After losing her younger brother in a tragic accident at just 23 years old, Nicolee Thompson and her family turned incredible grief into a mission of radical compassion. Today, she's the CEO of Harvest Compassion Center, a faith-based nonprofit serving thousands of families across the Phoenix Valley; not through handouts, but through dignity.

In this episode, I sit down with Nicolee to unpack how Harvest Compassion Center rejected the "soup kitchen" model in favor of client-choice shopping: guests walk through a grocery-store-style minimart and boutique, picking their own food and clothing; no questions asked, no ID required, no government funding accepted. Nicolee shares the story behind Mitchell Swabick Charities: how her family built a $2M, four-location operation out of a single 1,500-square-foot donated room; the role faith and prayer play in every interaction; and why she believes "true failure is doing nothing at all."

In part two, Dr. Bill Lile digs into the data behind the abortion pill's risks—citing a 2025 study of over 865,000 women that found a complication rate 22 times higher than the FDA's original estimate. He also covers advances in fetal medicine, from in utero cardiac procedures to record-setting delayed-interval deliveries, and closes with his perspective on where the pro-life movement goes from here.

Dr. Bill Lile is a board-certified OB-GYN who has delivered over 5,000 babies in his 30-year career. In this episode, he draws on decades of clinical experience to walk through in-utero surgeries, fetal cardiac procedures, and the pharmacology behind the abortion pill, citing recent complication-rate data along the way. Whether or not you agree with his conclusions, this is a conversation grounded in clinical detail from someone who's spent his career at the center of the debate.
