Episode Details

In this powerful and emotional episode of Faith in the Valley, host Melinda Isley sits down with Shelenea Harris, founder of Live on Purpose, for a Holy Spirit–led conversation that beautifully comes full circle.

This episode ties directly back to Episode One of Faith in the Valley. Shelenea led the very event where Hope Worrell, Melinda’s debut guest, encountered Jesus for the first time. What began as two women barely knowing each other quickly turns into a deeply encouraging, Spirit-filled conversation about God’s glory, His providence, and how He weaves the lives of His children together when we simply say yes. 

The episode takes a surprising and emotional turn when Shelenea opens up and shares how God rescued her through Melinda’s music, testimony and obedience to share His love at the very retreat where they met. Tears flow freely as we’re reminded that what we see on the outside doesn’t always reflect what someone is walking through on the inside.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that God wants our yes — not because He needs us, but because He longs to bless, heal, and restore us through willing hearts.  

If you’ve ever wondered whether your obedience matters, this episode will encourage you to trust God, lean in, and say yes.
