From the DOJ to 40 Days for Life--PODCAST Season 9, Episode 22

Author: Steve Karlen May 28, 2024 Duration: 41:09

Even as the Department of Justice targets pro-lifers, many good men and women work there. 

One of those good men was Dwight Artis, who served as a U.S. attorney before departing to join the 40 Days for Life Institute of Law and Justice.

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we talk to Dwight about how his desire to serve his country brought him from the U.S. Army National Guard to the DOJ and now to 40 Days for Life. Dwight also shares what he sees as the greatest threat to free speech in America. 


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.
