I’ve always loved asking questions. My kids hate that about me. Year after year at back to school nights they’d dive under their desks at the teacher’s familiar invitation “Does anyone have any questions?” I always did.
Now that I’m hosting a pro-life TV talk show I get to ask them every day. Most of the Saturdays of our show tapings begin with me going over a few facts with the guests, waiting patiently for the mikes to be clipped on and praying silently that God’s message will be brought out in the interview. He never fails me! From celebrities to retired folk, we have been blessed with men women and children who have shared their joys, triumphs and heartaches in the hopes that someone else may be helped and God will use their story for good.
It would be so hard to pick a favorite, but I can’t help remembering the children. Little Hannah, the “Snowflake Baby” who looked bravely at our camera and proclaimed “Please let us live.” David, the Broadway star of “Cats” who shared his personal story of two aborted children. Jill Stanek, the nurse who witnessed a Christian hospital doing early labor abortions and refusing to stop. Some of these guests gave me what I like to call “goose-bumpy” moments. Like the time I asked Jill what she’d like to say this minute to a nurse that’s on her way to work in a place doing abortions. The room fell silent as she looked directly at the camera and said “Don’t do it. Don’t go. Say SOMETHING…today.” I have a feeling somebody out there did.
So how many people watch our show and how many lives have been saved? Only God knows. We will never fully know the impact of our show while on this earth, and we’re okay with that. In the meantime, we’ll keep searching for those heartfelt stories of God’s redeeming grace and forgiveness and more ways to share hope for choosing life!
