The BRAVE Way Podcast EP3 | Pastor Jeff & Seth Gruber: Christians Standing Against Culture of Death

Aug 29, 2024    Dr. Jeff Schwarzentraub, Seth Gruber

Pastor Jeff and Seth Gruber delivered an evocative sermon emphasizing the need for Christians to stand up against the culture of death and uphold kingdom values here on Earth. Seth shared about his passion for defending the sanctity of life through his pro-life ministry, White Rose Resistance.


He explained how his organization tackles cultural issues holistically instead of concentrating solely on abortion. Seth underscored the notion that these issues are interconnected, stemming from a worldview bent on imposing anti-Christian values on society. He urged Christians to unapologetically counteract this culture of death and to comprehend the strategies employed by the opposition. Seth insisted on the vitality of peaceful activism, like sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics and participating in prayer and worship events. He recounted real-world examples where such peaceful activism successfully reduced scheduled abortions and even averted the inauguration of a late-term abortion center.


Seth also addressed gender roles in the pro-life movement, emphasizing its importance to men as they were once fetuses themselves, and a significant portion of aborted children are male. Importantly, he implored churches to actively pray against abortion and other cultural issues, reiterating that God wants His people to influence positive change. Seth concluded by inspiring believers to relish the challenge of standing up for truth, resisting worldly evils, firm in the belief that God supports their cause.
