Luke wrote "Acts of the Apostles" as a sequel to his Gospel. The book picks up after the ascension of Jesus to chronicle the life of the early Church. That makes the Easter season a great time to pray through Acts of the Apostles.

Hosted by Steve Karlen, the 40 Days for Life Podcast is a weekly conversation rooted in action and hope. It moves beyond abstract debate, focusing instead on the tangible, often personal ways individuals engage with one of the most profound issues within culture and society. Each episode connects the principles of faith and philosophy to the practical work of building a world that values life. You’ll hear from Shawn Carney and a variety of co-hosts and guests who share firsthand accounts from the front lines-stories that are not only inspiring but demonstrate real-world impact. The discussions in this podcast naturally explore strategy, personal conviction, and the occasional moment of levity that sustains long-term commitment. It’s about equipping a global community with perspective and tools, fostering a spirituality that is active and compassionate. The tone is direct and earnest, reflecting the experiences of a movement that spans across different backgrounds. Listeners will find a space that is both challenging and supportive, dedicated to thoughtful dialogue and the shared belief that local action contributes to a larger cultural shift. This is for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how faith intersects with civic life and personal responsibility, offering more than just commentary but a sense of shared purpose.
