The weight of shame, the ache of regret, and the power of mercy.

from Courageous Overcomers · host Tonya Shellnutt

Send a textFor over 30 years, she carried a silent weight—two decisions made in fear, buried deep beneath layers of shame and what-ifs. She never married. Never had children of her own. And for decades, she believed that disqualified her from joy, from purpose, from grace.But then… Jesus.In today’s episode of Courageous Overcomers, you’ll meet a woman whose story reminds us that even the heaviest chains can be broken. Though her past was marked by abortion, grief, and isolation, her present is overflowing with love—she's become a spiritual mother to many, including my own children.Yet even now, questions linger: Who will take care of me when I’m old? Did I forfeit the very things my heart still longs for?This conversation is raw, honest, and full of the kind of hope only redemption can bring. Because the truth is: God doesn’t waste a single part of our story—not even the parts we’d rather hide.Let’s step into the light, together.Support the showStay Connected: Website: https://www.tonyashellnutt.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyashellnutt/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tonyashellnut Twitter: https://x.com/tonyashellnutt Link to 5 day workbook https://www.tonyashellnutt.com/2025-healing-cleanse
