Broken to Beautiful
I ran into my friend Gwen Smith @ Starbucks this morning as I often do. My wife, Cassandra first told me about Gwen last year when she heard her sing at a local conference she went to. Cass said, you’ve got to hear her. Then by God’s providence I met her with my friend Mike Landrum @ Starbucks in the Northlake area of Charlotte. Gwen has a contagious personality and I run into her quite often.
She has just written a book that will be out this summer called Broken to Beautiful. The 700 Club just interviewed her and Brad, her husband. You can watch it below. They were both Christians and were living double lives. They were college athletes involved in a campus Bible study and having sex outside of marriage. Then the unthinkable happened–Gwen got pregnant. That wasn’t suppose to happen to Christians–right? They were scared and Gwen decided to have an abortion. This went against both of their beliefs. They eventually got married and started a family. They were both involved in church –then God rocked Gwens world and told her to share her story.
It is a powerful story of God’s Grace. I encourage you to watch and buy her book when it comes out.
Sorry I can’t embed the video. You will have to watch it here.
