Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWhat happens when a childhood secret finally breaks the surface after 40 years of silence? In this deeply moving episode of Encounters at the Well, host Amy Donathan sits down with Brandi Cline to share a powerful story of trauma, courage, and redemption.Sexually abused at just two years old and raised in a home marked by fear and spiritual distortion, Brandi spent most of her life trying to earn love and avoid punishment. Her view of God was shaped by pain, silence, and survival. But everything began to unravel—beautifully—when her daughter became pregnant and memories she had long buried came crashing to the surface.Through panic attacks, anxiety, and a near breakdown, Brandi reached out for help... and everything began to change. She discovered that the God she feared wasn’t angry or harsh, but gentle and good. This episode is a testimony of healing through Christ, the courage it takes to seek freedom, and the grace that meets us in the most broken places.🎧 Listen as Brandi opens up about:Carrying the secret of childhood sexual abuse for decadesHow fear of punishment shaped her view of GodThe unraveling moment that led her to finally ask for helpFinding a good and gentle Father in GodNavigating grief and family rejection in the healing processRedeeming her story through a new calling as a Christian life coachToday, Brandi walks alongside other women as a trauma-informed coach through her practice, Finding Grace Coaching.
