Equal Rights Institute Turns Three

Last month marked the three-year anniversary of the launch of Equal Rights Institute. It’s been a fantastic year.

We spoke to 4,250 people in 34 speeches and one all-day seminar. (We rarely do seminars now that the course is out. Now we encourage groups to get the course and then consider flying one of us out for Q&A and roleplay exercises.)

We also published 13 new articles to our blog, which were read by 27,791 people, mainly visiting our site from America, Russia, Canada, the United Kingdom, India, and Australia!

To put those numbers in perspective, we gave about twice as many speeches and spoke to about twice as many people as we had the year before, while we cut our article publishing in more than half while finishing course production and moving. Thanks to our growth in other areas, our blog traffic per article has grown since the last year, so we didn’t see very much of a dip in blog traffic at all.

Here are a few of my favorite memories from the last year:

SPEECH: Why Every Teenager Should Be Equipped In Pro-Life Apologetics

Download Audio MP3 | 00:58:23

This is a speech and Q&A session I gave at a homeschool conference in Atlanta this year. I describe what it’s currently like to be a pro-life student on a college campus as well as the concepts that teenagers should be equipped in before they graduate high school.

After the speech I answered these questions:

  1. 50:09: When do you tell your kids about abortion?
  2. 54:17: What are your thoughts about sidewalk counseling ministry?

During Q&A I spontaneously talked about what youth pastors can do to prevent abortions in their churches because there was at least one youth pastor in the audience. That part starts at 52:34.
