Just Talkin' About Jesus
A place with real people sharing their real faith.
What was the moment when you first realized how real Jesus is?
Tell me about your But God moment.
Have you had moments when you were so low you could only rely on your faith?
What makes you joyful when the rest of the world isn't?
These are a few of the questions that lead my interviews.
Once a month we have a roundtable chat with a few people about a topic.

Amy Miles thought she knew her story: adopted as a premature baby with cerebral palsy by loving Christian parents. But when she decided to search for her birth mother after having her first child, she discovered a truth that would change everything—she had survived a failed abortion at 27-30 weeks gestation.
In this powerful episode, Amy shares her journey from shock and survivor's guilt to forgiveness and purpose. She opens up about:
- The moment she learned she was an abortion survivor
- How she went from being angry at God to leaning on Him more than ever
- Finding community with 750+ other survivors through the Abortion Survivors Network
- Forgiving her birth parents and reaching out to her birth mother
- Why she now advocates for life and shares her story publicly
Amy's testimony is proof that every life has value, regardless of how it begins. God knew her before she was formed, and He had plans for her life from the very beginning.
Key Statistics:
- ~1,734 babies survive failed abortions in the US annually
- 750+ survivors connected through Abortion Survivors Network
- Many states have no protections for babies born alive after abortion
Resources: AbortionSurvivors.org "The Way to My Heart" by Jan (novel based on Amy's story)
Scriptures: Jeremiah 1:5, Zephaniah 3:17, Psalm 139:13-16
If you've been touched by abortion in any way, please know your story matters. There is healing, community, and hope available.
