Raise Up Men

In this episode of the We Love Life Podcast, Daniel Parks and Brian Ottinger sit down with Luke Pierson, Discipleship Pastor at Apologia Church and co-founder of End Abortion Now. Together, they dive deep into biblical manhood, the crisis of weak men and weak preaching, and how reclaiming God’s design for men is key to ending abortion.
Luke unpacks the Four Ps of godly leadership—prophet, priest, protector, provider—and shares how men can lead their homes through prayer, scripture, and accountability. The conversation gets real about issues like pornography, victim mentality, feminism’s impact on the church, and the need for bold, uncompromising preaching that calls men to repentance and action.
