Episode 33
Faith, Courage & the Pro-Life Movement
Featuring Ryan Bomberger
November 10, 2026
In this episode of Wisdom & Influence, Dr. Gerson Moreno-Riaño, president of Cornerstone University, welcomes back Ryan Bomberger during the university’s first Christ and Culture Week.
Bomberger discusses his new documentary and autobiography, “Should Have Been Aborted,” a project inspired by meeting his birth family for the first time. He shares how the title reflects words spoken directly to him — including by a Harvard student — and how the film tells the story of God’s faithfulness in bringing triumph from tragedy.
The conversation covers the church’s silence on abortion, what courage looks like for young people navigating today’s culture, the rise of what Bomberger calls “toxic matriarchy,” Biblical masculinity and the fatherlessness epidemic, how to face public attacks without bitterness, and why the church must engage on issues it too often dismisses as political.
Bomberger also announces that the documentary has been picked up by Angel Studios.
Ryan Bomberger is an Emmy Award-winning creative professional, co-founder of The Radiance Foundation, author and international speaker. He serves as a national fellow in Cornerstone University’s President’s Fellows Program.
