Melinda’s “You Are My Hiding Place” God Story

In this Episode, I feature special guest, Melinda Kay Ronn.  Melinda is the Altered Stories Ministry Board Secretary and is from Connecticut and the proud mom of a college aged daughter.  She has a degree in journalism and has worked in ministry over the last 25 years as a faith-based consultant; writing and editing books, God stories, publishing, doing marketing communications and community outreach. She was also born and raised in Southern California and as a child was part of the Jesus People Movement and attended Calvary Chapel Cost Mesa. 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.  In closing, she shares ministering words to those who are in need of encouragement and hope due to their chaotic and abusive home lives and circumstances.
