I rarely do speaking events in Fresno these days, but I’m looking forward to training pro-life people in the most undervalued argument in the movement at this event at Free Grace Church. I’ll also be talking about some recent discoveries we’ve made at Equal Rights Institute about the kinds of questions that are good to ask, and the kinds of question you should NOT ask. Will be followed by a Q&A session.

Six practical tips for having good dialogues:
Silence your inner monologue.
Rephrase what they said.
Find genuine common ground when possible.
Acknowledge the horror of rape.
Be intentional with your body language.
Be willing to jump to another topic.
