In this deeply moving episode, Brittany sits down with Deborah, a woman whose story of pain, redemption, and freedom powerfully reveals the heart of God’s mercy. From growing up in foster care to navigating broken relationships, motherhood, and a painful abortion at age 19, Deborah’s journey captures the real struggles many Christian women face when trying to reconcile faith and regret.
Deborah opens up about the moment she heard a still, small voice urging her to leave the abortion clinic—a voice she later recognized as the Holy Spirit—and how that experience became a turning point in her walk with God. Though she carried guilt for years, Deborah shares how she finally encountered true forgiveness through Christ and how attending the Forgiven and Set Free Retreat helped her release the burden of shame she’d been carrying for decades.
Through tears, laughter, and truth, this episode reminds listeners that healing after abortion is not only possible—it’s promised to those who come to Jesus.
Deborah’s story is a testimony that will inspire women everywhere to bring their pain into the light and discover freedom through Christ.

Do you ever walk into church feeling like everyone can see your guilt? Like you don’t belong there because of your past? Maybe you sit in worship holding back tears, afraid that if you let them fall, everyone will know what you’ve done. If you’ve ever felt that tension — loving church but dreading the emotions it brings up — this episode is for you.
In this heartfelt conversation, Brittany shares her own experience of what it was like to attend church after her abortion — when every sermon and worship song seemed to stir emotions she had worked so hard to bury. She opens up about the fear of being “found out,” the discomfort of feeling exposed, and how she eventually realized those emotions weren’t something to hide… they were part of her healing.
You’ll hear how God used the church — not as a place of shame, but as a hospital for her heart. Through Scripture and story, Brittany reminds listeners that when emotions rise in church, it’s not punishment — it’s the Holy Spirit working within you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why emotional reactions in church often signal healing, not condemnation
How to see church as a safe space for your grief and growth
Three powerful scriptures to help you embrace your emotions and rest in God’s grace
Your tears don’t disqualify you — they’re evidence that God is mending what’s been hurt. Church is for you, friend. It’s where God meets you in the middle of your mess and leads you toward peace.

In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, Brittany sits down with Marianne, an adoptee and animal rescuer from North Carolina, to explore her journey through identity, faith, and the complex emotions surrounding abortion.
Marianne opens up about her life as an adoptee raised in a conservative Christian home, the pain of losing her adoptive mother at a young age, and the spiral of grief that followed. Through honest reflection, she shares how her struggles with belonging and worth led her to question everything—including her views on abortion and her faith in God.
What began as a story of confusion and anger becomes one of redemption and awakening. Marianne describes how personal research and exposure to the realities of abortion shifted her perspective once again—this time toward compassion, truth, and a renewed desire to protect life through empathy and education.
Together, Brittany and Marianne discuss the importance of informed consent, transparency, and grace in conversations about abortion. They remind listeners that behind every opinion or belief lies a story—often marked by pain, loss, and the longing to be understood.
If you’ve ever wrestled with your stance on abortion or struggled to reconcile your beliefs with your experiences, this episode offers a rare, grace-filled perspective that invites you to listen with both truth and tenderness.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Marianne’s journey as an adoptee navigating grief and identity after her mother’s death
How pain and loss shaped her initial shift from pro-life to pro-choice
The turning point that brought her back to faith and renewed compassion for women and the unborn
Why transparency and informed consent matter in abortion discussions
How sharing our stories can bring healing—and even lead others to Christ

This is a hard topic—and one we don’t talk about enough. While most abortions happen in the first trimester, I know there are women listening who are carrying the heavy pain of a late-term abortion. In today’s episode, we’re diving into this tender subject with compassion and biblical truth. Whether you’ve personally walked through this, or you simply want to better understand and support someone who has, this conversation will help you approach the topic through a Christian lens—where grace, truth, and healing meet.
 
In this episode, Brittany shares:Why we can’t keep avoiding the topic of late-term abortion, even if it’s rare.What the statistics really mean—and why “only 1%” still matters deeply.The most common reasons women choose abortion later in pregnancy, and how fear and grief often drive those choices.How to walk with women through healing after a late-term abortion—with compassion, truth, and the love of Christ.Why your story is not too much for God to redeem.
 
If you’re healing from a late-term abortion:You are not alone. Jesus sees the pain you’ve carried. He knows the thoughts that torment you at night and the guilt that whispers you’re too far gone. Those are lies from the enemy—and they hold no power over you. Healing is still possible. Forgiveness is available. Freedom is yours in Christ.
 
Your story isn’t over. God’s grace is big enough for this too.

The role of the church in responding with compassion instead of judgment
How God can take our deepest pain and turn it into purpose

Have you ever felt the nudge to share your abortion story, but fear keeps holding you back? Maybe you’ve wondered if the pro-life movement would reject you because of your past. Friend, nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is this: your voice matters deeply—and now, more than ever, the movement needs it.
In today’s episode, I share my recent experience speaking at the opening ceremony of 40 Days for Life right outside an abortion clinic in my community. God asked me to step into a place of obedience, not only to encourage sidewalk advocates but also to minister to the very people walking into the clinic. It wasn’t easy, and fear tried to silence me—especially after the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, which reminded me just how real the spiritual battle in this world truly is. But God’s Word reminded me that as believers, we’re not called to retreat—we’re called to storm the gates of hell, because they will not prevail.
You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes of what it was like to say “yes” to sharing my story, the spiritual warfare that surrounded the event, and the unexpected ripple effects that happened afterward—even within my own church. Then, I’ll walk you through three powerful reasons why your post-abortive voice is absolutely needed in the pro-life movement. 
If you’ve ever thought, “I want to share my story, but I don’t know how,” or “I’m not ready yet,” I pray this episode encourages you to bring that hesitation to the Lord. Sharing your story may look different for each of us—public speaking, one-on-one conversations, or quiet obedience in your community—but if God is prompting you, He will equip you.
You are not disqualified. You are called. And your voice can be the very thing God uses to change lives.
