Hour 1: Celebrating the Dignity of Birthmoms - with Paul Batura
In a Post-Roe era, it is important to emphasize and celebrate the dignity of birthmothers and adoption, because their sacrificial decisions will help shape the next generation--and beyond. After all, if we want women to choose life, they need to be affirmed in the nobility of their decision to make adoption plans. On Friday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Paul Batura, FOTF's VP of Communication talks about how the impact of adoption affects not just the child, but so many more lives as well. Paul, an adoptive parent to three boys himself and author of Chosen for Greatness: How Adoption Changes the World, tells how he has seen God's redemption through his own story as an adoptive parent.
Hour 2: First Responders the Movie - with producer Rick Eldridge
On Friday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, producer, Rick Eldridge joins us to share details about an upcoming film that shines the light on local heroes that run to danger and struggle with PTSD and other issues on a daily basis. The movie, First Responders, a two-night-only event, October 24 and 25, shares a message of hope and healing, but also gives a very honest look at the battles of these firefighters, police, and EMTs as they face these life-changing challenges.
