Many Christian women, including leaders, have had an abortion. Some before they met Christ, while others had theirs after becoming a believer. The shame of having an abortion can quietly eat away at our intimacy with the Lord and others. Francheska and I have an honest conversation about her abortion and the journey of healing the Lord took her through. She captured this journey in her vulnerable book, Be Loved, Beloved.    Francheska Bezares grew up in Humboldt Park and has lived in Chicago all her life. She is a former CPS educator and community activist. Now a single mother to two sweet girls, the author of Be Loved, Beloved. She is a photographer and designer for JORIE.CO, and an aspiring entrepreneur. Jesus pursued Francheska at 15 years old, was saved shortly after, and has been following Him imperfectly but faithfully ever since.    Get connected with  Francheska:  Website: https://www.francheskasoffering.com/ Instagram:  francheska.bezares  YouTube: ‪@FrancheskasOffering‬  Email: [email protected]   Resources mentioned:  My Husband's Abortion Story   Want to contact me?  Follow me on Instagram and YouTube Email me at [email protected] Visit me at https://www.unashamedandfree.com/
