—but to belong? Watch now and discover how the church can become home.

Is talking about fatherhood, marriage, and discipleship a distraction from saving unborn lives? Care Net’s answer is no. It is the strategy. In this CareCast conversation, Roland Warren and Vince DiCaro argue that if you ask the real question — what would we want for a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy if we could change everything except the fact that she’s pregnant? — the answer is bigger than one decision. Yes, we want her to choose life. But we also want the father involved, the family strengthened, and everyone connected to Christ and the local church. Why? Because saving a life without addressing the deeper issues often leaves the cycle untouched. Some women need missing support. Others need a transformed worldview. That is why the Pro Abundant Life response includes both family and discipleship. Read the full article because it explains why these are not “other issues” at all. They are central to saving this baby and future babies too. hubs.ly/Q04bg0tc0

Nearly 5,000 donors. 10 years of internal documents. One Supreme Court case. First Choice v. Platkin could determine how pregnancy centers and nonprofits defend themselves against government subpoenas. The question: can they challenge these actions in federal court?

A U.S. Supreme Court case could impact pregnancy centers nationwide. In First Choice v. Platkin, a New Jersey pregnancy center is challenging a subpoena demanding donor identities and years of internal documents. The Court isn’t deciding the subpoena itself—but whether the case can be challenged in federal court. Why it matters: the decision could affect free speech, donor privacy, and how faith-based nonprofits operate across the country. Read the full article to understand what’s at stake—and why this case could have national implications. hubs.ly/Q04b0MQs0

Many abortion-vulnerable women aren’t far from faith—they’re in church. Care Net research shows more than half of women who have abortions identify as Christians, and 4 in 10 were attending church regularly at the time. The issue isn’t just what people believe. It’s whether they feel supported enough to live it out. That’s why the mission isn’t just influencing decisions—it’s making disciples. Real change happens when people are known, supported, and walking in community, not isolation. Read the full article to understand why discipleship—not just arguments—is the Church’s most powerful response. hubs.ly/Q049zG_X0

“Are you sure this is what you want?” That question changed everything for Genna. Sitting in an abortion clinic, overwhelmed and under pressure from her partner, she didn’t feel confident in her decision.

She was connected to a pregnancy center and began preparing for what was next.
