In this powerful episode of Dear Christian Women, we sit down with Tabitha Kourtney to hear her story of growing up on a naval base, falling into addiction, and ultimately discovering freedom through Jesus Christ.

Tabitha shares honestly about the experiences that shaped her growing up, how she found herself falling into addiction, and the difficult road that followed. Her journey eventually led her to Adult & Teen Challenge in Bakersfield, California, where everything began to change.

It was during her time at Teen Challenge that Tabitha encountered Jesus in a life changing way. What began as a journey toward freedom from addiction became something much deeper, a transformation of her heart, her identity, and her purpose.

Today, Tabitha is free from addiction, walking faithfully with Jesus, and actively serving in ministry. She is continuing to grow in her calling by leading and facilitating Bible studies, discipleship groups, and women's ministries. She currently facilitates Rooted, a 10-week discipleship program at South Valley designed to connect people with God, the church, and their purpose.

She also serves through Care and Crafts, a women's group that visits a women's shelter in Hanford each month to provide meals, desserts, crafts, encouragement, and the Word of God to women and children. Through Essence, she continues to grow in sisterhood, prayer, community, and discipleship.

Tabitha has also been leading a Wednesday Bible study through the book of John while faithfully attending another small group, and she recently began Koinonia School of Ministry, an 18-month program focused on understanding her spiritual gifts and growing deeper in her relationship with Jesus.
