Summary

What happens when love meets fear head-on in the midst of an unplanned pregnancy? Today, Amy Ford, from the ministry "Embrace Grace" is here to share her own personal testimony and how God is moving through local churches to love on women. Amy’s own story of an unexpected pregnancy that ends in total redemption is amazing. From that she started Embrace Grace, an organization that provides baby showers, support before and after birth, and a community that goes beyond. Here is some of what we cover: 

  • What “Love Boxes” are and why 30,000+ were given out last year
  • The powerful symbolism of Hagar, the first single mom in the Bible, who encountered the God who sees
  • A support group for fathers called Embrace Legacy and the vital role they play
  • The vision of being in 23,400 churches by 2050 
  • How your church can become a place of welcome and grace for single moms and dads

I'm your host, Heather McFadion, and this is the place where I get to walk alongside you

and connect you with people and resources so you know that you don't mom alone.

In this episode number 542, I'm welcoming to the show

0:23.4

Amy Ford of Embrace Grace. And I also wanted to give you an earbud warning. If you have little

0:28.7

ones around you, we cover some adult content. Going through all of that really made me realize

0:35.5

like how much power that the church has. Like, when I had found out

0:39.3

I was pregnant, yes, I didn't really have a relationship with the Lord, but I was attending a church

0:42.7

regularly. Why did I not feel like the church was a safe place to go to for prayer, wisdom,

0:48.5

guidance, counsel, you know, whatever that might be. Why was it the last place I went to? You know, I went

straight to the abortion clinic. I'm so honored that Amy would come on the podcast and share

And I also am so thrilled that it's something we can partner with, whether you bring

Embrace Grace into your church or you pack a love box, which stick around at the end of

1:26.5

the episode. I'm hoping to put something together for our don't mom alone community.

1:31.2

I also love that they've relaunched their podcast, help her be brave.

1:36.1

And I just also want to say right here, if unplanned pregnancy was part of your story, and maybe unlike Amy, you walked through an

1:47.9

abortion. I have included in the show notes an episode I did a long, long time ago with my

1:53.4

friend Stacey Reeves about her journey of restoration. And I just saw on Instagram a couple

weeks ago Hannah Kirkman sharing her own journey
