Leaders will learn how to guide women in embracing God’s unfailing love, breaking free from fear and shame, and walking in the freedom and joy of full redemption. inviting women to step into the redemptive love of God. Using Psalm 130:7 as a foundation—“Put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and full redemption”—we will explore how God’s love is not partial, conditional, or shame-based.

This session will speak directly to the fear and shame that keep many post-abortive women in silence. We’ll address how fear robs joy and how God’s perfect love casts it out. Participants will be encouraged to release the false labels they’ve carried and to stop letting the abortion be the lens through which they view their lives. God’s love does not merely cover your past—it redefines your future. When women embrace that truth, they are empowered to share boldly, live freely, and love fully.
