Miller. “We were blessed to have Robertson and CBN as veteran members of the NRB. We send our heartfelt condolences to the Robertson family, and while we mourn his passing, we know that Pat Robertson is now with our Lord and Savior.” NRB celebrates the life and legacy of Christian communicator, evangelist, humanitarian, and faithful servant Pat Robertson. Pro-Life Advocates to NRB Convention: “We Are in This for the Long Game”Veteran pro-life advocates gathered at the 2023 NRB International Christian Media Convention to take part in a panel discussion on “Living in the Dobbs Era: Life After Roe.” Moderated by Eric Metaxas (New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host), the panel featured Abby Johnson (CEO & Founder of And Then There Were None and ProLove Ministries), Jeanne F. Mancini (President at March for Life), Brad Mattes (President at Life Issues Institute), and Dr. Ingrid Skop, M.D. (pro-life OB/GYN and Director of Medical Affairs at Charlotte Lozier Institute). The Supreme Court's historic decision in Dobbs v. Jackson upended Roe at the federal level and put the issue back in the hands of the states. This landmark victory for the sanctity of life called for a new vision and strategy for the next chapter of pro-life activism and advocacy. Panelists weighed in on what the fight to see life respected and protected under the law looks like in a post-Roe America. At NRB 2023, Thought Leaders Combat Woke IdeologiesOn Tuesday, May 23, respected Christian thought leaders discussed critical issues facing Christians in the church pews and in the public square today, in a forum titled “CRT/ESG/DEI and Its Impact in the Church and Marketplace.” The engaging panel was moderated by Adele Malpass, President of the Daily Caller News Foundation, and featured panelists John Cooper (host of “Cooper Stuff” and musician at Skillet), Star Parker (Founder and President of Center for Urban Renewal and Education), Jeremy Tedesco (Senior Vice President of Corporate Engagement at Alliance Defending Freedom), and Dr. Eric Wallace (Co-founder and President of Freedom’s Journal Institute). As pernicious ideologies elevating false ideals for morality and social responsibility continue to grow in popularity, it has become all the more necessary for Christians to learn about their dangerous implications and how to respond to them. Panelists weighed in on how dangerous ideological currents have become mainstream and what Christians can do about it.
