The Real Deal with Regan and Abby: Real Christian Conversations on Parenting & Faith

Barbara O'Neill is NOT missing but rather doing great and sits down for interview with Regan Long in March 2024 to discuss healing from physical and emotional trauma!

In this unfiltered and deeply confronting episode of TheReal Deal Podcast, Abby Johnson and Regan Long pull back the curtain on the modern pro-life movement—and what happens when truth becomes too uncomfortable for the establishment.

Abby shares the shocking response from the March for Life after screening her upcoming documentary Unthinkable—a film featuring three dozen former abortion workers risking everything to expose what really happens inside the abortion industry. While praised as “truthful” and “compelling,” the film was rejected for being too graphic.

That rejection sparks a no-holds-barred conversation about compromise, money, politics, and why many major pro-life organizations may not actually want abortion to end.

This episode dives into:


Why graphic truth is being avoided—even in the pro-life movement


How whistleblowers are risking prison to tell the truth


The uncomfortable reality of “non-profits” that profit from the fight


Why Abby is actively trying to work herself out of a job


How politics, power, and optics are overshadowing urgency


Why “lowering numbers” isn’t the same as ending evil


The spiritual warfare behind exposing what’s hidden


And why a new movement—or total collapse—may be inevitable

This conversation isn’t polished. It isn’t safe. And it isn’t meant to be.
It’s a call to wake up, stop compromising, and ask the hard question:

If the goal is to end abortion, why are so many afraid of the truth?

If this episode challenged you, share it.
If it offended you, sit with it.
And if you’ve been waiting for someone to finally say the quiet part out loud—this one’s for you.

Keep raising your little saints.

Unthinkable Truth: Why the Pro-Life Movement Is Too Afraid to End Abortion

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/7158e3fb-ccb1-4c97-abe0-b3df01194a03/transcript

Welcome to our first episode of 2026.

In this unfiltered conversation, Abby and Regan dive head-first into the spiritual, cultural, and parental battles families are facing right now. From media indoctrination and “toxic empathy” to raising children with discernment in a confused world, this episode is a call to stay alert, stay armored, and stay rooted in truth.

We discuss how subtle cultural messaging shapes our children, why sin is often disguised as compassion, and how parents must move from playing defense to being spiritually proactive.

This is not fear-based — it’s faith-based clarity.

🔥 What We Cover:


Why 2026 requires spiritual alertness more than ever


The danger of “toxic empathy” and misplaced compassion


Media, entertainment, and subtle indoctrination


Why silence is no longer an option for parents


Helping kids build real friendships instead of false identities


How Satan works slowly — not obviously


The importance of staying in a state of grace


Practical ways to protect your children without isolating them

“They Don’t Know What They’re Signing”: The Student Debt Trap

In this episode of The Real Deal with Abby and Regan meets real life decisions: college, trades, and calling. Abby and Regan talk about why so many teens are pushed into student debt before they even understand what they’re signing, why we’re “no student loans” moms, and how to help your kids find a path that fits their God-given gifts—whether that’s college, trade school, military, or beyond.


Plus: the importance of choosing a campus that aligns with your family’s values, spiritual formation, and the launch-year reality every mom feels.

In this episode:


The student loan trap (and why teens can’t grasp the burden yet)


College vs. trades vs. military: helping kids find their lane


Paying for college with scholarships + realistic planning


Why values + formation matter as much as a degree


“Equally yoked” and the long game of faith + family
