In today’s powerful episode, Courtney sits down with Trina Stegemann, who bravely shares her story of believing the lie that abortion was a “quick fix.” What began as a secret carried through college became a lifelong journey of grief, shame, redemption, and healing through Jesus.

Trina opens up about the trauma she endured, the lies she believed, and how God gently led her toward freedom through forgiveness, community, and grace. Together, Courtney and Trina talk about the unseen pain many women carry, the courage it takes to step into the light, and the truth that you are never beyond God’s redemption.

Whether you’ve personally walked this road or love someone who has, this episode will remind you that Jesus is enough, His grace covers it all, and healing is possible — no matter how long it’s been.


In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

  • Trina’s story of trauma, secrecy, and finding freedom through Christ

  • Why abortion is not the “quick fix” culture claims it to be

  • How shame and silence keep women from healing — and how to break free

Scripture Shared:

Genesis 50:20 (NIV)

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
