323 | What to Do When a Church Sermon Triggers Your Abortion Grief

Have you ever been sitting in church, minding your own business, when your pastor says one sentence and suddenly you're drowning in guilt and shame? If a sermon has ever knocked the wind out of you and sent you spiraling for the rest of the day — or even into the next week — you're not alone. This week, we're talking about what to do when Sunday's sermon triggers your post-abortion grief, so you can keep moving forward in your healing instead of backsliding into shame. I get vulnerable about a time I sat in church feeling completely ashamed — even though abortion was never mentioned — and what that moment taught me about the difference between conviction and being triggered. We'll walk through two questions to ask yourself the next time this happens, and I'll teach you how to tell the difference between godly conviction and an old wound being triggered — plus how to move forward biblically instead of taking steps backward. Get ready, because this one will change how you sit in church.   ✨ Join us for the Abortion Recovery Workshop on 9/9 at 7pm CT This free live workshop is where we go even deeper into healing after abortion — come with your questions and leave with real next steps. 👉 https://brittanypoppe.com/workshop   ✨ Support the Podcast Do you love our content and want to support our ministry?
