Years ago, teenager Amy Ford showed up at an abortion clinic with every intention of ending her pregnancy. But through an unexpected turn of events, she ended up keeping her baby AND encouraging thousands of other girls and women to do the same. In this interview with Adira, Amy revisits the emotional rollercoaster of her unplanned pregnancy, which was made even harder by the church’s propensity toward shame. In addition to unpacking the consequences of this shame, Amy and Adira discuss common misconceptions about the Gospel (heart transformation > behavior modification), social media fakeness, feminism, and what God’s Word ACTUALLY has to say about purity.
