Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a powerful episode of The Christian Citizen Podcast, where we tackle the critical role of the church in civic engagement, with a spotlight on the hot-button issue of abortion. Our hosts dive into the importance of voting biblically and consistently, calling on pastors and church leaders to rise up, run for office, and make a real impact in their communities.

We break down the recent political landscape following the Republican and Democrat National Conventions, focusing on the intense debates over abortion policies. One of the standout topics is the groundbreaking concept of “Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn,” where cities like Amarillo are taking the initiative to restrict abortion at the local level, bypassing the sluggish state and federal legislation.

Join us as we highlight the relentless efforts of Mark Lee Dixon, a driving force behind these ordinances in Texas. You’ll hear from local pastor Jeremy File, who is rallying his congregation to stand against abortion and champion the cause of life.

This episode showcases the unity among Amarillo’s pastors, coming together to confront this vital issue, despite their doctrinal differences. We draw on biblical principles, such as Proverbs 6, which condemns the shedding of innocent blood, and stress the church’s duty to protect the vulnerable.

We also address the challenges posed by pro-abortion activists and the urgent need for Christians to engage in local governance to influence decisions that shape their communities.

Tune in for a compelling call to action for Christians to be proactive in their civic duties and stand unwavering in their beliefs about the sanctity of life. This is an episode you don’t want to miss.
