Loving Women Impacted by Unexpected Pregnancy :: Amy Ford [Ep 542]

What happens when love meets fear head-on in the midst of an unplanned pregnancy? Today, Amy Ford, from the ministry "Embrace Grace" is here to share her own personal testimony and how God is moving through local churches to love on women. Amy’s own story of an unexpected pregnancy that ends in total redemption is amazing. From that she started Embrace Grace, an organization that provides baby showers, support before and after birth, and a community that goes beyond. Here is some of what we cover: 

• What “Love Boxes” are and why 30,000+ were given out last year
• The powerful symbolism of Hagar, the first single mom in the Bible, who encountered the God who sees
• A support group for fathers called Embrace Legacy and the vital role they play
• The vision of being in 23,400 churches by 2050 
• How your church can become a place of welcome and grace for single moms and dads
