In December of 2020, I heard the testimony of a woman who had had an abortion when she was a teenager. Her story opened my eyes to the pain, condemnation, and shame that so many people who are like her feel. As I sat there, I felt God asking me to write a song of hope and healing for men and women who are post abortive and to then create a dance video to accompany the song. Since abortion is not something that has been a part of my story, I spent the next months looking for and interviewing women who are post abortive. I was honored to hear the stories of 6 brave women who pulled back the curtain on a painful season of their life, giving me the understanding needed to write this song.

My prayer for this project is that those who are positive abortive will find hope and healing in the arms of Jesus and that they would know that Jesus’ blood is enough to cover all sin, including abortion. My prayer is also that this would encourage those who are pro-life to equally fight for the life and healing of the mothers and fathers of the aborted as they fight for the life of the unborn. God cares just as much about the those who have abortions as He cares about those who are aborted.

If you have had an abortion, THERE IS HOPE. God has never stopped loving you and has never turned His back on you. Your sin does not disqualify you from forgiveness. Jesus knew every choice that you would ever make, and He still died in your place, bearing all your sin on His shoulders. And as someone who is in church leadership, I want to ask for your forgiveness for any way that the church has ever hurt you, made you feel that God’s blood was not enough for your sin, or that you were unwanted. We need you, want you, and would be honored to fight alongside you for your healing.
