What happens when God redeems every part of your story—even the chapters marked by shame, regret, and loss?

In this powerful and hope-filled episode, I sit down with Crystal Allen—a Christian entrepreneur, wife, mom of three, and grandmother of seven—who bravely shares her journey of faith, failure, forgiveness, and healing after abortion.

Crystal opens up about her life as a business owner alongside her family, running a home renovation company together for the past three years. But beneath the success story is a deeper testimony—one marked by growing up in a strict religious environment, seasons of rebellion, a difficult early marriage, and a decision that would later weigh heavily on her heart.

Crystal vulnerably shares her experience with abortion, the regret that followed, and how God gently led her through post-abortion healing. Through faith, surrender, and forgiveness, she discovered that her story was not beyond redemption.

This conversation is filled with hope for any woman carrying guilt, shame, or fear after abortion—and for anyone wondering, “Does God really forgive me?”
