Linda Mooreโ€™s Story of Hope and Redemption After an Abortion

Jan 11, 2023

It's been over 57 years since I had my first abortion. I was young and scared and didn't know how to tell my family or friends. So, I kept it hidden, a secret burdening my soul. For years, I tried to forget it ever happened. But the guilt and shame always lingered, no matter how much success I achieved in my career or how happy I was raising my daughter. It affected me for 57 years until I finally found the strength to confront what happened head-on. 

The Unthinkable Choice

It all started when I got pregnant at 18 years old. I was in my first year of college and had no ambition or goals. I was young, naïve, and in a relationship with a man who wasn't ready to be a father. My parents both wanted me to have the perfect life. There was no way I could tell them I was pregnant—they would have been devastated. So, I made the decision to have an abortion.

How to Forgive Yourself After an Abortion

Jan 11, 2023

The act of forgiving is one of the most difficult things a person can do. It requires empathy, understanding, and a willingness to see beyond your own pain. It is a process that takes time, effort, and intentionality. But if you are willing to do the work, then forgiveness is possible. And when you finally forgive yourself, you will know it.

Have You Ever Felt Like This?

Jul 26, 2019

When God asks you to do something new, is this how you feel? 

"Oh, I'm safe inside here....do I have to come out of my shell?"

"It's comfortable here, must I leave my current cozy life?"

"I'm not sure God, do you really want me to do that?"

Okay.  I considered it again.

The idea was original and sweet, only something God could come up with.

The station...
