The Garrison Podcast
The Garrison aims to equip believers to fulfil the Great Commission and to share the truths of Christianity with non-believers. I believe that the best way to achieve this goal is through my podcast, The Garrison Podcast. My podcast aims to explore common questions about Christianity more deeply and to inspire and educate as many people as possible with the good news of Christianity!

The words "Pro-Choice" and "Christian" don't seem to be compatible, and for good reason too. However, many so-called "Christians" today seem to be exactly that.

In this episode, Nic breaks down why BIBLICALLY, you cannot be a Pro-Choice Christian, and what we can learn from the Bible about the issue.
