Years ago, Portia Collins made a choice that she now regrets deeply.

The day came when she opened up to her mom about that wrong decision,

and rather than being judged, Portia experienced true grace.

My mom's love didn't change for me.

And so my mom was really a vision of what we experienced in Christ.

And I wish I had experienced that as I was making that decision.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Adorned.

For January 22nd, 2026, I'm Dana Gresh.

It was on this day in 1973 that it became legal here in the United States to take the life of an unborn child.

In all 50 states, at any stage of pregnancy.

And even though the Roe versus Wade decision was overturned in 2022, abortion is still readily available. Maybe it's a painful part of your story. Many women have suffered from a guilty conscience because of a past abortion,

and they know there's forgiveness in Jesus. They trust he's paid for their sins, but still, they carry a sense of shame and damage with them

everywhere they go. Our guest today, Portia Collins, understands that. She's experienced it.

We'll hear from her in just a moment. But first, let's hear from Nancy DeMoss-Walgamuth,

unpacking this concept of shame a little bit.

As the Lord would have it, I got a call the other day from a sweet friend of mine who is involved in leading women, women coming out of prison, who've dealt with substance

and addiction issues, all kinds of issues.

The women she's dealing with, get this, and my friend gets it because she's been there.

She talked about having some of the residents. They have one as a woman in her 40s who,

when she was five or six years old, her dad would put her on a table in a room full of men, spin her around,

whichever one she landed on, would get her for the night.

Decades later, still affects that woman's identity.
