Hannah's Heart

As we wrap us our Bibles for Babies campaign, Teresa Seelen and Carly Holmes of Parkgate Pregnancy Center give tax tips for those wanting to support pregnancy centers.

Anne welcomes Pastor David Thompson, Father's Advocate of Parkgate Pregnancy Center, to the show to talk about unplanned pregnancy from a father's perspective.

The Bibles for Babies campaign continues as a fundraiser for Parkgate Pregnancy Center and a way to remember and honor Anne's baby, John Micah Cockrell, who lived on earth only 26 minutes. LeAnna Prestage tells her story. She was a mother at 17 and chose life for her baby, who is now 23 years old. Living through that experience has uniquely qualified LeAnna as a Client Advocate with Parkgate. To participate in the Bibles for Babies Campaign, visit AFR.net/BiblesforBabies

Anne and Kendra talk more about the Bibles for Babies campaign, its origin, its purpose and the fact that it benefits Parkgate Pregnancy Center. And then Parkgate teachers, Elaine Bunn and Tina Vance, talk about what they do in classes for mothers of toddlers.

In this tender and honest conversation, Amy shares her personal story of having an abortion years ago and the regret and healing that followed. Today, that experience has become part of her ministry as she teaches Surrendering the Secret, a Bible-based post-abortive support class through Parkgate Pregnancy Center, helping women find freedom, forgiveness, and hope in Christ.

We talk about the weight of regret, the lies of shame, and the beautiful truth that God’s grace is sufficient—even for the parts of our stories we wish we could change. Amy reminds us that our past does not disqualify us from being used by God, and that redemption is possible through Jesus.

We also share about the beginning of our Bibles for Babies campaign, an opportunity to place God’s Word into the hands of families and share the hope of Jesus from the very beginning.

A conversation about regret, surrender, grace, and the God who redeems.

“How can God be good and allow the wicked to flourish?” thought Wanda as she sat alone in a friend’s basement on her 30th birthday. Not only had her husband broken their sacred wedding vow, but he openly mocked her while celebrating his new life with another woman and a baby on the way. This was not at all where she thought she’d be by age 30. But God met her in her brokenness and revealed His life giving truth in a powerful way!

Description: Anne and Kendra share about their most recent Hannah’s Heart Hangout—a sweet time with women who are now walking through different seasons of life. Some are recently walking through loss, while others have experienced the joy of adoption and are now finally expecting. Together, they talk about what it looks like to hold joy and grief at the same time and trust the Lord through it all.

Kendra shares what the Lord has recently been teaching her about contentment and what the word “content” actually means in Scripture. As she studied it more deeply, she realized its meaning wasn’t quite what she expected.

Anne shares a personal story of how, after saying for years that she was “content,” the Lord met her one day while doing laundry and gently revealed that her heart wasn’t as content as she thought.

It’s an honest and encouraging conversation about grief, joy, contentment, and learning to trust the Lord right where He has you.

Receiving a prenatal diagnosis of spina bifida can leave parents facing overwhelming uncertainty, difficult decisions, and countless unknowns. In this episode, we sit down with Joy Duncan, who courageously shares her family’s journey—from the devastating diagnosis and fetal surgery during pregnancy to months of bed rest, a C-section delivery, a NICU stay, and the ongoing road of recovery.

She opens up about the fears that accompanied every step, the success of the prenatal surgery that repaired the portion of Baby Andy’s spine doctors were most concerned about. We talk about the challenges that followed, including treatment for clubbed feet and the reality that healing can be a very long and lonely journey.

Most importantly, this is a story of God’s faithfulness. Through every appointment, every setback, every prayer, and every unknown, the Lord provided the strength, peace, and hope they needed for each day. If you are navigating a difficult pregnancy, carrying a prenatal diagnosis, or simply need encouragement to trust God when life doesn’t go as planned, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that He walks with us through every valley.

Join us as we talk honestly about fear, faith, perseverance, and the God who remains steadfast through it all.
