Women who are faced with an unplanned pregnancy usually don’t want to abort their child, but society has told them that it’s an empowering choice and many feel coerced. This cultural untruth is combated by Let Them Live, a non-profit working tirelessly to provide women with the resources they need, helping both mother and child to flourish, and keeping the mother from regrettably stepping into an abortion clinic. Emily Berning is the president and co-founder of Let Them Live, and discusses her team’s dedication of providing pregnant women with financial support that assists them in their motherhood journeys. She says Let Them Live gives these women another option and 98% choose life as a result.TAKEAWAYSIt is counter-cultural to be pro-life, but the results it yields are life-giving and necessaryChristians are not promised an easy, cushy life; rather, Christians are warned they will be persecuted (John 15:18-20)Emily’s organization prioritizes urgent cases over non-urgent ones in a smart and efficient triage structureMoney and intensive counseling at Let Them Live are reserved for women who are actively considering abortion🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEBARK Phone: https://bit.ly/TINAPHONEBARK App (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CCMBarkLet Them Live video: https://bit.ly/42CgW6hAdopt a Mom: https://letthemlive.org/adopt-a-mom/🔗 CONNECT WITH EMILY BERNINGWebsite: https://letthemlive.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LetThemLiveOrgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/let-them-live/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letthemliveorg/X: https://x.com/letthemliveorgYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LetThemLive📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYGive A Derm (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4e7x5n6Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/My Father’s World: mfwbooks. com/4tinaMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMom🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

There was a pivotal moment when Robin Gerblick’s world stopped revolving and began revealing the truth of God’s love and grace to her. This set her on a journey that would deepen her relationship with Christ over many years of trials and tribulations. Robin, a certified Biblical life coach and author of Giving Up Grace - A Spiritual Rebranding of the Soul, shares about her experience surviving two abortion procedures, grappling with that trauma, dealing with the guilt, and finding Jesus in the aftermath. “Until we know who we are, it can be hard to understand whose we are,” she explains. When you know Jesus, you know that you’re forgiven. Robin’s testimony is a reminder that Jesus can save and redeem everyone, regardless of their past and no matter the difficulty.TAKEAWAYSAbortion has many lifelong physical and mental effects that abortion providers refuse to warn you aboutThe Word of God is very clear about the identity and personhood of each human being (Psalm 139:13)Unforgiveness toward oneself is a core struggle women face in the aftermath of an abortionThe grace of God can wash anyone clean and heal all the pain and guilt of past sin🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEDownload the CCM App: https://bit.ly/3VC4D2XQuotes From Abortionists article: https://bit.ly/3EzJYKJExodus Women’s Retreat: https://exoduswomensretreat.com/Giving Up Grace book: https://amzn.to/4dUfoJ0Flash of Light Moment of Conception video: https://bit.ly/45IjmlIBaby Olivia Life in the Womb video: https://bit.ly/3Zgbhke🔗 CONNECT WITH ROBIN GERBLICKWebsite: https://robingerblick.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robin.gerblickInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robingerblick/📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomTrail Life: https://blog.traillifeusa.com/lbbb-tinaMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinRapid Radios (get 10% off with code TINA): https://rapidradios.com/discount/TINA🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

“Abortion is a form of trauma, and many people who have undergone the procedure are suffering from a type of PTSD,” says Robin Gerblick, a certified Biblical life coach. Robin shares her experience of having two abortions and how it detrimentally affected her physical and mental health for decades. She never knew there was life growing inside of her before she aborted her children - nobody told her, and abortion clinics purposely didn’t make that information available to her. Robin also didn’t know how painful or grueling the abortion procedure would be. There are immediate and long-term consequences of abortion, and they will manifest in every area of life. It’s so important to help women understand the true effects of abortion before they make a detrimental decision.TAKEAWAYSThe trauma of having an abortion affected Robin’s relationships throughout her lifeAbortions in the 1970s were very much like “back alley” procedures and very dangerousRobin received no counseling about abortion or its effects from the abortion clinic because they are focused on the money madeUltrasounds can help women understand that there is real life growing in their womb🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEBook Tina to Speak: https://bit.ly/48RJklDGiving Up Grace book: https://amzn.to/4dUfoJ0🔗 CONNECT WITH ROBIN GERBLICKWebsite: https://robingerblick.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robin.gerblickInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robingerblick/📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomTUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tinaInstitute for Creation Research: http://icr.org/tina🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Each day, all around the world, abortions are eliminating thousands of innocent unborn children. People like John Ensor, the president of PassionLife Ministries, is on a mission to save as many babies as possible. John is the author of Pregnancy Crisis Intervention - What to Do and Say When It Matters. His organization operates in 40 countries worldwide and helps pregnant women get critical information, encouraging them to choose life over abortion. He also reveals the horrifying truth that 97 percent of abortions take place internationally. The three regions with the most abortions are China, the USSR, and the Caribbean, particularly in Cuba. John’s mission is to reach these countries with a pro-life message that is simple and effective.TAKEAWAYSPassionLife Ministries focuses on training Christian leaders worldwide to train their flock to encourage mothers to choose lifePregnancy and abortion is a complex emotional issue that PassionLife Ministries narrows down to four critical questionsThe first two questions: What does the Bible say about life in the womb?

Valerie Hill has firsthand experience with abortion, and it has heavily influenced the way she approaches helping women choose life for their babies. She is the CEO of RealOptions, which provides holistic care to women through their teams of health coaches and medical professionals in licensed medical clinics. These resources help women embrace motherhood from a woman-centered point of view, who might otherwise be coerced into an abortion by the medical complex. “Abortion aborts your own life,” she says, noting the side effects for women like depression, suicidal thoughts, alcoholism, and unhealthy emotional behaviors. When women find support, they don’t want to choose abortion, Valerie says. Often, they just feel like they’re alone and there’s no other options.TAKEAWAYSRealOptions is not here to judge women - it’s here to help themWe need a message that is woman-focused and not baby-focused for frightened women who need facts to make an informed decisionThe abortion pill can be reversed in many cases if it is addressed early enoughWe are not meant to live our lives in denial🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODERealOptions Gold Standard of Care video: https://bit.ly/4cT60VdGabb (get $25 off with code TINA): Gabbwireless.Com/promo/TinaHeartbeat International: https://www.heartbeatinternational.org/🔗 CONNECT WITH REAL OPTIONSWebsite: https://realoptions.net/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realoptions.centralsanjose/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realoptionsobria/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@realoptions3/videos📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinCapstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/Redemption Shield (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4ijBXXX🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Choosing to have an abortion is permanent. Whatever you are facing right now is temporary. This is the wisdom that abortion survivor and author Melissa Ohden discusses in detail. As a survivor of a failed abortion procedure, Melissa has a unique perspective on what it’s like to grow up knowing that your birth parents tried to kill you. She has written two books on the topic of abortion and choosing life, and she understandably advocates strongly for the pro-life movement. Many other women have stories dealing with the side effects and pain of abortion, and it’s important to talk about those stories and share them with others. It’s also vital to know how to discuss abortion with pro-choice advocates from both a scientific and religious standpoint when the opportunity arises.TAKEAWAYSMelissa’s book, Abortion Survivors Break Their Silence, offers many stories about others who have survived an assault in the wombNot many people know how often the abortion pill fails and results in a full-term baby, nor the potential risks including deathThe term pro-choice is a mask for a movement that is pro-deathChallenge people to think about the truth and the effects of abortion, you might be saving a life🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEBook Tina to Speak: https://bit.ly/48RJklDYou Carried Me: A Daughter’s Memoir video: https://bit.ly/4iCrneIAbortion Survivors Break Their Silence book: https://amzn.to/4mzvzPxMy Body My Choice: https://mybody-myvoice.org/Remembering Pro-Life Advocate Sue Thayer: https://bit.ly/3Fdnu2v🔗 CONNECT WITH MELISSA OHDENWebsite: https://melissaohden.com/📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYInstitute for Creation Research: http://icr.org/tinaMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomCapstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/LifeVac (get 10% off with code TINA): https://lifevac.net/🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Most women who have had an abortion say they didn’t have enough information regarding its long-term physical and emotional effects beforehand. In fact, the abortion industry is a multi-billion-dollar machine that has blurred the lines between the patient’s relationship with their doctor and the government itself. These are some of the revealing topics discussed by Jim Harden, the CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Center, who highlights the dark link between abortion, government, and political power. “The ability to decide who lives and dies is raw power,” he says. Most reproductive rights advocates don’t care about women at all - they care about money, power, and control. He also talks about the influence the United Nations has on globalizing the United States and its aim to “manage” humanity without qualification.TAKEAWAYSAll human beings are sacred and made in the image of God, giving each life inherent valueGlobalists believe it is their task to protect humanity from itself by managing the population and killing whom they deem unworthyThe medical industry is supposed to protect the patient and preserve life, not harm or destroy itWhen the medical system uses its power to destroy lives, it undermines public trust🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEAnswers in Genesis (get 10% off with code AIGCCM10): https://bit.ly/AIGCCMUnderstanding Your Fetal Ultrasound video: https://bit.ly/43wqPScProgesterone Negates Impact of Mifepristone: https://bit.ly/4jn5e4E🔗 CONNECT WITH JIM HARDENWebsite: https://www.revjimharden.com/🔗 CONNECT WITH COMPASSCAREWebsite: https://www.compasscarecommunity.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CompassCareCommunityX: https://x.com/compasscareYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/CompassCareCommunity📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYTUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tinaMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomInstitute for Creation Research: http://icr.org/tina🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

The medical complex and the media often hide the horrors of the abortion industry, but CompassCare Pregnancy Center CEO Jim Harden knows the truth: abortion always ends the life of a human. A human made in the image of God. Intentionally destroying the lives of unborn babies is evil, he says, and when a nation’s evil reaches such a peak, they invite God’s wrath upon themselves. Pregnancy is not a negative side effect of sex. Rather, it’s an act of God and a gift. A woman can either choose to embrace this gift of life or continue to make more harmful decisions and run from the responsibility of caring for the life in her womb. Jim’s organization specializes in providing comprehensive care for women who are considering abortion, as well as helping to reverse the effects of the damaging chemical abortion pill.TAKEAWAYSChemical abortions carry a lot of medical risks that providers often don’t like to discussJim authored a book, Are You Pro-Life For the Right Reasons?

Diagnosing trauma in adults is hard enough, but it can be even harder to spot it in small children who may not have the words to express how they are feeling. Darby Strickland is a counselor and the author of a children’s book that helps kids categorize and recognize their many feelings. The book, Something Scary Happened, is an excellent way to kick-start important conversations and comfort kids who are dealing with the fallout of a difficult or harrowing event. Darby also talks about how much children read and mimic their parents, and why we need to model good behavior, whether it’s our faith in God or our willingness to talk openly and honestly about life’s battles. “It’s hard but it’s life-giving,” Darby says.TAKEAWAYSBehavioral regression in children and teens can be a sign of traumaNot all misbehavior is bad behavior, it often tells us that something is going on with our childrenYounger children exhibit more reactive behavior, and older children tend to withdraw or lash out sociallyLet your children have those special and important moments where they can be honest with you and unburden themselves🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODECovenant Eyes (get 30 days free use code TINA): https://counterculturemom.com/victory/Something Scary Happened book: https://amzn.to/45nzYPqChristian Counseling Education Foundation: https://www.ccef.org/🔗 CONNECT WITH DARBY STRICKLANDWebsite: https://www.darbystrickland.com/Facebook: https://bit.ly/43bVfu3Instagram: https://bit.ly/3Zxqnlk📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYRedemption Shield (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4ijBXXXMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinInstitute for Creation Research: http://icr.org/tina🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Rugged individualism can be helpful at times, but when it comes to nursing the hurts of our lives, it’s a hindrance. Pastor and author Otis Ledbetter discusses how we can heal trauma by looking into the reasons why people self-isolate and engage in damaging behavior in the wake of difficult experiences and events. Why are people afraid to change their lives? Why do some people struggle so badly with moving past their trauma? Otis encourages people to look at life through the lens of Biblical truth and to embrace an attitude of positivity, which he promises will bring comfort back into your life. God knows we were not created to be alone, so it’s imperative we seek support and help from others.TAKEAWAYSAn example of destructive behavior is allowing damaging thoughts to sit and fester in your mindSometimes, when we talk about our problems too much, Satan is there to play on those fearsSome people are afraid of failure, and hence they are afraid to take risksThe Bible teaches us that it is good to think positively and to focus our thoughts on positive and uplifting things🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODERestore Patch (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3tAntfRSet Free book: https://amzn.to/45o1Xi1🔗 CONNECT WITH OTIS LEDBETTERWebsite: https://www.joledbetter.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jotis.ledbetter.3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oledbetter/📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomJacob’s Ladder: https://jacobsladder.us/give/Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
