Standing for those who cannot stand for themselves. 🤍

Saturday at the March for Life in Washington, DC, White Rose Resistance bore witness to the dignity of every human life, especially the unborn who are so often forgotten, hidden, or silenced.

We refuse to sugarcoat injustice. Love demands courage, and compassion demands action.

This is also a call to wake up the silent Church. Neutrality in the face of injustice is not faithfulness. The Church was never meant to be silent while lives are being destroyed.

This is what faithful presence looks like.

The white rose represents remembrance, resistance, and truth. We refuse to look away. We refuse to sugarcoat injustice. Love demands courage, and compassion demands action.

This is what faithful presence looks like.

Most people know we’re often outside Planned Parenthood in DC.

But today, we were also standing in front of the Dupont Clinic, in D.C., a late-term abortion facility that gets very little to no coverage, and one that many people don’t even realize is there.

So we showed up.
We prayed.
We worshiped.
We sidewalk-counseled
And we chalked the sidewalks with messages of hope in Christ, reminders that there are real options, real help, and real love available.

Directly across the street sits an IVF clinic.

Different buildings.
Different methods.

The same heartbreaking reality: human lives treated as disposable. So we stood between both places, praying for an end to the killing of the unborn, no matter how it happens.

This isn’t about politics.
It’s about people.
It’s about women who feel trapped.
And it’s about children who deserve a chance at life.

“Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.” — Proverbs 24:11

Please pray for the women who passed by today, for the babies, and for everyone who stood in the cold to be a quiet, faithful presence of truth and love. 🙏

It was a powerful morning at the DC Planned Parenthood.

Professors. Doctors. Nuns. Activists. Children.

The Saturday before Christmas, we stood united in prayer, sidewalk counseling, and love for the unborn and building a culture of life. We were grateful to stand with Love Life and to support Jordan Jackson and his family as they step out in faith to help launch a new DC chapter.

One moment that stood out deeply: a mother bringing her four young boys to the clinic, not shielding them from the reality, but lovingly teaching them what’s happening and why it matters. She is raising them to see, to care, and to stand for the vulnerable.

Nearby, my friend Elise Ketch was quietly painting a beautiful image of an unborn baby in the womb, a visible reminder of the humanity we are there to defend.

Being present in front of clinics matters.
Prayer shifts atmospheres.
Worship breaks through darkness.
And simply showing up becomes a witness of God’s love to those who feel unseen, afraid, or alone.

If you’ve felt that tug to get more involved… this is your moment. Come stand with us. Pray with us. Be a light in a place where so many are hurting and searching for hope.

“Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” — Psalm 82:4
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” — Proverbs 31:8
“He has told you, O man, what is good… to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” — Micah 6:8

Your presence makes a difference.

Despite the gloomy weather and the snarky comments from passersby, DC’s pro-life street team showed up this morning and stood strong outside the Planned Parenthood.

We prayed, sidewalk counseled, and shared the hope of Christ , but what makes mornings like this even more powerful is the fellowship and community we share.

There’s something incredible about serving shoulder-to-shoulder with people who love Jesus, love life, and are committed to growing together.

These moments on the sidewalk are more than outreach. They are opportunities to grow spiritually, encourage one another, and pray over each other, building genuine Christian community.

God is truly moving in the Nation’s Capital.

Let’s keep standing firm, staying unified, and being a light in dark places.
