In Part 2 of this deeply personal and healing conversation, Courtney and author/speaker Pat Layton continue their discussion on abortion, shame, and the redemptive work of God. If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, go back and hear both Pat and Courtney share their stories—stories that had been carried in silence for years. In this episode, they talk about what healing actually looks like after abortion, how to know when (and if) it’s time to share your story, and the freedom that comes when we stop striving to “forgive ourselves” and instead surrender our wounds to the only One who can heal them. Whether you’ve experienced abortion personally or love someone who has, this episode is a tender invitation to grace and restoration.
