How to Teach the Toughest Topic
![El Paso 2023](https://speakerforlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/El-Paso-2023.jpeg)
The Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade has only intensified the battle over abortion in our nation. Your church members are not immune to the persuasive rhetoric of the abortion industry. Research shows that over 40% of all women who’ve had an abortion were in church at the time, nearly no one knows about the abortion, and nearly half say that when the pastor preaches about forgiveness from the pulpit, it doesn’t apply to them. They are not alone – many men who have participated in abortion are equally affected.
How can pastors and teachers break through the cultural fog in order to protect our people and influence our culture. “How to Teach the Toughest Topic” – a short, 90-minute seminar – will inspire and equip you to preach effectively on abortion.
You will learn:
• Why people reject truth claims
• Five unconscious tactics people employ so they won’t have to change
• Four key responses to overcome these barriers to transformation
• A four-part teaching strategy designed to shepherd people to life-affirming decisions
This seminar is for senior pastors, youth and college/career pastors, small group and life group coordinators and leaders, and Sunday school teachers.
