Episode # 42 - A Voice for the Voiceless with guest speaker, Toni McFadden

Welcome to the Be Encouraged! Podcast. I am your host Jackie Brindle. You are tuning into episode # 42! In this episode I have one of BE ENCOURAGED podcast firsts. This is the first recording I have ever done - in person!! You are all in for a real treat because I have Toni McFadden who is the founder of the program called, Relationships Matter. In our conversation she says, “Relationships are the only thing that matters in life”. I can see why her passion is to build bridges in life, that forge relationships, that truly matter. Toni has a very unique and powerful story that weaves together very different threads in her life, into something so beautiful!  It literally gives me chills thinking about it! Toni’s story of forgiveness, redemption, and looking onward to healing post abortive brings a message of hope that will take us deep!   Toni is a voice for the voiceless. She speaks passionately about the miracle of life and what that means to her. I read this quote from Preemptive Love Volume 5, “The point of hard conversations is to show up, to hear someone else’s experience and beliefs, and to try to empathize and understand where they are coming from.”  Today, is one of those hard conversations that I think is okay to have. I love that Toni feels so passionately about this movement. It really made me ask myself some hard and convicting questions about my own beliefs. It made me really consider the miracle and value of all life. Perhaps it will encourage you on a deeper level too, as Toni holds nothing back about her faith and her walk with Jesus! It's an incredible story of how He changed her heart and life by the His amazing grace! Let’s dive in --- and let’s go deep --- and BE ENCOURAGED!
