    Ep. 59: Freedom through Forgiveness

    In this podcast, I share a powerful story of forgiveness given from two perspectives. One from one of our team leaders Rick who lost his son Kevin in a car accident years ago. The other is from Bob who you heard in the intro. His daughter is the one who caused the accident. As we in the United States reflect on the freedom we have been given, this story reminded me that there is no more powerful freedom that Christ gives us than forgiving others. I personally have been impacted by hearing this story as it gives you the same hope that no matter what injustice happens in our life Jesus can give us the grace to both forgive and receive forgiveness.

    In this live-recorded episode, Beth Schuele interviews Janine Marrone, president of the nonprofit Support After Abortion.  Support after abortion exists to see the world restored from the impact of abortion. Their mission is to build and strengthen abortion healing worldwide. This started because Janine was shocked as she listened to the speaker’s testimony about the emotional pain of her abortion experience. For the first time ever, Janine realized there were millions hurting from abortion across the world, and it wasn’t just the preborn baby- it was the mother, father, grandparents, sisters, friends, neighbors, clergy, etc. This episode is for those who want to better understand how to be a bridge to Christ and the Church for those who have suffered such a great loss.
