Grief is the wilderness no one prepares us for. The world tells us to move on and bury the pain. But what if grief wasn’t meant to be erased but integrated into who we are becoming?

Melissa Dlugolecki knows this firsthand. After losing her daughter Leyden to NEC, her life was shattered, her heart broken, her finances devastated, and her sense of identity stripped away. And yet, it was in that breaking that her rebuilding began. Today, she is a speaker, coach, and author of Scar Tissue, helping thousands transform grief into healing, resilience, and purpose.

In this episode, Melissa opens up about the truth no one wants to talk about: grief doesn’t disappear, it integrates. And within those scars are the very lessons that can crown us with identity, strength, and calling.

• Why “moving on” is the biggest myth about grief
• How to truly support someone going through loss
• How to recognize grief as a part of your identity, not a season you leave behind
• The surprising ways loss can expand our capacity for love
• How to carry grief with grace while stepping into new seasons

What if the darkest parts of your past weren’t meant to disqualify you, but to set others free?

Meet Caleb Altmeyer, Founder and CEO of Helping Captives. Once entangled in addiction, dealing, and destruction, he now leads a ministry devoted to delivering women out of trafficking, addiction, and exploitation, even transforming a strip club into a house of healing. His calling is clear: to declare freedom to the captives and to reveal the heart of God who always runs into the darkest places to rescue His children.

In this episode, Caleb takes us deeper into his journey and the radical ways God has used his past as a preparation for his calling. He takes us inside the reality of trafficking, why so many women feel trapped, and what it truly takes to protect and empower them. More than just a story of redemption, Caleb’s testimony reminds us that freedom is possible, healing is real, and every life surrendered to God has the power to create breakthroughs for others.

• What deliverance looks like and why it matters
• How God redeems broken pasts and prepares us for purpose
• The hidden struggles women face when trapped in exploitation
• What parents need to know about safeguarding their children from exploitation
• How your own healing unlocks freedom for others
