A Weight Lifted - A Story of Spiritual Healing Post-Abortion :: Erica Spivey :: [Episode 329]

A Weight Lifted - A Story of Spiritual Healing Post-Abortion :: Erica Spivey :: [Episode 329]

*A note on our content. We advise listener discretion as this episode references abortion.

Erica Spivey, from our community group in Raleigh, North Carolina, grew up with a Jewish heritage, thinking her value rested in her actions and accomplishments - an untruth that left her empty, depressed, and ultimately alone when she found herself in the middle of an abortion clinic. But God, in His unconditional love and faithfulness, used her most guilt-ridden and shameful moment to pursue her heart.

Listen in as Erica recounts the ways in which God brought her from religion to relationship and how He is still taking the darkness of her past and using it for redeeming Kingdom purposes.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

- No matter what your past holds, God chose you and appointed you to go and bear His fruit. (John 15:16)

- When you open your heart to God, He will meet you right where you are.

- You were created in God's image and because of that alone, you have worth and value.
