I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

No sin is beyond the grace and forgiveness of God, even the sin of abortion. True forgiveness, hope, and healing can only be found, but it is only found in Jesus Christ. @mferrell

I’m sharing a topic that was hard for me to work through today; my abortion testimony. I’ve shared it many years ago on my blog and had a radio interview on Haven Today with Charles Morris but I’ve not shared it here on the podcast yet. 

This year in our church at Sanctity of Life Sunday my Pastor asked me to share my testimony with our church family and after sharing it publicly in my church I’m feeling a bit more prepared to share here with you today.

I’m thankful to be part of a church family who is very active at being a voice for the voiceless outside the abortion mills here in Milwaukee.

My testimony comes from one who remembers what it was like to be unsaved and seeking an abortion and now coming from the other side of being born again, a new creation in Christ and understanding the beauty of forgiveness and redemption in Christ. So let me just begin:

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful testimony of GOD’S LOVE, forgiveness and redemptive power. It takes a lot of courage to share such a painful story of an abortion. I have a sister and niece that have had an abortion. Please pray with me for their salvation, Elizabeth 52 years old and Erica 22 years old.
    So glad to have found your podcast!
    Thank you! ????
