Content Warning / Explicit Episode: This episode includes discussion of childhood abuse and sexual trauma. While details are shared with care and without graphic description, listener discretion is advised.

In this deeply moving and vulnerable conversation, Angie Lagemann shares her story of growing up in a home marked by confusion, abuse, and broken trust—and the long road that led her to true healing.

As a young child, Angie believed that once her stepfather returned from prison, life would finally get better. Instead, things became more painful and unsafe. When her home life continued to unravel, she held onto another hope: if she could find her biological father, surely he would rescue her. But that rescue never came.

What Angie ultimately discovered—through heartbreak, disappointment, and deep spiritual searching—was that no earthly parent could save her the way she needed. It was her Heavenly Father who saw her, protected her, and began the slow, sacred work of healing her heart.

This episode is not easy to listen to—but it is powerful, redemptive, and full of hope. Angie’s testimony is a reminder that God meets us in our darkest places, that trauma does not get the final word, and that healing is possible through Christ.

If you or someone you love has experienced childhood trauma or abuse, this conversation may feel heavy—but you are not alone, and your story is not over.
