Welcome to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast!
I am your host, Jackie Brindle and you are listening to a repeat episode.
I finished episode 84, last week ---- which was part three of my BE BOLD Series “Be Bold to Speak Life and Truth!”
To follow this up, I felt so led to replay Toni McFadden’s first conversation here on the podcast from a year ago. In fact it was episode 42 which is exactly the half way mark from my last episode!
I love a good play on numbers, don’t you! And it piggy backs the last episode as she is BOLD and courageous to speak life and truth! 
But first, I have to tell you all, Toni and I met a little over a year ago connected and it’s like one of those types of people you instantly connect with.
From the moment I had my first conversation with her, she has been making me laugh, especially with stories about our crazy kids! Toni encourages me to be bold and courageous and ignites my heart to go deeper —  to want to know Jesus more!
It wasn’t until I listened to Toni’s full story on THIS episode, where her truth opened my eyes to what God can do! 
Toni’s character — and her sweet compassion and grace for those who had abortions, like her, and for those who fear the unknowns who are facing unwanted/unplanned pregnancies is so sincere, friends!
Her testimony and knowledge is a powerful one. It is a story to consider listening to and read about in her book called, “REDEEMED, My journey after abortion.” by Toni McFadden (link below) 
No matter where you stand on this topic, today, I prayerfully ask that you open your heart and mind as you listen —- lean in —- and let the story sit with you for a bit.
If it touched your heart, please share! And if you want to hear more conversations with Toni that I had, then I encourage you to check out episode 76, as we chat about parenthood.
Nevertheless, wherever you are today, – grab your cup of coffee, get on your walk or run, or wherever you are and BE ENCOURAGED!
Let’s go!
Jackie
