Real Life with Ruth McDe

Steve Galindo has had to forgive a few people in his lifetime. He knows about hurt and he knows about forgiveness - he even wrote a book about it! He talks about a tough childhood and how he forgave his father, and others, and how through inner healing he became totally free from the hurt, pain and memories of his past. He walks us through, step by step, how we can all experience the same freedom no matter what we have done or what was done to us. Unforgiveness is potent, forgiveness is way more powerful.

Do you struggle with your identity? Who you are, why you’re here, where you’re going. DaRon Maughon grew up finding his value in performing, being the life of the (church) party, being ‘on’ all the time so he could feel valued and accepted and loved. But, when the applause and accolades stopped, he had to go to God to find his true worth and learn that it’s not his latest song or performance that makes him of value. That changed everything!

Today on our episode I sit down with Linda Keener Thompson. Linda was an honor student and a good church kid but when she went off to college, her life changed quickly. She got pregnant at 19, had a 2nd trimester abortion and ended up living on the streets, doing drugs. It wasn’t until she came to terms with her abortion and had some hard conversations with God that her life began to turn around. Since that time she has walked many women through the same healing. She is a cofounder of Pregnancy Centers of Middle Tennessee, Columbia and Pregnancy Centers of Middle Tennessee, Thompson's Station, Board Member at Memorial for the Unborn and leads Set Free Bible Studies in person and online. Please share this with your girlfriends since, according to the CDC, there are well over 1/2 a million abortions in the USA alone, every year. You probably know several women who have had abortions and are desperate to find peace and healing - but you most likely don’t even know it. We hope you enjoy this amazing talk with Linda.
