Mel Olson realized in her tiny jail cell that she wasn't alone | 52 Stories

"I remember that Tuesday evening that I was just like I have nobody. I don’t know who my friends are, nobody’s answering and I was sitting in a jail cell and I said I have nobody. You literally don’t have much in a jail cell, but I had this little concrete table and at that moment, when I said I had nobody, I looked and I was like I do I have a Bible and I know I still have God. And that's where this all started"

You may remember a month back when we shared our shortest episode ever. Mel Olson shared the short version of her story on August 24th at our Baptism and Reunion party with our partner church Lakepoint and Revive. We said we'd love to get Mel back to share the fuller context of her story, and here it is. Mel is still living with a lot of unknowns as she waits on court dates, housing opportunities and potential jobs but one thing is certain, she's not alone.
