After having an abortion at 14, I carried the shame of that decision like a secret chain. For years, I wondered: Can God really redeem this? Could He still use me?
Maybe you’ve asked yourself similar questions.
In this episode, I’m sharing how the truth of God’s Word broke the lies I believed about shame, trauma, and being “too far gone.” I want to show you that your past doesn’t disqualify you—it positions you for purpose.
You’ll hear:
✨ How God redeems broken places and restores identity
✨ The truth about shame, healing, and spiritual confidence
✨ Scriptures that will anchor your faith when emotions try to lie
✨ Why God can use even that part of your story for His glory
🎧 And as always, I’ll give you a powerful affirmation to declare over yourself and a journal prompt to help you walk through the layers of shame and step boldly into healing.
God is not ashamed of your story—He wants to redeem it.
