Hooray, you’re here!

I’m so glad you stopped by. If you were in my kitchen, I would offer you a glass of sweet tea or a hot cup of coffee in a mug that fits perfectly with your hand. Feel free to take off your shoes, find a cozy seat and stay awhile.

 

Hi, I’m Melinda Patrick.

Just an ordinary woman with a heart for Jesus, family, and friends. Add sweet tea and a good front porch swing to that mix, and I am filled with delight!

I haven’t always been this way, though.

Over 11 years ago, my world was shaken when I learned that my child struggled with same-sex attraction and embraced an LGBTQ identity. I’d love to tell you that I got it all right, but I didn’t. I made mistakes—mistakes that hurt my child and our relationship. But through God’s grace, and with the help of community, healing, and testimonies of others, I saw my own heart restored. My relationship with my child was rebuilt, and I found hope again.

God has taken my broken heart and turned it into a bridge to help other Christian parents like you.

Together, we can navigate this.
