    Grateful for Life, Grieving Rejection | With Pastor Eric Hutch (Ep.19)

    What does it mean to be grateful for the gift of life while still grieving the pain of feeling unwanted? In this powerful episode of The Abort Ignorance Montana Podcast, Tanaia sits down with Eric Hutch, a pastor, adoptee, husband, father, grandfather, and author, to talk honestly about adoption, identity, belonging, loss, and the lifelong questions that can come with being adopted. Eric shares his personal adoption story, his journey of reuniting with his birth family, and the complicated emotions that came with discovering more about where he came from. His story holds a profound tension: gratitude that his birth mother chose life, alongside the grief of knowing he was placed for adoption and wrestling with what it meant to feel unwanted. Eric’s nearly 30 years of experience in pastoral leadership, counseling, and marriage and family ministry have shaped his passion for helping people understand their stories and find healing. He currently serves as Marriage and Family Pastor at Harvest Church in Billings, Montana. He and his wife, Shari, have been married for 37 years and have four sons and four grandsons. Eric is also the founder of Gravitas Leadership Institute and a Townsend Leadership Program Director, equipping leaders to grow in both character and competency. His own adoption and reunion journey inspired his 2026 memoir, 38 Septembers, which explores identity, belonging, loss, and the healing power of discovering one's story. This conversation explores the beauty and complexity of adoption—and what it means to affirm the value of life while making space for the grief, loss, and difficult emotions that can exist alongside gratitude. Listen to Eric Hutch’s story of adoption, reunion, faith, identity, and the profound truth that every life has dignity, purpose, and potential.

    The Surrogacy Debate: What the McKenna West & Baby Gabriel Case Reveals (Ep.18)

    In this episode of The Abort Ignorance Montana Podcast, we take a closer look at the growing debate surrounding surrogacy through the lens of the McKenna West and Baby Gabriel case. Surrogacy is often presented as a beautiful way to help create a family—but what happens when we look beyond the hopeful headlines and examine the ethical, emotional, legal, and human questions involved? We discuss the details and controversy surrounding the McKenna West and Baby Gabriel case and explore both the potential benefits and serious concerns surrounding surrogacy. What rights do intended parents, surrogate mothers, and children have? What happens when agreements break down or expectations change? And who ultimately bears the consequences when surrogacy becomes complicated? This conversation isn't about reducing a complicated issue to simple talking points. It's about asking hard questions and considering what surrogacy means for women, children, families, and the culture of life. Whether you're strongly supportive of surrogacy, opposed to it, or simply trying to understand the issue, this episode invites you to look deeper and consider the questions that often get overlooked. Listen, think critically, and join the conversation. **************************************************************** For the full McKenna West interview with Live Action, listen here: https://youtu.be/GSqM-6g76To **************************************************************** It's time to educate, advocate, and heal the culture in Montana surrounding abortion.

    The Abortion Pill Explained: Supreme Court, Mifepristone, and What Women Need to Know (Ep.15)

    The abortion conversation continues to evolve, and in this episode of The Abort Ignorance Montana Podcast, we take a closer look at one of the most significant issues shaping the abortion debate today: the abortion pill. Following the Supreme Court’s decision allowing mail-order access to mifepristone (the drug commonly used in medication abortions) to continue while legal challenges move forward, we break down what this means for women, families, and the future of abortion policy in America. In this episode, we examine the history and purpose of mifepristone, how the FDA’s drug label describes its use, and the concerns surrounding the safety of a medication that allows women to undergo the abortion process outside of a traditional medical setting. We discuss what women deserve to know about the abortion pill — including potential risks, complications, follow-up care, and the importance of informed consent. This episode is about more than politics or court decisions. It’s about understanding the facts, asking difficult questions, and ensuring women have access to honest information and real support. Join us as we unpack the latest developments surrounding mifepristone, the FDA, the Supreme Court, and the ongoing conversation about building a culture that values both women and life.

    Adoption in Montana: Supporting Women, Children, and Families | With Brinn Higinbotham (Ep.14)

    In this episode of The Abort Ignorance Montana Podcast, host Tanaia Puchta sits down with Brinn Higinbotham of Sacred Portion Children's Outreach to discuss the realities of adoption, the needs of vulnerable children and families, and how Montanans can become part of the solution. Together, they explore common misconceptions about adoption, the challenges facing children in need of permanent families, and the opportunities for churches, communities, and individuals to support women, children, and adoptive families. This conversation highlights adoption not simply as an alternative, but as a life-affirming response that requires compassion, commitment, and community. Brinn's path into social work was shaped by a deep desire to connect with others, provide support, and make a lasting impact in the lives of children and families. Her early experiences included working in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), supporting children with developmental needs, and walking alongside individuals who had experienced trauma from interpersonal violence. These formative roles gave her a strong foundation in empathy, communication, and trauma-informed care. Over time, she felt called to use what she had learned in a way that more fully aligned with her faith and passion for serving others. Whether you're considering adoption, supporting a loved one through an adoption journey, or simply want to learn more about how Montana can better care for women, children, and families, this episode offers practical insights and an encouraging vision for the future.
