Dr. Chase Spears sits down with Brian Westbrook, founder and president of Coalition Life in St. Louis, Missouri. Brian shares the remarkable journey of building a ministry dedicated to professional sidewalk counseling and high-risk pregnancy support, starting from a small group in 2011 and expanding across Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, and beyond.Hear how Coalition Life has helped facilitate over 4,800 turnarounds outside abortion facilities and serves around 1,000 clients annually through their pregnancy center, with many high-risk women choosing life. Brian opens up about his own life-changing turning point — a near-tragic health crisis with his infant son that led him to rededicate his life and eventually leave a successful engineering career to answer a calling to protect the unborn.The conversation covers the realities of sidewalk ministry, facing hostility and legal challenges, the impact of the Dobbs decision, the dangers of chemical abortion pills, the importance of men stepping up, and the ongoing need for prayer, support, and involvement in local pro-life efforts. It's an inspiring call to live and lead boldly in defense of life.
