    Found and Woven | Hope after Abortion - Ep 125

    Send us Fan Mail We got the opportunity to talk with Renae Kitchin of Found and Woven.  Why should you listen to this episode? Because we’re talking about a wound that touches 1 in 4 and yet is almost never named out loud in church. With an estimated 76 million abortions worldwide each year, countless women and men sit in our pews carrying years—even decades—of hidden grief, shame, and trauma. After over 20 years in this field, Found and Woven has created a brand‑new, Christ-centered curriculum called “Not Alone” to walk people from “my story ended with abortion” to “my story is being redeemed.” In this conversation you’ll hear: How abortion decisions often flow from layers of earlier pain, abuse, and abandonment.Why so many women (and men) are told it’s “no big deal,” then left alone with the falloutWhat changes when churches finally acknowledge the one-in-four in their congregationsHow “Not Alone” was shaped by decades of ministry and real stories, not theoryTestimonies of people rediscovering identity, creativity, and hope in ChristIf you’re a pastor, ministry leader, or simply someone who cares about the hidden hurt in the body of Christ, this episode will give you language, vision, and a practical path toward real healing.
