Abortion has become the prevailing human rights crisis of our time, and many Christians remain silent. In this episode, we speak with Brian Saksa about why Christians must confront abortion with conviction, courage, and pro-life action.

Brian explains why abortion is not just a political issue, but a moral and spiritual crisis—and how passive faith within the Church has allowed abortion to continue. He shares how God moved him from silent belief to bold obedience, even at personal cost.

This episode is a clear call to Christians who say they are pro-life but struggle with fear, silence, or inaction. If you’re ready to understand what faithful obedience looks like in a culture of death, this conversation will challenge and equip you.

Guest's bio:

Brian Saksa is the Minnesota Director for White Rose Resistance, a pro-life organization committed to rescuing children from abortion and awakening the Church to courageous, faith-filled action. He is also the Founder and CEO of ReachMore, a mission-driven company that helps Christian business owners grow their impact while fueling gospel-centered pro-life outreach.

After nearly a decade in the for-profit world—rising from entry-level recruiter to divisional leadership—Brian transitioned into nonprofit development. During that time, he helped expand Alliance Family Services, a pregnancy resource center in Wisconsin, from two locations to six in just 18 months.

Today, Brian combines entrepreneurship, advocacy, and frontline ministry as he leads efforts to defend the unborn, support mothers in crisis, and challenge Christians to move from passive faith to bold obedience. He and his wife, Abby, live in Minnesota with their children and continue to pursue a calling to reach more people, save more lives, and glorify Jesus.
