Summary
Jean Marie Davis endured childhood abuse that led to decades of exploitation in drugs and sex trafficking. At 29, she encountered Jesus at a pregnancy resource center. Through that experience, the Lord eventually led her to serve as director of a PRC. Today, Jean Marie is a powerful advocate for the pro-life movement, using her testimony to bring hope and change to others. She joins me today to share her story, which demonstrates the redemptive power of Jesus.
Content Warning: This episode addresses sensitive topics including abuse, prostitution, abortion, and violence.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Strong Women podcast. I'm so glad you're here. My guest today is Gene Marie Davis. |
| 0:07.0 | Gene Marie and I got to sit down face to face because we were both attending the Alliance |
| 0:12.2 | Defending Freedom Summit conference this past summer. And Jean Marie's story is remarkable and |
| 0:20.6 | horrific and redemptive all at the same time. |
| 0:25.1 | And I want to give you all a warning that you do not want little ears around for this conversation. |
| 0:30.7 | I also want to give you a heads up of what to expect in this conversation. |
| 0:35.9 | Jean Marie recounts her story so calmly and just like bullet |
| 0:40.5 | points like this happened, then this happened, then this happened. And the events are horrific. |

| 1:31.1 | gently grabbed her and set her on solid ground, surrounded her with people who love him and love |
| 1:38.5 | her and has also given her purpose in her life. I'm not going to tell any more this story |
| 1:45.0 | because I want you to hear it from her. |
| 1:47.5 | So here we go. Enjoy it. |
| 1:53.4 | Jean-Marie, thank you so much for coming. |
| 1:55.9 | Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. |
