My Abortion Wasn't the End of My Story, Jesus Redeemed My Darkest Decision

This week on the Her and Jesus Podcast, Isabel is joined by her dear friend Veronica for one of the most honest and vulnerable conversations we've ever had. Together, they talk about brokenness, abortion, shame, forgiveness, and the life-changing redemption that is only found in Jesus.Veronica shares how years of believing lies led her down a path of pain, addiction, and an abortion at just 15 years old. For years, she believed God had forgiven her, but she struggled to forgive herself. Through an unexpected healing journey, Jesus gently revealed the places in her heart that still needed healing and reminded her that His grace reaches even our deepest wounds.Together, Isabel and Veronica also discuss what it means to truly know Jesus, walk in obedience, find freedom from shame, and discover that no past is too broken for God to redeem.In this episode:00:00 Intro & Meet Veronica02:40 Veronica's Life Before Jesus08:18 Leaving Everything to Follow God10:47 Believing in God vs. Truly Knowing Jesus13:20 Jesus Can Break Every Addiction & Stronghold18:40 Veronica Shares Her Abortion Story24:05 Post-Abortion Trauma & Finding Healing32:40 Grieving a Child & God's Redemption38:50 Learning to Forgive Yourself44:25 What Does It Really Mean to Know Jesus?50:10 How Do You Hear God's Voice?56:10 Choosing Obedience Over SuccessWhether you're carrying shame from your past or wondering if God could ever redeem your story, this conversation is a reminder that His grace is greater, His mercy is deeper, and His love never stops pursuing us.Resources: Healing Bible Study: https://surrenderingthesecret.com/Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0800796616?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
