This three-part series of articles is written for pastors by Scott Klusendorf, President of the Life Training Institute, to help equip them for leadership that preaches truth and equips lay-persons to engage the culture with a robust, but graciously communicated, biblical worldview. Be sure to read the whole series.

Part One:
The Assault on Human Dignity

Part Two:
Given current assaults on human dignity, the pro-life pastor must commit himself to four essential tasks:

• Task #1: The pro-life pastor preaches a biblical view of human value.
• Task #2: The pro-life pastor equips his people to engage the culture with a persuasive defense of the pro-life view.
• Task #3: The pro-life pastor restores passion for ministry through cross-centered preaching.
• Task #4: The pro-life pastor communicates redemption to post-abortion individuals and points them toward healing resources.

Part Three:
Confronting Fears of Preaching Inconvenient Truth

• Fear of distraction
• Fear of driving people away who might otherwise hear the gospel.
• Fear of offending people with abortion-related content.
