A Reporter Doing the Lord’s Work

In the early years of this new century, my life went through an upheaval: I lost my job at WHO Radio.  But at the same time, I was experiencing great emotional fulfillment.  I had converted to the Catholic Faith.  I became a Knight of Columbus and my reporting switched from farm news to coverage of people who were living their faith in a battle for life.

The timing of this episode has nothing to do with the news that the US Supreme Court may overturn a long standing ruling on abortion rights.  But it parallels, as the events and people I reported on from 2009 to 2013 were the vanguard of a non-denominational effort to offer love, hope and help to women with a crisis pregnancy.  My guest, Steve Cashman, a Des Moines businessman tells his story.
