In this episode, I sat down once again with Melanie to go deeper into her remarkable journey of transformation. From experiencing childhood trauma to wrestling with identity and finding true redemption in Jesus, Melanie opens her heart in a powerful continuation of her testimony first shared in episode 27. We talked about the struggles she faced with same-sex attraction, how Christian community helped her rebuild trust and identity, and what it means to lean on discernment while navigating faith-based content on social media. Melanie reminded us we're never too far for God's grace to reach us, and that true transformation begins when we surrender to His plan. Her story is raw, real, and filled with hope.
