Viable Act II
Viable Act 2
a facilitated healing experience
led by counselors, pastors, or ministry leaders
Viable
is a one-act play that stirs deep and often buried emotions
Viable Act 2
Viable Act II
is a facilitated online or in-person healing experience that helps women and men look behind their own curtains to understand how deeply Viable is already healing them and to act as a bridge to a more formal post-abortion healing class
Abortion leaves a wound that time won't heal.
Wondering how to reach some of the 20 million women and men in the U.S. who need healing from abortion but don't realize it?
Do you suspect that your parishioners or clients are angry at all men or all women because of an abortion in their own past?
Not sure how to help people recognize their need for recovery?
Realization to Restoration
As a counselor, pastor, or ministry leader, you're the hope for reaching women and men scarred by the shame and self-condemnation that often follows abortion
Viable Act II brings awareness of scars covered up for years or decades and ushers women and men into your counseling room where they can begin the healing they don't even know they need
Viable Act 2
Viable Act II
is the bridge from
Viable the play to Your Counseling Room
Viable
Viable brings long hidden emotions to the surface.
After the Show
After the show, people share stories they may have not have otherwise shared.
That's when Creative Christian Media realized the need for a bridge from Viable to post-abortion healing and restoration.
Viable Act II
Viable Act II is that bridge. The segmented videos provide prompts that a counselor, pastor, or lay leader may use to facilitate discussion of feelings that Viable brings to the surface. Using Act II, you provide a safe place for people to talk about their feelings and begin their healing journey.
Your Counseling
After Act II, women and men often seek additional healing programs or counseling.
Viable and Viable Act II are tools that you can take home to your counseling practice or your pastoral office.

As a result of three abortions, I have been tethered to secrets, shame, and guilt for over 50 years. In 2021, I saw Viable online, and it was the catalyst to “unseal the jar” regarding my secrets—it was okay to talk about my abortion experiences. But my feelings were still trapped in my head.
A year later, I had the opportunity to be an observer in the roll out of Viable Act II. This experience “ripped the lid off.” My feelings finally connected with my head. Now my head and my heart were interfacing.
Viable was a very good start, but Viable Act II forced me to get into my feelings. It has led me to seek counseling and continue the healing process within a Christian environment.

Christian Creative Media
Viable is a production of Christian Creative Media, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization based in Greenville, SC. The mission of Christian Creative Media is to provide a creative examination of contemporary social and cultural issues through the lens of a Christian worldview.
In 70 minutes with three actors and two chairs, an unforgettable and cautionary tale will unfold on stage before you—a story of heartbreak and grief. As only God can, He restores the wages of sorrow, shame, and self-condemnation through grace, unmitigated mercy, and forgiveness. He puts condemnation aside in favor of comfort and compassion for a despairing woman who has lost her child to abortion and paid a terrible emotional price.
Viable is not about the politics of abortion, the legality of abortion, or even the constitutionality of abortion. Viable presents the truth about Christ's love, healing, and redemption.
