Sharing My Testimony//Overcoming Sexual Sin, Shame, and Embracing God's Mercy
Happy Memorial Day Monday! I wish today's episode was cute and fun, but it's definitely not lol. This episode is one of the most vulnerable I’ve ever recorded because it's the story of my life.
After leaving a long-term relationship, I found myself ultimately getting pregnant just 2 months into meeting my now husband. Though that chapter of my life now includes love, marriage, and a beautiful baby boy, it also brought deep guilt, shame, and questions I wasn't prepared to face.
In today's episode, I'm sharing how I wrestled with the weight of sexual sin, how shame tried to steal my joy, and what it's looked like to truly repent and allow God to restore me. I reflect on the dangers of taking your life into your own hands and the struggle to forgive yourself while also believing that God forgives you too.
All in all, I want this episode to be a reminder that you are not defined by your past. There is redemption on the other side of repentance. And God still writes beautiful stories from broken pieces. I pray this episode reminds you that grace still reaches for you - even in your mistakes.
