In this raw and redemptive episode of our new segment From Gossip to Gospel, I sit down with my best friend to talk about the real stuff — getting pregnant at 17, navigating motherhood at a young age, the weight of premarital sex and what God says about it, parenting, sin, grace, and everything in between.

This isn’t a highlight reel — it’s an honest conversation about the mess, the mercy, and the miracle-working power of God. We talk about how shame once held her in bondage, but how God brought healing, peace, and purpose — turning her story into a testimony, bringing her to where she is today.

If you’ve ever carried shame from your choices or wondered if you could overcome your "mess-ups", this episode is a reminder that God uses our trials to prune, purify, and prepare us for something greater and that He always leaves the porch light on for us to come home to Him.
