This is the most difficult testimony I’ve ever shared. For a long time, I kept this part of my story hidden. Not because I had forgotten it, but because it was painful, shameful, and something I never wanted to relive. But recently I asked the Lord to reveal the areas of my life where I wasn’t reflecting Christ and where I wasn’t being a faithful servant. One conviction He placed on my heart was this: Stop being silent about the things you know are against biblical truth. I’ve spent too much time remaining quiet when I should have been speaking. Too often, I’ve watched our culture celebrate things that God calls sin, and I stayed silent because it was easier, because I didn’t want to offend people, or because I was afraid of losing relationships. I’m done with that. I love Jesus Christ. He is my Lord and Savior. My greatest desire is to proclaim the Gospel, stand on the truth of God’s Word, and see as many people as possible come to salvation through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If the Holy Spirit is leading me to share this testimony, then I trust He intends for someone to hear it. In this episode, I share the story of my two abortions, how Jesus transformed my heart. I also share how reading Jeremiah 1:5 and Psalm 139 completely changed the way I viewed life in the womb. “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee…” (Jeremiah 1:5) “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.” (Psalm 139:13) Those verses reminded me that every child is known by God, created by God, and given purpose by God before they ever take their first breath. One passage that also completely changed the way I read Scripture was Ruth chapter 3. For years I read it as the story of Ruth and Boaz. This time, I saw something much greater. I saw Boaz as a picture of Christ—our Kinsman Redeemer. Ruth came to Boaz humbly. She laid herself at his feet, acknowledging her need. Instead of rejecting her, he covered her, protected her, redeemed her, and gave her a future. That is exactly what Jesus Christ has done for me. I came to Him carrying guilt, shame, grief, and the weight of my sin. I laid everything at His feet, and instead of condemning me, He covered me with His mercy, forgave me, redeemed me, and made me new. That is the Gospel. This episode is not about condemnation. It is about redemption. It is about the mercy of Jesus Christ toward sinners who repent and come to Him in humility. I also speak about something that deeply grieves me. In America, it is a crime to destroy the egg of a protected bald eagle, yet our culture tells young women that ending the life of their own unborn child is something empowering, compassionate, and worthy of celebration. We call it “choice.” I cannot reconcile that with the Word of God. The Bible warns that a day would come when people would call evil good and good evil. I believe we are witnessing that before our very eyes. If standing on biblical truth costs me friendships, opportunities, or the approval of the world, then so be it. I would rather be faithful to Christ than celebrated by culture. My prayer is not that this post wins an argument. My prayer is that it plants a seed. Maybe you’re carrying shame from an abortion. Maybe you’re considering one. Maybe you’ve never heard that there is forgiveness waiting for you. Please know this: There is room at the feet of Jesus. The same Redeemer who covered Ruth is the same Redeemer who covered me. He still forgives. He still restores. He still redeems. And He will never turn away anyone who comes to Him in repentance and faith. To God alone be the glory. ❤️✝️ #TestimonyService #JesusChrist #BiblicalTruth #ProLife #ChristianTestimony #Gospel #Redeemed #Mercy #Grace #Jeremiah15 #Psalm139 #BookOfRuth #Boaz #KinsmanRedeemer #JesusSaves #RepentAndBelieve This is a public episode.
