The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele
Christian leaders join Dominic Steele for a deep end conversation about our hearts and different aspects of Christian ministry each Tuesday afternoon.
We share personally, pastorally and professionally about how we can best fulfill Jesus' mission to save the lost and serve the saints.
The discussion is broadcast live on Facebook then available in video on our website <u><b><a href="http://www.thepastorsheart.net">http://www.thepastorsheart.net</a></u></b> and via audio podcast.
The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele
Abortion impacts one in six evangelical couples says Claire Smith
There are women in all our lives and churches who have had an abortion. Men, women and children who have been touched by abortion - in our workplaces, churches and families.
Senior pastors need to stop turning a blind eye to this subject and talk much much more about abortion in church.
New Testament scholar and former nurse Dr Claire Smith says we are currently not meeting this pastoral and evangelistic need.
Dr Smith has many suggestions on how to regularly teach pastorally and faithfully on abortion, potentially save many lives in your church.
Plus we talk mistakes made in counselling on abortion at seventeen and eighteen weeks and the fallout and pastoral response needed in a post abortion situation.
