In this powerful and timely episode of Priorities on Purpose, Melissa sits down with Bri Stensrud, author of Start with Welcome and Director of Women of Welcome, for a conversation that every Christian needs to hear—especially those who call themselves pro-life.
Bri shares her journey from traditional pro-life advocacy into a deeper, more biblical understanding of whole-life advocacy, challenging listeners to care for the unborn and the immigrant, the orphan and the refugee, the poor, the widow, the imprisoned, and the unseen.
This conversation isn’t about politics—it’s about conviction, compassion, and obedience to what Scripture actually says. If you're ready to let go of fear, stop othering people, and start loving your neighbor like Jesus does, this episode will stretch and encourage you in the best way.
