Melissa’s Jubilee: It Was Never About Froggy

Chapter 4, Episode 3

The 2017 women’s retreat, called Jubilee, was meant to celebrate “joy in the Lord”—but for Melissa, it became the site of a soul-wrenching revelation. In this first retreat Amanda did not attend in over a decade, Melissa took the stage to praise God for restoring her marriage. She spoke passionately about the joy of rescuing her husband from his life of addiction and crime. But while Melissa shared her testimony, Froggy was nowhere near “rescued.” He was still entangled in a dark web of drugs, deceit, and dangerous relationships.

As Melissa reflects on the retreat and her overwhelming desire to save Froggy, she realizes something surprising about her motives and where her faith had actually taken her. This episode dives into Melissa's emotional journey and the shocking twist that reshaped her understanding of "rescue" and "joy."
