Learn how to generate light, not heat, in your conversations about abortion.

Relational Approach

Our **experienced trainers** will teach you how to discuss the topic of abortion with relational tact, using compelling arguments honed through **thousands of conversations** with pro-choice advocates.

Distinctive Training

This mentor-guided experience goes beyond theoretical knowledge. We emphasize **learning by doing** through interactive role-play exercises to prepare you for your next conversation.

Whether you’re new to the dialogue or looking to sharpen your skills…

Our team will equip you to answer tough pro-choice objections related to financial hardship, quality of life, the science of when life begins, whether the unborn have basic equal rights, pregnancy resulting from sexual assault — and more. Everything we teach is within the context of being a good ambassador for Christ, showing love and compassion every step of the way.

Get equipped to change hearts and save lives!

““Last school year I had the opportunity of attending a JFA workshop… I cannot even begin to describe the ways we’ve seen hearts changed and fruitful convos had. I’m beyond grateful for all the skills because they truly have been transformative in the way we connect with our peers!””

— Ally, UC Berkeley, 2023

““I thought I knew a lot about discussing abortion, but this seminar really opened my eyes to some key concepts I was missing.””

— Patrick, JFA Seminar Participant, 2018
