Life, Adoption & Truth: From Tragedy to Triumph
Featuring Ryan Bomberger
April 14, 2026
Emmy award-winning artist and Radiance Foundation co-founder Ryan Bomberger joins Cornerstone University President Gerson Moreno-Riaño on the Wisdom and Influence podcast to discuss the pro-life movement, the church’s responsibility to defend human dignity, and how Christians can engage culture-shaping issues with conviction and compassion. Bomberger recounts how he and his wife founded the Radiance Foundation in 2009 to illuminate the truth that every human life has God-given purpose, and describes campaigns including billboard initiatives addressing the disproportionate impact of abortion on Black communities. The conversation examines the post-Dobbs landscape—state abortion ballot initiatives, moral questions surrounding IVF, and the growing assisted suicide movement—while confronting the silence of many churches on the sanctity of life. Bomberger also shares his personal story of being conceived in rape and adopted into a family of fifteen, previewing his forthcoming book and documentary, Should Have Been Aborted. Listeners will gain practical insight into advocating for the unborn with truth, love, and biblical conviction.
