SHE with Jordan Lee Dooley

The Church, Women, and Unplanned Pregnancies (Ft. Amy Ford)


Listen Later

So many women who face unplanned pregnancies feel like the church is the last place they can go to for help, whether they are afraid of being judged or they feel there will be no support for them. 

While the church may be pro-life and has the power to have a huge impact, there has too often been a lack of practical, spiritual, and emotional support for abortion-vulnerable women. 

As today’s guest says, “Pro-life is a stance. Pro-love is an action.”

So how can we as the church empower women with unplanned pregnancies? How can we give real help that allows them to choose life? 

That’s what Jordan and podcast guest Amy Ford talk about in this episode.

Amy is the CEO of Embrace Grace, a ministry dedicated to equipping the church to provide support to women experiencing unexpected pregnancies.

Tune in to learn: 

  • Amy’s personal story of facing an unplanned pregnancy and experiencing church hurt
  • The difference between pro-life and pro-love and why our response needs to be more than a political vote
  • What abortion statistics can teach us about how to support women walking through unplanned pregnancies
  • The importance of reshaping our view of birth moms and abortion-vulnerable women
  • How we can do a better job of supporting women on a practical, spiritual, and emotional level
