The FOUND Podcast with Lorie Hartshorn

What do you do when life doesn't unfold the way you imagined?
In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Melinda Estabrooks joins Lorie to share her remarkable journey of identity, loss, redemption, and discovering that God's love remains constant through every season.
Adopted as a child, raised in the Philippines, and later immigrating to Canada, Melinda has experienced profound transitions throughout her life. From navigating leadership and public ministry to walking through divorce and unexpected change, she opens up about how each chapter became an invitation to rediscover her identity—not in success, relationships, or titles, but in Christ. This episode is a beautiful reminder that no matter what you've lost, God is always writing a story of redemption.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- How adoption, immigration, and life transitions shaped her identity and faith
- Finding hope after loss, disappointment, and unexpected change
- Why your identity is secure in God's love not your circumstances
- The courage to embrace new beginnings and trust God's redemption
- The powerful truth behind Melinda's message: "Today is not your forever."
Melinda's story reminds us that even when life takes an unexpected turn, God is never finished with us. His grace meets us in the middle of heartbreak, and His love gives us the courage to begin again.
If you're navigating loss, starting over, or searching for hope in a difficult season, this conversation will encourage you to trust that your best chapter may still be ahead.
