On January 26th, 2017, I had the honor of presenting a short keynote at ‘Evangelicals for Life’ in Washington, D. C. The event was hosted by the ERLC and Focus on the Family. It is the second time they have had this event.
What I loved about the event was that Evangelicals were called to think more comprehensively about what it means to be ‘pro-life’. Issues like human trafficking, refugee resettlement, and racial reconciliation were highlighted along with care for the unborn and women dealing with unwanted pregnancies. Every speaker I heard was Biblically rooted and provided a solid theological framework for Christian engagement in all these areas and more. It was inspiring, and it signaled a new day in the ‘pro-life’ movement.
I was invited to speak on ‘race and human flourishing– embracing diversity for the good of all people.’ I am sure the video of this talk will soon be made available online. However, in an effort to support our own women’s clinic which is part of the Dream Centers of Colorado Springs, I am releasing the manuscript of my talk as a fundraiser. 50% of the proceeds of will go directly the Women’s Clinic.

Below are a few of the promo videos filmed for the event, featuring a few key ideas that I presented in my talk.
This was an inspiring reflection on how a broader understanding of human flourishing can strengthen the pro-life movement. I appreciate the emphasis on compassion, justice, and Biblical engagement across multiple issues. Just as unexpected connections can spark interest, like hearing a ricochet rabbit ringtone, this event seems to have encouraged fresh thinking and meaningful action within Christian communities.
Glenn Packiam’s discussion on race and human flourishing offers meaningful insights into dignity, justice, and community building. Interestingly, theCloud Computing Assignment Challenges and Outcome can be compared to real-world social systems, where fairness, access, and resilience matter. This connection highlights how technical education and ethical conversations intersect, reminding us that solving complex computing tasks also requires awareness of human impact, inclusivity, and long-term outcomes that shape both academic success and broader societal flourishing in an interconnected digital world today. Overall, both domains emphasize responsibility, problem-solving, and human-centered outcomes in practice and theory for future growth and learning together today.
