A lighthearted catch‑up turns into a turning point: Amber Sampson sits down with our podcast host, Kim, as she opens up about a steady childhood, a lonely adolescence, and the day fear drove her to an abortion clinic—where she heard a sentence that changed everything: “Leave this place and I will take care of you.” What follows is a tender, unfiltered testimony about God meeting people in dark rooms, a family choosing grace over shame, and a friendship that grows into a marriage shaped by prayer and patience.
We walk through the inner battle of lies about identity and acceptance, the pressure to hide, and the stunning moment that reframed Kim’s life and her daughter’s. You’ll hear how a praying aunt, shocked but supportive parents, and a humble act of adoption created a new story for their home. Kim doesn’t gloss over the hard parts: spiritual drift inside church routines, anger that didn’t fit her husband, Everett’s, gentle nature, and the heavy feeling that she was the problem. The shift arrives when Everett attends a Promise Keepers event, returns repentant, and starts praying over their family—every single night. That simple practice becomes a backbone of peace and a roadmap for restoration.
If you’re searching for faith-filled encouragement on abortion recovery, hearing God, rebuilding marriage, adoption, or learning how to pray together, this conversation offers hope without hype. It’s honest, specific, and practical—naming the lies, honoring grace, and showing how surrender is different from attendance. Stay to the end for a preview of part two as we continue Kim’s story of redemption and resilience in the next episode.
