Constitutional Attorney Bradley Pierce joins Zach Schumaker to expose the hidden compromises of the pro-life movement and present the urgent, biblical case for the total abolition of abortion.In this episode:We sit down with constitutional lawyer and President of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, Bradley Pierce. Having practiced for nearly two decades and written legislation across more than 30 states—including filing an influential brief before the U.S. Supreme Court in the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson decision—Bradley breaks down the stark theological and legal divide between being "pro-life" and being an "abolitionist." He uncovers the devastating loop of modern incremental laws, explaining how current "pro-life" bills explicitly grant legal immunity to self-induced chemical abortions and fail to establish absolute equal protection for the unborn.Bradley also opens up about his personal walk with Jesus, the deep spiritual weight of handling four family miscarriages, and the immense blessing of raising 12 children with his wife in a culture defined by convenience and selfishness. He issues a fierce warning regarding America's collective blood guilt, the privatization of the modern pulpit, and why our society must repent of secular pragmatism to stand fully on the authority of God's Word.

Pastor Jeremiah tackles the sensitive realities of cultural division, outlining why Sunday remains the most segregated day of the week in America and challenging believers who put their cultural identity above their Christian faith.Jeremiah opens up about his own journey out of traditional denomination blocks into a raw, spirit-filled walk with God. He shares the painful waiting seasons of his youth, the sting of being targeted with vile slurs by fellow black ministers for standing on biblical principles, and why "virality is the enemy of the church."
