Hi, I'm Leslie Ludi, host of the Set-A-Part podcast, biblical encouragement for women of all ages.

Today I want to hit on a topic that is very close to my heart

and it is gaining God's heart for the unborn.

And I'd like to share a personal story with you that really accentuated this message

in my life in a very deep and powerful way a number of years ago.

Before I tell you that story, I wanted to remind you that our print magazine

the Set- Apart magazine is now available four times every year. So this

beautiful print resource has now been revamped and updated to be applicable for women of every age and be delivered

to your door once a season.

So if you're not yet a subscriber, this is just a great resource to go deeper with Jesus and to share the set-apart message with other women in your life.

You can go to set-apartgirl.com to learn more.

We also have an online mentoring program which has over 175 hours of video teaching and lots of other resources

on the practical areas of building a Christ-centered life in modern times.

So I hope you'll check out those resources.

There is a beautiful scripture in Matthew 1814

where Jesus says, it is not the will of your father in heaven

that one of these little ones should perish.

I love that verse because it's such a profound picture of the heart of God towards little

children, towards infants,

towards helpless little lives

that need strong people to stand for them.

It is not the will of your father in heaven
