Recorded live at Care Net’s 2025 National Conference in Charlotte, NC, this special episode features Elisa Childers—author, musician, apologist, and host of the Elisa Childers Podcast. Before delivering her keynote, Elisa sat down with Care Net President & CEO Roland Warren to share her powerful pro-life journey and the heart behind her message. In this conversation, Elisa encourages listeners not to grow weary in three areas: Upholding truth in a culture drifting from biblical foundations Proclaiming the gospel as the only anchor for a lasting pro-life ethic Doing good in the day-to-day, even when results seem hidden Her story and message remind us that the fight for life is not just about a single decision—it’s about truth, gospel hope, and faithful perseverance.

Recorded live at Care Net’s 2025 National Conference in Charlotte, NC, this special CareCast features Dr. Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, in conversation with Roland Warren. Just minutes after delivering his keynote, Dr. Mohler joins Roland to unpack why the family is central to the life issue. Together, they trace abortion and related cultural shifts—no-fault divorce, the sexual revolution, and the autonomy push—back to a deeper rebellion against God’s creation order. Their dialogue shows how unraveling one thread weakens the whole fabric, and why starting at the smallest platoon—the family—is key to rebuilding. The episode points beyond “saving the baby” to a fuller vision: discipling mothers, fathers, and children for generations, grounded in the gospel. Listen in for a candid, biblical conversation on how church and family must work together to restore what our culture has torn apart.

Episode Summary For the first time, CareCast is also available in video. In this episode, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro take on our culture’s “my truth” moment and make the Pro Abundant Life case for something sturdier: objective truth. What happens to conversations about abortion when truth gets personalized—and how can the church respond with grace and clarity? What you’ll hear When truth gets personal, debate turns hostile: If truth is purely individual, disagreement feels like a personal attack. That mindset fuels division and shuts down honest dialogue. Loving our neighbors begins with agreeing there’s a truth outside of us. Why it matters Real love and justice require more than personal preference. This conversation equips pastors, leaders, and church members to speak clearly, listen compassionately, and disciple families well.

In the second half of this powerful CareCast conversation, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro dive deeper into the Parable of the Good Samaritan and its implications for the pro-life movement today. The message is clear: advocacy alone is not enough. Without the compassion and commitment that come from understanding who our neighbor truly is, even the most well-intentioned laws fall short. It's time for the church to reclaim its voice and mission—not simply to be pro-life, but to live out the abundant life that Christ calls us to.

What if Jesus’s most famous parable about kindness wasn’t just a lesson in compassion—but a roadmap for engaging in the pro-life mission? In part one of this special CareCast episode, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro explore how the parable of the Good Samaritan reveals not only who our “neighbor” is, but what it really means to be Pro Abundant Life. Their conversation challenges today’s cultural definitions of compassion and invites believers to step into a broader, deeper vision of love, justice, and care for the vulnerable.

What happens when sorrow and shame are used to justify the killing of the innocent? On a recent CareCast episode, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro tackle one of the most troubling statements yet from a prominent Christian leader—one that could reshape the church’s moral compass on life…unless we speak up.

What if saving a baby from abortion was only the beginning of our pro-life work—not the end? In this CareCast episode, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro expose a missing link in today’s life movement: the breakdown of marriage and the family. Drawing from a major new study of over five million children, they explore how divorce is not only devastating to children—it’s directly fueling our nation’s abortion crisis.

What if the best a political solution can offer the unborn… is a sword? That’s the sobering insight from a familiar but often overlooked Bible story. In the newest CareCast, Roland Warren and Vince DiCaro explore what King Solomon’s famous judgment reveals about the limits of politics and the power of moral clarity when it comes to defending life.

Is the pro-life movement being led by the wrong voice? In the newest CareCast, Care Net President and CEO Roland Warren and Chief Outreach Officer Vincent DiCaro ask a bold and necessary question: are we letting politics shape our values more than Scripture? When it comes to abortion, too often the podium speaks louder than the pulpit.

What if the biggest argument against the abortion pill is the one we rarely lead with? While recent data reveals alarming risks to women’s health—including a serious adverse event rate of over 11 percent—the greatest danger of the abortion pill lies elsewhere. In the latest episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro discuss why the conversation surrounding abortion pills must change and why focusing solely on harm to women could backfire in unexpected ways.

Is late-term abortion just a “myth” used by pro-life advocates? That’s the line we often hear. But what happens when The New York Times publishes a front-page article that contradicts that narrative—and Planned Parenthood’s own words back it up?

Welcome to CareCast, Care Net's podcast on family, faith, and life with Roland Warren, Care Net's President and CEO, and Vincent DiCaro, Care Net's Chief Outreach Officer. This is part one of a special two-part podcast series where Roland and Vincent discuss an article in The New York Times exposing Planned Parenthood substandard treatment of patients and employees. Let's listen in on part one.

What happens when personal autonomy becomes the highest virtue? In Great Britain, a newly passed assisted suicide bill reveals the dangerous trajectory of a society that prioritizes "choice" over life itself. In the latest episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro unpack how this law reflects a broader shift—one that mirrors the same arguments used to justify abortion. When a society begins deciding who deserves to live and who should die, the most vulnerable always pay the price.

Language shapes perception—and the pro-choice movement knows it. A subtle yet dangerous shift has emerged, reframing pregnancy as an act of "co-creation" rather than "procreation." This language twist is more than semantics; it’s a direct challenge to the biblical truth that God alone is the Creator, and we are entrusted to bring forth what He has already made. In the latest episode of CareCast, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro expose this ideological shift and its implications. Is this just another clever rebranding, or does it fundamentally change how society views life in the womb?

In the newest CareCast episode, Roland Warren, President and CEO of Care Net, and Vincent DiCaro, Chief Outreach Officer at Care Net, discuss why the pro-life movement must engage in this new battleground: defining who deserves rights. Biblical truth is clear—every human is made in God's image, and personhood is not something earned. In this episode, Warren and DiCaro expose how pro-choice advocates are reframing the debate and how pro-lifers can effectively respond.

A recent CDC report indicates a two percent decline in abortions between 2021 and 2022, but is this truly a cause for celebration? In the latest CareCast episode, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro dive deeper into these numbers, uncovering hidden truths about abortion trends, the abortion pill, and what it all means for the pro-life movement.

In the latest CareCast episode, Roland Warren and Vincent DiCaro tackle a controversial post by Catholics for Choice. Through thought-provoking dialogue, they explore the flawed theology behind the statement, contrasting it with biblical truths about moral choices, sanctity of life, and Christian responsibility.

Adoption changed Mark Schultz’s life, and now he’s using his platform to inspire others.
