October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month—a time when many women feel a deep wave of grief and guilt, especially those who have experienced abortion. It’s common to wrestle with feelings of guilt while wanting to grieve the children we lost. Watching others mourn losses from miscarriage, stillbirth, or early infant death can make us feel like our grief isn’t valid because we made a diff...

Welcome to our very first BONUS episode! This week, I had the incredible opportunity to share my testimony with 40 Days for Life outside the local abortion facility in Moorhead, MN. While the building looks different, it’s the same clinic where I had my abortion nearly 13 years ago—almost to the day. Remarkably, the ownership, many of the staff, and even some of the escorts and sidewalk advocates...

Grief is not something we can control—especially when it comes to the loss felt after abortion. Sometimes, grief catches us unexpectedly. It may feel especially strong around the due date of your child, the anniversary of your abortion, or during holidays and family gatherings. No matter when grief hits, God’s desire is for us to experience joy—even in the midst of our pain. In today’s episode, we...

Did you know the word “abortion” doesn’t actually appear in the Bible? It’s true—the exact term isn’t mentioned anywhere in Scripture. So what does that mean for us today? How do we understand when life begins according to God’s Word? And most importantly, how do we know if God forgives us for the choices we’ve made? In this episode, we’ll dive into these important questions together. You might wa...

Have you ever thought about the other people involved in your abortion experience? Maybe those who helped you make that decision are carrying their own feelings of shame and guilt. Do you find yourself struggling with anger or resentment toward them? While we are ultimately responsible for our choices, it’s natural to have complex emotions about others who played a part. Yet, the Bible calls us to...

Society often tells us that abortion has no lasting negative effects—that women walk away physically and emotionally unharmed, ready to live full, unaffected lives. But that’s simply not true. Abortion can deeply impact women both physically and mentally. The mental health challenges many face after abortion are very real and are often referred to as Post-Abortion Syndrome. In today’s episode, we’...

🎉 SURPRISE! Our podcast has a brand-new name! 🎉 For months, I’ve felt a stirring in my heart to rename the show—and recently, God gave me a clear download to dig deeper and fully commit to this ministry. That’s how Does God Forgive Abortion was born, and it’s where we’re headed together now! In this episode, I share the story behind the name change and what it means for our mission moving forwar...

This topic has been heavy on my heart lately. Friend, I know what it feels like to carry the weight of unworthiness and wonder if you truly belong at church. Maybe you’re afraid that if anyone discovers your secret, you won’t be welcome anymore. Maybe your pastor never talks about forgiveness for women who’ve had abortions. You sit in the pew each Sunday, longing for God’s presence but feeling lik...

Did you know that negative thoughts can actually change your brain chemistry? With everything happening in the world right now, it’s no surprise so many of us are feeling overwhelmed and struggling with mental health.

He wants you close to Him, no matter wher...

It’s time for Part 2 of our mini-series on having hard conversations about abortion. 🙏 Last week, we talked about how to approach conversations with your pro-life friends. This week, we’re flipping the script and focusing on how to talk to your pro-choice friends about abortion—without burning bridges or compromising the truth. We live in a culture where abortion can be one of the most divisive t...

Let me guess—you’ve had one or more abortions, and the thought of opening up to your pro-life friends makes your stomach drop. What if they reject you? What if they judge you? What if they never see you the same way again? Friend, I hear you. But here's the truth: most pro-life individuals aren’t looking to shame you—they're longing to extend compassion. In fact, many are the very first faces of m...

I’m back with another book review—and if you love hearing about powerful, faith-based reads, you’re in for a treat. 📚 One of my goals is to always keep at least one educational, truth-filled book in my rotation—especially ones that speak directly to the real impact of abortion and the healing available through Christ. This week, I’m sharing my thoughts on Cradle My Heart by Kim Ketola. This book...

Have you ever felt like God is trying to tell you something… but you just can’t quite figure out what it is? Maybe it feels like He’s leaving you a trail of breadcrumbs—small signs, quiet nudges, or repeated themes—but you're not sure how to interpret them. You’re not alone. God speaks in personal and intentional ways, and while His voice may not always be loud, it is present. In this episode, we’...

I recorded this episode just over a month ago—so if it sounds like I’m speaking in “real-time,” that’s why! I wanted to capture my thoughts while they were still fresh and raw. In this episode, I’m reviewing the powerful and captivating autobiography by Dr. Bernard N. Nathanson—the abortion doctor who became a leading voice for life after a radical change of heart.   Sources:  The Hand of God   ...

We took a planned break during our retreat week… and then God extended it a bit longer than expected. 😅 In this episode, I’m sharing a few personal updates and how this pause became a sacred space for me to slow down, seek God intentionally, and listen for His direction on some long-prayed-over decisions. He showed up. He spoke. And I finally have the clarity I needed. 🙌 If you’ve been in a seas...

Welcome to the FINAL episode in our Stages of Grief Series! Today, we’re exploring acceptance—the last stage of grief. But what does acceptance really mean after abortion? Does it mean we’re “okay” now? That the grief is gone? Or that we believe abortion was a good thing? Not at all. Grief doesn’t just disappear or get “outgrown.” It becomes part of us, and we learn to live and grow around it. Acc...

We’re supposed to feel excitement and joy with the warmer days. But maybe you’re not feeling that way right now.

Have you ever made a mistake or let someone down—and then tried to “make it up” to them? Maybe you promised to be home at a certain time but were late, so you offered to make it right. Or perhaps you missed quality time with your child and promised a special treat to make up for it. These are examples of bargaining—trying to restore peace when we know we’ve fallen short. Though these everyday situ...

Anger is one of the strongest emotions—and often a sign of deeper feelings beneath the surface. When it comes to abortion, anger usually stems from grief, shame, guilt, or regret. You might feel angry at yourself, God, the doctor, the father, friends, or others connected to your decision. While anger is a natural and valid response, it can’t be allowed to control your healing journey. Holding onto...
