Jo Jorgensen: Meet a conservative Christian who fights drug prohibition.
ACEs
Christina Dent is a conservative Christian. And she’s just the right person to do outreach to that audience.
She doesn’t smoke, drink, or use drugs. She’s also pro-life, and that motivated her to participate in fostering children.
And that fostering experience was the beginning of a learning journey.
She learned about ACEs – Adverse Childhood Experiences.
ACEs are traumas. As these negative events accumulate in childhood, they increase the odds of addiction. Christina discovered that foster care includes ACEs.
Should Christians fight drug prohibition?
Christina Dent is now a Christian fighting drug prohibition. She leads an organization called End If For Good.
How did she get there?

Christina’s Testimony
Christina is an evangelical. Evangelicals place a high value on a conversion experience. And it’s part of their culture to share their conversion story. They call it “sharing your testimony.”
My friend, Jim Babka, sat down with Christina Dent. The result is…
A THREE-PART SERIES. This is Part One.
In the upcoming installments, Christina will do a better job than most explaining why drug prohibition matches no conception of pro-life, beauty, or human flourishing.
But here’s the real power of this first episode…
Christina can speak to evangelicals in their language. Her conversion on this issue will connect with them.
