See Life 2020 Premiere Viewed by Hundreds of Thousands on Opening Weekend

See Life 2020

Focus on the Family’s highly anticipated sequel to “Alive from New York” – last year’s live ultrasound of Abby Johnson’s pre-born baby in New York City’s Times Square – debuted to high acclaim this past Saturday night across multiple social media platforms. 

Airing only hours after President Trump nominated Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judge, Amy Coney Barrett, the moving one-hour documentary titled See Life 2020 featuring pro-life champions and award-winning musical artists galvanized and inspired those who watched. 

“WOW!

Jim Daly Statement – Amy Coney Barrett

I was very encouraged to hear President Trump today announce his choice for the Supreme Court, Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. From all reports, Judge Barrett is a constitutionalist judge in the mold of her former boss, Justice Antonin Scalia, for whom she clerked after graduating summa cum laude from Notre Dame Law School. 

Prior to joining the 7th Circuit in 2017, Judge Barrett taught constitutional law at Notre Dame and other schools for many years, and her reputation as an originalist and textualist grew through her writings and speeches.

Tonight on CNN & Fox News – Watch the Image Many Don’t Want the World to See

See Life 2020

Once upon a time, back when tens of thousands of people were permitted to gather together side-by-side, the sound of a baby’s heartbeat and the sight of his tiny pre-born form silenced a crowd gathered in New York City’s Times Square on a sunny Saturday afternoon in May.

It’s been called the “Times Square Miracle” – the culmination of “Alive from New York,” Focus on the Family’s pro-life event in May of last year that featured a live 4D ultrasound broadcast on four jumbotrons in mid-town Manhattan.

See Life 2020

If I could, I’d love to bring you behind-the-scenes of Focus on the Family’s SEE LIFE 2020 production. 

Since early this summer, the team’s been hard at work interviewing and filming many of the leading voices in the pro-life movement today:

Abby Johnson, Lila Rosa, Alveda King, Christina Bennett, Candace Owens, Mike Singletary, Jeanne Mancini and Melissa Ohden.

The team spent a week in Nashville recording soul-stirring, life-themed music with Selah, Phil Stacey and Danny Gokey – and many others.

VIDEO: This 12-Year-Old Boy Saved 50 Babies – So Far

Don’t let anybody ever tell you that kids can’t do big and significant things.

I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of meeting some remarkable children in my lifetime. In fact, I met one just last week here at Focus on the Family. 

His name is Sawyer Hagberg, and he is 12 years old.

Sawyer was playing a video game one day this past summer when a Focus on the Family video came on. It’s a special spot we created to help call attention to our SEE LIFE 2020 online event that’s scheduled for Saturday September 26th at 8 P.M.

I Was Verbally Assaulted Outside the White House. Here is How I Responded.

The White House at night

By now you’ve likely seen the images of the maddening maelstrom outside the White House last Thursday night following President Trump’s acceptance speech to conclude the final night of the Republican National Convention.

Mobs of individuals behaving in a vile and vicious manner harassing and haranguing departing attendees, including Senator Rand Paul and his wife, Kelley. The Pauls believe they would have been killed if not for the police escort that surrounded them as they walked along the sidewalk after departing the grounds of the Executive Mansion.

Please Pray: Couple Celebrates 67th Anniversary Apart Due to COVID-19 Restrictions

Elderly couple holding hands

The coronavirus pandemic has been extremely difficult for all Americans for many reasons. Many have died due to the disease. Others have had friends and relatives pass away. And some have delayed or missed funerals because of social distancing and stay-at-home orders.

Yet another unfortunate consequence of the restrictions is the isolation and loneliness that many have faced.

I’ve recently learned of one such situation relayed to me by a supporter of Focus on the Family.
