I wrote this piece a few years ago. Someone had asked me a really tough question in an email, so I decided to address the question in a blog post in case others were interested. I addressed the need to respond to this pro-choice objection relationally. To my surprise, it seemed to touch a nerve. For the past 2 years, this piece has been the #1 most-read piece from a previous year on our blog. It certainly seems to be connecting with people.

When I was president of Students for Life at the University of Michigan, we tried to do an outreach at least once per month because we felt that once per semester wasn’t quite enough. With that experience and help from the rest of the team, I put together a list of 10 tips that will help student leaders as they prepare for an outreach. Especially if you’re doing this for the first time, you want to prepare for whatever might arise by having a strategic plan and practical supplies.

If you are a part of a dialogue-oriented outreach, you should be paying attention to who should be in a given conversation, and who should not be. This is one of those advanced practical outreach tips that you just learn by doing outreach a lot and by talking with the rest of your team a lot about different kinds of situations. The idea for this piece came to me as we were debriefing an outreach our staff did at Davidson College here outside of Charlotte, NC.

This is a follow-up piece to my previous audio blog on logical fallacies and the danger of accusing people of fallacies they did not commit. This piece focuses on how to effectively expose logical fallacies that are committed during a dialogue. Because this piece became one of the most popular posts, I began including this practical dialogue tip in a lot of my talks.

This is a piece that I wrote a few years ago. I was responding to an annoying trend that I had been seeing, at least among pro-life people. We are tempted to talk about fallacies all the time in conversation, but one danger of accusing people of committing a logical fallacy is that you may not actually know what you’re talking about.
