Faith Life Family Episode 7
with Guest Leslie Davis Blackwell (richmond@silentnomore.com)

“Do not be Afraid. Go on speaking, and Do Not Be Silent, for I am with you …” (Acts 18:9)

Missy (https://www.faithlifefamilywear.com) began this Episode by introducing Leslie (https://www.silentnomore.com/richmond) and in turn Leslie gave her background information. She is the VA Co-Coordinator of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign. #silentnomore She is also the Organizer of the VA #ProtestPP.

Leslie, a former Radio & TV Personality, began explaining her reversion to the Catholic Faith. She continues to struggle with her faith journey, as we do each day. Her current love affair with Jesus is wonderful! #ILoveJesus

This wonderfulness was not always the case. In college, she lived the life of a “wild” college student. Alcohol, Drugs, Pre-Marital Sex etc. Leslie was even humble enough to share that she had 2 abortions in the early stages of her life. She also stated that in the height of her professional career, she was a Pro-Choice Zealot and a Planned Parenthood Board Member. Her family life was in an uproar and was practicing self sabotaging behavior. Her St. Paul Moment was when she lost her Dad. It was devastating! This suffering resulted in 4 months of self sequester. #savemysoul

She thought that a move from North Carolina to Richmond would assist her in “getting out of this rut”. But she still ventured into what she knew, alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, and looking into other Faiths while working at “high” profile job, “Good Morning” Richmond. #rockbottom

Finally, with marrying the man of her dreams, becoming a mother with the birth of her son and daughter, the assistance of her Aunt Betty, she completed her reversion back to the Catholic Church. Oh by the way, Jesus helped in this reversion! #houndfromheaven #thetruthwillsetyoufree

As a footnote, Aunt Betty had “deep” faith in the Catholic Church. She was a Mom twelve times, so definitely a women with great Family experience. This experience along with one-on-one talks with Leslie, surely “finalized” this reversion. #thegreatauntbetty

Lastly, a video (no audio) was played showing Leslie in front of the U.S. Supreme Court speaking during the National March for Life. #marchforlife
