Why the Church Has to Show Up

from The We Love Life Podcast · host Love Life

In this episode of the We Love Life Podcast, Daniel Parks sits down with Southern California Regional Director Sean “The Stash” Thornburg and Pastor Charlie Battaglia of Bible Time with Charlie to talk about calling, courage, and what happens when the Church moves from talking about life to showing up for life. Charlie shares his journey from acting and podcasting to standing on the sidewalk outside abortion centers, how prayer became his greatest weapon, and why obedience to God often costs friendships but leads to deeper purpose. Together, they unpack what God is doing across Southern California in 2026, the power of prayer walks, and why even a few faithful believers can make an eternal difference. This conversation will encourage anyone who has felt the nudge to step out, pray, and be a voice for the most vulnerable. 🔗 Learn more about Love Life: https://lovelife.org 🔗 Find a prayer walk near you: https://lovelife.org/locations 🔗 Connect with the movement: https://lovelife.org/connect 🎙 Listen to Bible Time with Charlie: (Search: Bible Time with Charlie)
