Today on “Let’s Just Talk!” with Kathryn Raaker

Her PLAN’s Autumn Christensen: Supporting Mothers and Babies Beyond Pregnancy

On today’s Let’s Just Talk, meet Autumn Christensen, Executive Director of Her PLAN, which connects organizations supporting pregnant women and mothers of young children. Since launching Her PLAN in 2020, she joined Marjorie Dannenfelser and the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America leadership team to launch Her PLAN, an initiative that connects and supports organizations addressing the medical, social, and material circumstances that may lead women to consider abortion. Autumn has expanded its staff and programs to nearly a dozen states and its vetted resource directory to 29 states. She previously spent 15 years on Capitol Hill and holds degrees in Business and History from Covenant College.

Autumn explains how HerPLAN.org’s 10-question assessment helps people find practical ways to support women through a community network of charities, ministries, and businesses. This Pro-Life Safety Net complements government programs by meeting local needs such as transportation. Mechanics, for example, can help mothers avoid lost work or housing instability by providing essential vehicle services. Another support comes through efforts such as church mother-and-baby closets, especially for women who feel isolated from their faith communities.

Additionally, Autumn described researcher Dr. David Reardon’s work supporting women seeking healing after abortion, miscarriage, or neonatal loss. She explained that pro-life organizations offer practical assistance to mothers and children across eight areas of care, including financial, emotional, material, and parenting support. She emphasized that these advocates support both mothers and babies beyond pregnancy, countering claims that their concern ends at birth.

Now it is your turn to act: visit HerPLAN.org, complete the 10-question assessment, and identify one practical way you can support women and families in your community. Share the resources with your church, organization, or network, invite others to take the assessment, and take your first step today. Your time, skills, or resources could help a mother find the support she needs to choose life and move forward with hope.

See the People: Bob and Vicki Fox Share God’s Love Worldwide in New Spanish Edition

Today’s second guests are Bob and Vicki Fox, co-authors of the inspiring Book, See the People: Achieving a Better World One Life at a Time.  Now the book See the People has a Spanish Edition

Did you know that 85% of the world’s 8 billion people identify with some form of religion? Statisticians have identified more than 10,000 distinct religions worldwide, and in the average country, 54% of people say faith is “very important” in their lives.

For retired international oil executive Bob Fox, those numbers come as no surprise. Over decades of working around the globe, Bob encountered people of every background—Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Shintoists, and more—and witnessed their deep devotion. “They all know how to worship something,” he writes. “And every one of them is loved by God—Jesus died for them.”

A profound personal experience in his backyard in Texas changed everything when Bob felt the Lord whisper: “See the people everywhere you go and wherever you are! All of them have needs, and I want to meet those needs.”

That call shaped his life and his mission. In See the People, which he wrote with his wife, Vicki, Bob shares powerful stories of God working through him to reach people across nations and cultures. One of the most remarkable moments came shortly after 9/11, when Bob was sent to Saudi Arabia. As an American Christian entering a 100% Muslim country during tense times, he found himself praying in the customs line—lamenting the hostility many held toward God’s people. Then he heard God’s quiet voice again, reshaping his perspective and reminding him that He loves every person.

Bob and Vicki’s message is clear and timeless: when we truly “see the people” through God’s eyes, one life at a time, the world becomes a better place. To connect with Bob and Vicki, visit www.seethepeople.org.
