Can You Change Someone’s Mind About Abortion? w/ Ava Calhoun


Summit Ministries

Can you actually change someone’s mind about abortion? In a culture where conversations about abortion often become heated and divisive, is it possible to have meaningful discussions that lead people to reconsider their beliefs? And what does Gen Z really think about the value of human life?

In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Jeff Myers sits down with Ava Calhoun, a graduate of Summit Ministries’ Student Conference and Gap Year program, who has been taking conversations about abortion directly to the streets. By asking strangers a simple question—”When do you think life begins?”—Ava is discovering what young people believe about abortion, why they hold those views, and what it takes to change someone’s mind.

Together, they explore how to approach difficult conversations with courage and compassion, why asking thoughtful questions can be more effective than winning arguments, and how Christians can stand for the dignity of every human life while treating those who disagree with genuine love and respect.
