  • 240 | I Was a Christian When I Had My Abortion—Can God Still Forgive Me?

    If you were a Christian when you had your abortion and wonder if God can still forgive you, this episode is for you. Many women feel stuck in shame because they “knew better” and think their faith makes their choice unforgivable. I’m here to tell you: God’s forgiveness is greater than any mistake, and grace is available to you today.

     

    In this episode, I share my own story of abortion as a believer, how that struggle affected my faith, and three powerful biblical examples of faithful people who sinned but were fully forgiven by God: David, Peter, and the Prodigal Son.

     

    What you’ll learn:

    • Why feeling unforgivable is a lie from shame, not God
    • How God’s forgiveness extends even to those who “knew better”
    • Real examples of God’s mercy in Scripture for faithful sinners
    • How to take your next step toward healing and grace

      • 238 | Is Abortion the Only Way Out? 3 Things to Know Before You Choose

        You’re staring at a positive pregnancy test, and it feels like the walls are closing in. You’re scared, confused, overwhelmed—and maybe abortion feels like the only option left.

         

        Before you make that decision, I want to gently share 3 powerful truths with you—things I wish someone had told me when I was 17 and feeling exactly the same way.

        Grab some tissues, lean in close, and let me walk with you.

         

        What you’ll learn:

        💔 Why abortion doesn’t erase the pain—only amplifies it

        • 237 | How God Brings Purpose Out of Pain | Special Guest, Hannah Hughes

          Have you ever wondered if your pain disqualifies you from purpose?

          In this powerful conversation, Brittany sits down with The By Words Show host Hannah Hughes—a fellow podcaster, writer, and woman of deep faith—to talk about the healing journey, the courage it takes to share your story, and what it really means to trust God in the "middle moments" of life.

           

          Hannah opens up about her experience growing up in a Christian culture where she thought she had to hide her mental health struggles—including an eating disorder, suicidal thoughts, and later, sexual abuse. With honesty and grace, she shares how God met her in her brokenness, how therapy and community helped her begin to heal, and why she believes our testimonies carry the power to overcome (Revelation 12:11).

           

          This episode is a reminder that:

          ✨ You can love Jesus and struggle with your mental health.
          ✨ You’re not alone in your grief, confusion, or exhaustion.
          ✨ God isn’t waiting for you to “get it together” before He moves—He’s right here, in the middle of it.

           

          Whether you’ve walked through trauma or struggle, or just feel weary from the weight of it all—this conversation will speak to your soul.

           

          In this episode, we talk about:

          • The pain of hidden struggles and how shame silences healing
          • Hannah’s journey through suicide ideation, sexual abuse, and miscarriage
          • Why surrender doesn’t mean weakness—it’s actually the doorway to God’s strength
          • How God uses ordinary moments to do extraordinary things
          • The power of sharing your story and speaking truth out loud

          • 236 | Is Abortion Regret Preventing You From Hearing God’s Voice? 7 Ways God Could Be Speaking to You

              • 234 | Guilt vs. Shame After Abortion—What’s the Difference?

                Have you ever found yourself weighed down by shame and thought it was just guilt? Or maybe you’ve believed you have to carry both forever because of your abortion? You're not alone—and you're not stuck. In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the difference between guilt and shame, how they feed each other, and how God’s truth offers a way out. You’ll learn why guilt might not be all bad, how shame can silently sabotage your healing, and most importantly—how both can be healed through Christ.

                • The key differences between guilt and shame

                  Is OCD really just about cleanliness and perfectionism? In this eye-opening episode, Brittany sits down with licensed professional counselor and podcast host Carrie Bock to unpack the truth about OCD, trauma, and the Church’s role in the healing process. Carrie shares her personal and professional journey from working as a licensed professional counselor to leading intensive therapy sessions for trauma and OCD, especially for Christian women.

                  You’ll learn about common OCD themes—like scrupulosity and the fear of being unforgiven—and how trauma can act like gasoline on the OCD fire. Carrie offers compassionate insights into why some post-abortive women struggle with deep shame and compulsive behaviors, and why God’s healing grace is essential.

                  Whether you’re navigating your own trauma, unsure if your thoughts are connected to OCD, or supporting someone you love, this episode will leave you with clarity, hope, and a next step toward healing.

                   

                  In this episode, we cover:

                  • How OCD shows up in spiritual life and trauma recovery

                  • The impact of childhood abuse on behavior and shame
