In our authentic conversation, Melinda shares her “You Are My Hiding Place” God story about how God helped her cope with her chaotic and trauma filled upbringing that involved dealing with family member rage and violence. She also shares how God helped her feel safe and cope with the trauma of her upbringing as she held a picture of Jesus with children on his lap from a Bible. She goes on to share her Calvary Chapel “Jesus People Movement” salvation story. In addition, she shares how God used her Dad to bring her and her family to Jesus Christ and how God led her to the White House to work during the 911 aftermath.
