This episode dives into the reality of what it feels like when your husband encounters God in a life-changing way... and you don't. When he's growing, changing, and on fire-and you're battling mental health, and the pressure to keep up.

Lie #1 in Allie Beth Stuckey's book, Toxic Empathy, is Abortion is healthcare.So we dive deep into the history of abortion, via Margaret Sanger, and the history of abortion in Canada. We ask the questions: how did we get here? and: how do we make abortion illegal? At the end, we share the undeniable grace of God for anyone who has had an abortion. Our goal for this episode is not to condemn anyone, but rather, to shine a light on the darkness that is abortion in Canada. We knew nothing of the evil and horror that was happening all around us. Our hope and prayer, that as you hear this, it'd light a fire within you to share about this topic with others, and join forces to put an end to abortion.This episode provides an immense amount of information, but it is not exhaustive. Some links: Seth Gruber video mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q3ojakFRLEWhat the Canadian Government says about abortion: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/sexual-health/abortion-canada.htmlStatistics on abortion: https://www.arcc-cdac.ca/media/2020/07/statistics-abortion-in-canada.pdfHistory on abortion: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/abortionCanadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/abortionArticle mentioned at 31 minutes: https://publications.gc.ca/Collection-R/LoPBdP/CIR/8910-e.htmEvangelical Fellowship of Canada: https://files.evangelicalfellowship.ca/si/Abortion/AbortionFunding,Final,Nov2012.pdfToxic Empathy book: https://www.amazon.ca/Toxic-Empathy-Progressives-Christian-Compassion/dp/0593541944

This is a heavy episode about our personal experiences with grief. In every season of grief, death, loss of a relationship, or loss of any kind, there is a death of a dream.

This is my testimony (Sahra). I pray this would ultimately glorify God and give insight into what he saved me from. While I no longer like disclaimers, one thing I would like to say, I do not tell my story of Isaac and I's relationship as an example to follow. This is not me advising anyone in a relationship where one person is saved and the other isn't, to wait it out. Please, be persistent in God's Word. Seek what He says. He does not speak anything that contradicts His Word. As hard as it is to hear, leave the dating relationship. Even if you are engaged and one person is not saved, do not use my story as an example. Do not think because it worked out in my story, that God always works it out in a similar way. If you are reading this and find yourself in a similar situation, I will pray for you. That you will clearly feel God's strength and grace guiding you. If you liked this episode and know of anyone you'd like to recommend please email me at [email protected] rate and review our podcast!
