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 fallout
- What changes when churches finally acknowledge the one-in-four in their congregations
- How “Not Alone” was shaped by decades of ministry and real stories, not theory
- Testimonies of people rediscovering identity, creativity, and hope in Christ
If 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.
Renae unpacks the new “Not Alone” curriculum, how online groups and retreats bring Christ-centered healing worldwide, and why churches must address hidden abortion grief.
Be encouraged by real stories of hope and learn how this ministry is equipping the Church to respond.
