"God was the one that saved my son. It was Him. It was God. He was meant to live. He was made for a purpose." Join us for a powerful and deeply personal conversation with Paula Diaz as she shares her courageous journey of choosing life amidst overwhelming circumstances. From her upbringing in Colombia to facing profound struggles as an immigrant teenager in North America, Paula's story is a testament to the grace and mercy of God.

Our discussion explores:

• Paula's childhood experience in Colombia, including the impact of the Catholic Renewal Movement
• The emotional turmoil of immigrating to a new country as a young teen and the profound sense of loss and isolation that followed
• Navigating adolescence without strong parental support and the quest for unconditional love
• The consequences of teenage rebellion, the search for belonging, and the destructive paths it can lead to
• Paula's unexpected pregnancy at age 17 and the intense pressure to have an abortion
• The critical turning point when she reached out for prayer, sparking a profound intervention from a compassionate youth minister
• Paula's courageous decision to choose life, moving to Canada, and the powerful ways God protected and provided for her
• The support systems and resources available for women facing unplanned pregnancies, including Paula's personal recommendation of the Sisters of Life

Paula's journey is a vivid reminder that even in the most challenging and seemingly hopeless situations, God's love and grace can transform lives and create beauty from brokenness. Her testimony encourages anyone facing difficult decisions to trust in God's providence and reminds all of us to extend love and support to those who most need it.
