Can God forgive abortion? Is healing really possible after a decision you can't undo?

In this deeply honest conversation, Judy shares her personal story of abortion, the fear and crisis that led to her decision, the years of grief and shame that followed, and the freedom she ultimately found through the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.

This episode is not about minimizing the reality of abortion. As Christians, we believe every human life is created in the image of God and has immeasurable value. We also believe the gospel is for everyone—including those carrying the weight of past choices. If you've ever wondered whether grace can reach this part of your story, we hope you'll find hope here.

Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of abortion, grief, shame, trauma, and emotional distress. Please use discretion if these topics are especially tender for you.

Whether you've experienced abortion yourself, love someone who has, or simply want to better understand the intersection of truth, compassion, and redemption, we invite you to listen with an open heart.

In this episode of Good Mourning, Julia sits down with Lindsey to share a story that many people have never heard—and one that left her navigating profound grief.

After discovering she was pregnant, Lindsey's joy quickly turned to confusion, fear, and heartbreak when she was diagnosed with a molar pregnancy. In this honest conversation, she shares what that experience was like, the emotional and physical challenges that followed, and how her faith sustained her through a loss that often goes unseen and misunderstood.

If you've experienced pregnancy loss, infertility, or the grief of dreams that suddenly changed, we hope this conversation reminds you that your pain is real, your story matters, and you are not alone.

Grief isn't just something you feel—it changes the way your brain and body respond to the world around you.

In this solo episode, Julia shares her own recent experience of being "hijacked" by grief and anxiety, explaining why our nervous systems often react as though we're in danger long after the crisis has passed. Together, we'll explore what happens when old alarm systems keep firing, why emotional pain can feel so overwhelming, and how healing begins by recognizing what's happening instead of fighting against it.

If you've ever wondered why your reactions seem bigger than the situation in front of you—or why grief continues to surface long after the loss—this conversation is for you.

Healing doesn't happen by pretending the alarms aren't there. It happens by learning that you are finally safe enough to turn them off.

What happens when life brings both unimaginable joy and unimaginable loss?

In Part 2 of Hettie's story, we talk about the beautiful and often complicated journey of adoption, the devastating loss of her parents and two young nieces in a tragic car accident, and the faith that carried her through every season.

Through tears, memories, and hard-earned wisdom, Hettie shares the truth she has come to know over a lifetime of walking with God:

God has never failed me.

If you've ever questioned God's faithfulness in the middle of grief, this conversation is a gentle reminder that His presence is often most evident when the road is hardest.

Join us for a story of loss, hope, resilience, and unwavering faith.

From the time she was a little girl, Hettie dreamed of being a mother. But when infertility became part of her story, she found herself facing questions she never expected to ask and pain she never expected to carry.

In this episode, Hettie shares her journey through longing, disappointment, and the struggle to reconcile her deepest desires with a God who didn't promise the outcome she hoped for. She speaks honestly about drifting from her faith, wrestling with unmet expectations, and ultimately discovering that God's presence remained faithful even in the uncertainty.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that faith is not trusting God only when we get what we want—it's learning to trust Him even when the future is unclear. Whether you've experienced infertility, unanswered prayers, or a season where God felt distant, Hettie's story offers hope, honesty, and encouragement for the journey.

In this deeply personal episode, Julia sits down with her brother Marc for an honest conversation about grief, suffering, healing, faith, and the lifelong questions surrounding the problem of pain.

Together, they explore what it means to keep searching for God in the middle of heartbreak, trauma, loss, and uncertainty — while still holding onto joy. And before the heavier conversation begins, listeners get a glimpse into their sibling dynamic through a compilation of the laughter that filled the room before the interview even officially started.

If Marc’s voice sounds familiar, you may recognize him as the narrator behind the audio version of the Tree of Life Bible.

This episode is vulnerable, thoughtful, funny, emotional, and ultimately hopeful — for anyone who has ever wrestled with grief, faith, or the question: “Why does pain exist at all?”

In this episode of Good Mourning, Mom, Julia sits down with Morgan Shadbolt for one of the most raw and powerful conversations yet.

Together, they talk honestly about trauma, grief, survival, faith, and what it looks like to rebuild a life after everything seems shattered. Morgan opens up about the ways her son’s life—and loss—continues to shape her, the struggles she still faces, and the redemption she never thought was possible.

This episode contains discussions of child abuse, addiction, infant loss, and trauma, but it is ultimately a story about survival, honesty, and hope for those who feel beyond saving.
