Brian welcomes Dr. Richard Mantoan, a pro-life leader and activist in Flossmoor, Illinois on the south side of Chicago, for a firsthand look at building a life-affirming presence in one of Illinois’ toughest places. Dr. Mantoan shares how a simple parish project drew him into 40 Days for Life, what happened when a Planned Parenthood opened next door to his dental practice, and how local leaders rallied to launch a nearby Aid for Women pregnancy center, followed by a daily Coalition Life presence on the sidewalk. He unpacks the power of parish engagement (including retirees), respectful outreach to clinic workers, and why sustained, prayerful witness changes decisions and communities. You’ll hear: practical steps to get started (pray, discern, show up), tips for inviting your parish into the mission, and encouragement from Chicago’s recent pro-life efforts.Guest: Dr. Richard Mantoan (Flossmoor, IL)Host: Brian Westbrook, Executive Director, Coalition LifeListen & subscribe wherever you get podcasts.
