Since their recent pardon by President Trump, the Rescuers have made national headlines—men and women arrested and imprisoned for peacefully blocking abortion facility doors in defense of the unborn.
 

Having always been fascinated by the lives of the saints and martyrs—figures whose difficult witnesses challenge us to re-examine our own convictions - their story immediately caught my attention.

Were they modern-day martyrs, or were they simply driven by misguided zeal? How do we discern the difference? Would people of the past have recognized the saints among them, or do cultural blinders prevent us from seeing clearly in the present?

In our upcoming episodes, you’ll see our family's journey of faith, the Rescuers’ powerful testimonies, and the trials they endured for standing for life. More importantly, we invite you to reflect on what their story reveals about the depth of our own trust in God and whether our response to moral injustices is enough.

These episodes will take you inside the lives of rescuers—through raw testimonies, defining moments in their journeys, and the paths that led them to stand on the front lines.

While history remembers the saints and martyrs who gave up everything for what they believed, the Rescuers live with a similar radical detachment from worldly comforts. Through their stories, we’ll explore the faith lessons we can learn—about conviction, suffering, and what it means to trust God completely.

Fighting for Life: The FACE(s) of Rescue

The Greatest Stories Begin
Where Certainty Ends.

"At the end of your life, you will not Be judged By the comforts you sought, But By the risks you took for Christ. You will not regret the things you did, But the things you left undone."

Pope Benedict XVI

Why did we do it?

The world tells us to seek security, to live safely, to avoid risk. But Christ calls us to something more—to a life poured out in love, to a greatness that can only be found in sacrifice.
 

Last summer, we traveled across the country, immersing ourselves in the stories of men and women who have chosen to embrace this call. They are not celebrities. They are not politicians. They are ordinary Christians—mothers, fathers, young adults, and elderly grandparents—who have counted the cost and decided that the protection of the unborn is worth everything. Whatever your stance on their actions, their complete trust in God is undeniable.

Some have left behind successful careers. Others have spent months or even years in prison. They have risked their reputations, their comfort, and their freedom. Not because they wanted to be radical, but because they recognized that faith without action is dead. Because they know that at the end of our lives, we will not regret the sacrifices we made for love—but we will regret what we left undone.


Even though this meant leaving behind stable jobs and financial security, we knew our sacrifice was small compared to the incredible courage of those we were following. Trusting in God, we set out with enough money for a week's worth of hotel rooms and some gas. We had no idea how long we'd be gone, only that there was something profound to learn from their bold witness. With each step, we relied on God's providence and the generosity of others, discovering that when we walk in faith, He always provides.

Christians, Stand Boldly for Life and Truth

Mountain Range

God asks each of us to step beyond comfort into something greater.

For the rescuers, that meant risking everything to defend the unborn. For us, it meant leaving behind stability to tell their story.

 

What is He asking of you?
 

Will you take the leap?

"The mystery of the cross is that when we embrace it with love, we find how light it truly is."

No Greater Love

FAQ

  • The Rescuers are men and women who have peacefully entered abortion facilities to block access in an effort to defend the unborn and reach women considering abortion. Many have been arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned under the FACE Act for their actions.

  • Our goal is not to tell you whether to support their actions or not—that decision is yours to make.

    Rather, we believe their actions serve as a powerful case study that raises important moral and spiritual questions. Mainstream Christianity should be able to engage with challenging topics like this without fear of being "canceled." These stories challenge us all to reflect on our own convictions and how we respond to the injustice of abortion.

  • The FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act) is a federal law that prohibits obstructing access to abortion facilities. The Rescuers have been prosecuted under this law for their peaceful sit-ins and blockades, resulting in significant legal consequences.

  • Jesus often used bold and even shocking examples to challenge people's assumptions about faith and moral duty. The lives of saints and martyrs confront us in the same way—forcing us to wrestle with what true obedience to God looks like.

    Likewise, the Rescuers’ actions disrupt complacency and push us to ask hard questions: Do we fully trust God? Are we doing enough to confront injustice? Whether we agree with their approach or not, their sacrifice compels us to examine our own response and consider how we can be more faithful in defending the innocent.

  • There are many ways to take action, including prayer, sidewalk counseling, supporting pregnancy resource centers, legal advocacy, and spreading awareness. Our goal is to encourage reflection and meaningful engagement, no matter what role you feel called to take.

  • Many of the Rescuers and their families face financial and emotional hardship due to legal battles and imprisonment. You can support them through prayer, donations, or by sharing their stories to raise awareness.

  • The episodes will be released on our website and YouTube. We have faced heavy censorship for talking about this topic, and the only way we can guarantee you'll stay updated is by subscribing to our newsletter and our YouTube channel.
