    A Personal Journey from Abortion to Redemption

    In this courageous episode of Re-Establishment, host Bodie D'Andrea tackles the raw, often politicized subject of abortion with guest Crystal Hettinger, a woman who has lived on both sides of the issue. Crystal shares her deeply personal story: a young woman raised in a Christian home who, while in college and feeling far from her faith, faced an unplanned pregnancy and chose abortion—a decision she believed would solve her problems but instead led to years of grief, addiction, and a profound downward spiral. Now the Director of Advancement for New Life Solutions, Crystal discusses her path to healing, redemption, and her calling to help others. She provides critical insight into the compassionate, free resources available today—from education and material support to mental health counseling and even abortion pill reversal—that she wishes she'd had. This is a conversation that moves beyond debate to focus on personal stories, tangible hope, and the life-affirming support available to women, men, and families in crisis.

Christine shares the harrowing three-year battle that brought her to a breaking point, including moments of profound danger where she called out to God from the deepest darkness. This is the story of hitting absolute rock bottom and finding that God's voice was still there, leading to a final, desperate decision for rehab. Now sober for 16 months, Christine has been restored to her family and her faith, and is pursuing a ministry to show others that no matter how far they've fallen, they are never beyond the reach of love and redemption. Her journey is the essence of Re-Establishment.
