“In my Sophomore class today, we listened to Act 2 of Robert and Emma. We loved it! Thank you!” – Teacher,  Miami, Florida

“The tape you gave me is wonderful! I have had several youth watch it as an ‘enrichment elective’ as one of the Confirmation requirements.

Healing the Culture is showing us the way forward.” – J. Fraser Field, Managing Editor, Catholic Education Resource Center

Religious Leaders

“[Healing the Culture] is not the kind of book that one picks up and reads leisurely over a weekend and then sets aside forever. It is one that needs to be read and reread, chewed on, digested, grappled with and implemented.” – Bishop Robert Vasa, Diocese of Baker, Oregon

“A new approach to the pro-life debate… one of the best talks that I have heard in a long time.” – Pastor Rich Sicard, President of Dane County Association of Evangelical Pastors; Madison, Wisconsin

I wholeheartedly recommend this important organization and its excellent programs.” – Most Reverend Elden Francis Curtiss, Archbishop of Omaha, NE

“I commend Healing the Culture for the exceptional work it is doing to defend the intrinsic dignity of every human person.

College Students

After attending Life Advocacy Student Training (LAST)

“The training is very professional–the philosophical approach teaches you how to think about ethics in general and apply them in any field, so the training and resources will be useful even beyond the pro-life cause.” – University of California Berkeley

“You have a chance to be part of a vital and relevant conversation.” – University of California Berkeley

“It’s more than just a pro-life training. The training really makes you think about why being pro-life is so essential to the health of the culture and society as a whole. The talk and training gives emphasis to the value of every human being, and how the most important right to any and every American citizen is the right to life.  If a person has any ‘pro-life movement’ interest at all than he or she should go to this talk. It will broaden their knowledge and open their eyes to a new perspective about the pro-life movement.” – University of Nevada-Reno

“Each and every one of us thought the training was both beneficial to the club and to us individually. We are now even more motivated to fight for the pro-life movement because of the training.” – University of Nevada-Reno

“They presented information on a personal level as if they were speaking directly to my heart.” – University of Nebraska

High School Students

After taking a two week course in our “Principles and Choices” curriculum at their school…

“I think I’m more against abortion now than I was. I realized that all humans, even unborn, should be given the opportunity to experience life, and that there are millions of people wanting a child.”

“I thought that it depended on the situation, but now I am against it more.”

“This changed my thinking. I believe now that no one should get an abortion just because [the situation] makes them unhappy.”

“It made me feel a little stronger for making abortion illegal.”

“I have always been pro-life, and the lesson only helped me be more sure of my choice.”

“This made me think of abortion as a more cruel and bad option.”

“It made me consider other opinions on why abortion is never okay.”

“I already thought abortion was bad, but now I’m horrified by it.”

“I realized many pro-life arguments.”

“It made my thoughts on it a lot stronger. I am completely against it.”

“I was pro-choice, but now I wouldn’t get an abortion myself.”

“I changed my thinking. I think abortion is almost never okay.”

“It made me think about how people just get abortions because the baby will lower their quality of life and for themselves to be happy, instead of for the baby’s sake.”

“It didn’t completely change my mind, but it helped me see both sides to the argument.”

“I did change my mind on abortion. I want the babies to be born, and then to be adopted.”

“It made me think a little bit about the fetus.”

After hearing a speaker from Healing the Culture in school or during a retreat…

“This gave me a whole new perspective on everything. I understood it all.”

“It gave many answers about the meaning of suffering and love.”

“This was a good reminder of the most important things in life.”

“I have a deeper understanding of God’s love for me.”

“I asked the question about suffering and you answered it very well. It was touching.”

“It reminded me of how chastity and love matters.”

“I have found my reason for living.”

“She doesn’t speak to us like we’re two years old.”

“I learned and understood why God allows people to suffer.”

“She knew how to reach everyone and make us think, laugh, cry.”

“I want to go home and spread this love I feel to everyone!”

“She was amazing and related to us.”

“She explained things very well and made it fun to listen to. It was definitely not boring.”

“She was an awesome speaker and I learned so much!”

“This gave me the words to express things I had always known, so now I can share it.”

“It was hard for me to understand at first why God would let people suffer, but now I understand.”

“I learned to believe in God.”

“The final talk answered many of my questions.”

“This has inspired me to live a life closer to God.”

“She can relate very well to younger people.”

“The small group discussions helped me to better understand the meaning of life and how I can share that with others who are struggling. Everything makes much more sense to me now.”

“I’ll always remember the four levels of happiness.”

“I learned how to answer the question of suffering.”

“This helped me prepare for my first year of college, and the questions that people will ask me.”

“I wanted to let you know that your interview on television was awesome.

Buehler, Sterling, VA
