About the Guest: Ines Franklin is a woman who has found freedom in sharing her story. Through her experiences, she has come to understand and appreciate the costly grace that Jesus provided on the cross. Initially, speaking about her past brought her tears and shame, but she was reminded that true grace allows her to live without shame. Now, she transitions from shame to sadness as she acknowledges the consequences of her choices and the hurt they caused to herself and others. However, she no longer carries shame because she has placed it on the cross and given it to Jesus. In sharing her story, Ines shines a light on the grace that God offers to all, and she sees it as a privilege and a chance to give glory to God. She eagerly accepts opportunities to share her story, grateful for the chance to spread the message of God's grace.
