What's up guys? Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Very important announcement quick announcement for everybody today. Thank you all for joining us we have been very very excited to have this accomplished and Very excited to be able to announce it to everybody and the day is finally here.
00:14
So this is Luke the bear What I'm Jeff the Komen Ninja that is Zach right there Hey, Zach is the director of communications for end abortion now, and we have very big news for everybody.
00:24
So stay with us This is big big stuff. We've been working on this now for months and it is finally here
00:30
We wanted to be able to have a place a landing spot for people across The United States of America and really everywhere
00:38
Yeah to be able to communicate with each other together over the issue of Engaging the issue of abortion with the gospel and once and for all ending it and so we wanted to create a platform to do
00:49
That it's finally all done. And so is that could you tell everybody what that looks like? This is a way for everybody who's watching right now to get connected to the ministry here and to be able to communicate with each other and to work together and It's just it's a quick way if something happens we can immediately talk to each other and get at it together, right?
01:07
So help us with that. What's it look like? I think that's the most important thing when we're talking about how do we mobilize the church together?
01:13
So all the churches that are underneath the banner of end abortion now up until now We haven't really had an environment where all of these different people that are involved can come in Link up with one another connect with each other encourage each other support each other and we can get mobilized together
01:27
To be going towards the same objective or the same goal together with each other right up until now
01:33
That just hasn't we just haven't had the ability to do that in this way this quickly, right? So with the coalition when you join you go to the website you join you're brought into a platform with Local church members and even people that that aren't a part of a local church, but are still brought into this environment
01:52
Let's say it's someone who? Has experience working on legislation for abortion and they're working on a bill in a certain state and they need other people on board
02:01
Or you want to ask questions about okay. What is that? What would that look like in my state? How do we do that? How do we get behind something like that?
02:07
Can you give us tips about how to duplicate that process here those kinds of questions those kinds of scenarios?
02:13
It all this environment what it's designed to do is give us a place where we can come together and really mobilize effectively and fight
02:21
Really, and I guess maybe throw a heavier punch together because now we can talk to each other, right?
02:26
And now we have a way to get on board with each other quickly and move in the same direction That's right so endabortionnow .com is where you guys can all go to get your church linked up with us and under the
02:37
The banner of an abortion now where you can get free training you can get free resources You can get equipped from us on how to actually engage
02:44
This issue to go out to the abortion models to save children and to go to your local Legislature to demand immediate justice for the pre -born right now
02:51
We have about 400 local churches across the United States of America and around Who are actually engaging this issue consistently biblically and saving lives
03:00
Thousands of children have been saved through this ministry. You can be a part of it too with your local church But now this is the next stage
03:08
One of the things that we're dropping actually by the way in the next week or so probably a couple of days We're dropping a special video that I created
03:15
For everybody who's a part of end abortion now to train you and how to start your own media ministry
03:20
We knew that this meet this ministry has to be much bigger than Apologia Church We're grateful to God that he's given us such an amazing
03:26
Platform and ability to reach and to equip and to train so many churches We're grateful to God for that, but we knew that it had to actually include other churches as well
03:35
You guys need to start your own media ministries to spread the word like Apologia Church And so I created for everybody who is already a part of endabortionnow .com
03:43
Special video training more is coming after that and how you can start your own media ministry I teach you how to do it and that's free training for everybody who's part of Apologia's ministry end abortion now
03:55
So everything's given away to all these churches and for those of you guys that gave towards the ministry of end abortion now
04:01
The last couple of years want to say grateful to God for you And this is the fruit of your labor, so please know that it's the fruit of your labor
04:08
What's happening right now? You are a part of and we mean that so we've promised these things to everybody and now they're all
04:14
Coming out piece by piece and God's doing big things But it's free training free resources for all the churches
04:20
Free media training now how to start your own media ministry and now we have the coalition ability
04:26
Where everybody can talk and give an example, okay? Just a quick example what that looks like for everybody so you can kind of know what we're aiming at here
04:32
So let's say at the beginning of the year we had something to happen in New York with governor Cuomo where he actually put something in and works together to get something
04:41
Working in New York where you can kill babies up to birth right now what John speed did pastor
04:46
John speed He owns a bookstore in in New York And he just put a simple piece of paper on his door and he said he was closing down for the day in protest and not pay taxes to the state of New York because they're killing babies and So what happened was that went crazy went all over the country like wildfire
05:01
He was all over all the news all the major media platforms Fox I think had him on and just a bunch of other things so it's a very big deal
05:09
But it was also a lot of churches going okay guys Where do we go from here? So we were doing is we were actually saying okay guys follow us.
05:18
It'll look like this We're in communication with John. We were trying to let people know as much as we could we were going to the legislature
05:23
We were putting videos up. Here's what we say Here's how you preach the gospel to them And we were trying to encourage people like really through our platforms like guys.
05:31
Here's what's happening Here's what we're doing and churches followed us into that and sort of going to the legislature and they started preaching the gospel to legislatures
05:39
Literally across the United States of America, and it's been amazing. I mean like now people are talking about abortion is murder
05:45
They're talking about criminalizing abortion banning abortion across the country now you have the pro -aborts across the country up in arms
05:52
Actually now talking about the fact that now we're looking at bans of abortion Yeah, we weren't having that conversation
06:00
Seven years ago eight years ago like we are now so it's the fruit of your labor brothers and sisters.
06:06
It's all happening It's all coming together and the coalition app now is the ability to talk to each other
06:13
So if something happens like with John speed and like the next big push We're able to get on there together and I'll talk to each other
06:19
So if you want to be a part of this You want to talk to Apologia Church? You want to talk to our people you want to talk to everybody who's doing this ministry get on the
06:27
Appy app? Yeah, get on it man. Get on it cuz how do they do it? It's amazing So what you need to do?
06:34
What's basically happened already is if you're a church partner with an abortion now You should have got an email to invite you into it
06:41
And we need everybody all hands on deck to agree to that and get inside and start interacting with each other
06:47
I think one of the questions I get the most is is there a church in my area? Who's working on this already?
06:53
Can you get me connect? Yeah, we've got a time the dashboard eliminates that because now you get in there and you're like, okay
06:58
There's someone in Dallas Fort Worth that's working on this already or they're going to the mill I'm gonna go with them because they're in my area. Yeah, so that those kinds of things are great.
07:06
Can you sorry? Can you look up? Areas on that you can look up. Yeah by a member and actually search
07:14
Location and things to find people in your area. So Dashboard dot end abortion now dot -com is where you go to request to be added
07:23
You got to write a little description of why you want to be joined to the coalition will approve you
07:29
You'll be able to get in there start interacting So everyone has access to the mainframe of the coalition and can communicate with one another
07:37
Church or not, but there's a special place meeting whether you're a part of a church
07:43
It's officially linked up with us or not. Correct? Yeah. Yeah, if you're a Christian, you're not in a church
07:49
Right get in a church. Yeah. Okay, good for sure And then there's a private place where that's for church partners you get added to that, you know
07:58
You click on it will get you in there and then you have access to the training resources all of those things
08:04
You see that in the coalition? Okay So the front page the main page is for everybody and then we have the exclusive page for the church partners
08:11
That you get into and we can have conversations in there about you know Things specifically related to the gospel and and church activity and coordinating one another's not your churches
08:20
But when you get in make a profile say a little bit about yourself. Say hello to everyone You know, it's it's really like Facebook you can reply to each other
08:28
You can comment and it really is just speedy the one of the things that's really cool about the app is you can get notified
08:34
With push notifications. So, you know if something is posted in there you get the notification on your phone you go
08:40
Oh what's going on in in Alabama right now? Oh great. Well, we need to jump on this. Let me write this person back
08:45
So that's the thing about this. What makes us any is it's instant It really removes a lot of the the wait time it was social media
08:52
You know a post goes up and then it takes maybe hours or a few days to mobilize people here
08:57
I feel like we can do it much quicker. Yeah, because we have the ability to communicate in a way that's really fast Yeah, that's awesome.
09:03
That is amazing. So what's up, baby lover? Yeah, right tell me or tell our audience
09:10
What's up with that shirt? Yeah, so baby lover new t -shirts and different colors red white and black the story
09:18
The story behind the shirt is actually just something that caught on an apology at church because we were at the mill one day here in Tempe ministering and there was a couple that walked behind me as I was preaching and calling out and they referred to me in a derogatory sense right it was
09:35
You know, not a not a compliment. Yeah, they yelled and shouted back at me you baby lover Yeah, and I was just remember at the time being so shocked by that like this is kind of what we've come to in our
09:45
Nation, it's a pejorative a pejorative people are mocking you or insulting you for loving children
09:51
Because you were trying to save babies from death and they were like you baby lover, right? So I just remember at that time.
09:57
I'll never forget that moment. I just looked back at him and I said, well What does that make you sir? You know and there was no response for that because what's the opposite of a baby lover?
10:06
I mean someone on they hate children is what it comes down to it's an issue of the heart But anyways that caught on at church and we just started affectionately calling each other baby lover
10:15
You know as kind of a playful thing, you know, what's that baby lovers? Yeah, and then because we do I'd called you church
10:21
We love children, you know, we love we love babies. You come to our church You see everyone's got kids running around everywhere you trip over kids.
10:26
Yeah, no matter where you go. I think my wife Was estimating we have like 20 some -odd babies being born on the way
10:33
So in the oven by the by the time 2009 2020 rolls around we're gonna have like 20 babies newborns
10:41
Yeah People say and you know and the way the churches work if your church isn't crying it's dying.
10:49
That's right. Yeah So so we take that seriously, you know the the Lord you've heard that yeah
10:58
So children are a blessing through the womb is a heritage the Lord requires a godly seed baby lover

11:43
Now Christians going across the country now speaking to the local legislature that all started because of your work together with us within abortion now
11:50
It's amazing. It's humbling. It's powerful God's doing amazing things Conversation across the country now is talking about abortion in terms of murder and in terms of bans and criminalization
12:00
That is a work of the Christian Church across the United States of America. That's what God is doing with a faithful proclamation of the gospel
12:07
We have new media training coming up for everybody who's a part of end abortion now calm You get free training free resources.

13:01
We need to work together on Communication happens on that app and the coalition gets started.
13:07
You all work together. That's what it's for So praise God for everybody who's a part of end abortion now right now This is a big deal

14:21
So share that stuff man I mean put it in there and and we'll get it and put it up for the world to see because that's a the
14:27
Amazing thing about this too is God's using this kind of activity from churches in the platform to bring other local churches into this
14:34
Yeah, that's I think a key thing is that when? This all started churches started getting involved and actually doing what we were doing because they were hearing us tell our story
14:43
So we were on apology a radio We would just say hey God saved a baby this Saturday and then next thing you know church was like well, how do we do it?
14:50
and so that's how it all began it really started because one church was a testimony to other churches and then they started going and Then same thing happens
14:57
Happened for the legislature. We went next thing You know other people went and then more people went and then more people went and then it was like little little kids going up And speaking to their magistrates.
15:06
What kind of courage is that amazing riots? Yeah Gospel and like, you know riot breaking out.
