Let me speak to you as a peer, not as a consultant or strategist. Many of the directors I respect most are thoughtful, faithful, and deeply protective of the mission. They didn’t step into leadership casually. They carry history, sacrifice, and responsibility, and that’s exactly why change can feel so threatening. But here’s the hard truth I want to offer gently. When we don’t regularly assess how we’re operating, we can fall behind without realizing it. Unintentionally, that

Each year around this time, many of us return to familiar Scripture passages. We read them because the Christmas season calls for it, and because tradition itself can be grounding. Matthew chapter 2, the story of the Wise Men, is one of those passages. I’ve read it most years of my adult life. But this year, something different stood out. As Christ followers, our primary focus is, and always should be, this: God came to earth in the form of a baby. Jesus was and is the provis

For generations, pregnancy centers have focused on one central goal: helping mothers choose life. That mission is noble and heroic. But we now know something we can no longer ignore: the father is the single greatest influence on a mother’s decision to choose life or abortion. Ignoring him means ignoring half of the equation, and neglecting full efforts to save each baby. Recent data from the Vitae Foundation reinforces this truth. Several Alpha Centers tracking outcomes foun

Last week, we talked about the power of pausing at the end of the year to remember what God has done, to celebrate the people who faithfully carried the mission, and to honestly acknowledge what stretched us. This kind of reflection doesn’t just close a year; it strengthens a team’s heart for the work ahead. But knowing why reflection matters is only the beginning. This week, let’s walk through how to lead your team through a meaningful “Wins, Losses, and Lessons” session.

Pregnancy center leaders across the nation are increasingly encountering clients who mention abortion funding, often saying things like, “I heard there’s a fund that will help pay for my abortion.” These questions are not uncommon, and they deserve informed, confident answers. To serve clients well, it’s essential that every leader and staff member understand how these funds actually work, what they do and don’t provide, and how to use that knowledge to guide conversations wi

In today's digital world, the very first contact a potential client will have with your PRC usually isn't a phone call or a walk-in visit; it's a simple Google search. They are seeking information, support, and most importantly, trust.   Google Reviews are like the modern word-of-mouth, appearing right next to your search listing, and serve as the collective first impression that can either open your digital door wide or shut it tight. To an organization committed to sensitiv

Do you ever have a community member ask, “So how are you different from Planned Parenthood?” It can be a tough question, especially if you don’t know where they stand politically or personally. You might sense that they see Planned Parenthood as the “standard” for women’s healthcare, and that can make you hesitate or worry about sounding judgmental. But here’s the truth: these conversations are golden opportunities . They’re your chance to gently reframe perceptions, communic

Over the last two years, pregnancy centers across the country have witnessed a dramatic shift in the landscape of abortion decision-making. The rise of the abortion pill, coupled with aggressive marketing and quick online access, has led to an increase in clients who arrive with a firm determination to abort. Many women are now making abortion decisions, and even following through on ordering pills, without taking time to pause or fully consider their situation. For many cent

The end of the year often feels like a sprint to the finish line. We're wrapping up reports, planning budgets, and preparing for holiday events, but what if this season could be more than just the closing of a busy year? What if it became a moment of deep reflection and renewed unity for your team? In leadership, pausing to look back is more than a luxury, it should be a discipline. When we take intentional time to remember what God has done, to celebrate the people who serve
