Brian welcomes Archbishop Emeritus Joseph Naumann (Kansas City in Kansas), former chair of the USCCB’s Pro-Life Committee, for a candid conversation on faith, advocacy, and what truly changes hearts. From his St. Louis roots and early seminary years to being drafted into pro-life leadership in 1984, Archbishop Naumann unpacks the Church’s fourfold plan—prayer, education, pastoral care (including healing), and advocacy, then reflects on Kansas’ Value Them Both battle, why it lost post-Dobbs, and how the movement must respond. He also clarifies the Church’s role in politics (form consciences, not endorse candidates) and what to look for in a new pope’s moral leadership. You’ll hear:How a culture of life grows through prayer, truth, practical help, and mercyKansas lessons: outside money, fear-based messaging, and engaging first-time votersWhy life is the preeminent issue—and how Catholics should think about “single-issue” votingPastoral focus after Dobbs: strengthening pregnancy help and telling transformative storiesA bishop’s “retirement”: more ministry, less administration—and a couple of inspiring book picksGuest: Archbishop Joseph Naumann (Archbishop Emeritus of Kansas City in Kansas)Host: Brian Westbrook — Executive Director, Coalition LifeListen & subscribe wherever you get podcasts.
