For the past 21 years, Council for Life supporters have generously funded the important work of hundreds of life-affirming agencies. What an incredible joy and privilege it has been to serve God and the most vulnerable: the unborn child. We have much to celebrate, and yet our work is only just beginning. We need your continued partnership now more than ever!
With the 2022 overturn of Roe v. Wade, the need for our faith-based beneficiaries is greater than ever. These front-line pro-life organizations are experiencing a substantial increase in expenses due to higher demand from clients coupled with extraordinary inflation. In order to help meet these vital needs, Council for Life has prayerfully and joyfully committed to raise a record $1.35 million to support 27 stellar DFW beneficiaries and their life-changing work.

Metaxas speaks to thousands around the U.S. and internationally each year. In 2012 he was the featured speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. He has been called a “photogenic, witty ambassador for faith in public life” by ABC News, and The Indianapolis Star has described him as “a Protestant version of William F. Buckley.” Princeton’s Dr. Robert P. George has called him “one of our nation’s most brilliant and morally serious public intellectuals.”
Metaxas is the founder and host of Socrates in the City, the acclaimed series of conversations on “life, God, and other small topics,” featuring Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks, Sir John Polkinghorne, Dame Alice von Hildebrand, Baroness Caroline Cox, Sir Roger Scruton, Dick Cavett, Malcolm Gladwell, Francis Collins, Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, and Peter Thiel.

Eric’s commentaries, humor writing, and poetry have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, National Review, and USA Today. His Wall Street Journal op-ed, “Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God” is the most popular and shared piece in the history of the newspaper.
Metaxas has written over 30 children’s books, including the bestsellers It’s Time to Sleep, My Love (illustrated by Nancy Tillman); Squanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving; and God Made You Special (VeggieTales Books).
