The pro-life movement just got a challenge from inside the church: what if the future isn't only about changing laws, but about changing hearts? In this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Amy Ford, founder and president of Embrace Grace, the nonprofit that equips churches to support women facing unexpected pregnancies. Amy opens up about her own unplanned pregnancy at 19 — how she scheduled an abortion, passed out in the clinic, and was sent home still pregnant — and how that near-miss became the seed of a ministry now active in more than 1,200 churches across all 50 states.Amy and Jenny Beth dig into why so many women in the pews stay silent, why the abortion rate inside the church mirrors the rate outside it, and how the rise of the mail-order abortion pill is leaving a new generation of young women carrying hidden trauma. Amy makes the case for a "pro-love" movement — making abortion unthinkable, not just illegal — by turning local churches into the first place a frightened mom runs to instead of the last.You'll hear the story of a pastor who refused to bless Amy's marriage and later asked her teenage son for forgiveness in front of the whole congregation, plus practical next steps for anyone who wants to start an Embrace Grace group, become a "church buddy," or mentor a mom. A hopeful, deeply personal conversation about grace, forgiveness, and the church's role in choosing life.Learn more at jennybethshow.com and teapartypatriots.org.
