Chalene says "My father became really irate slapping me 10-15 times knocking me down. Slapping me another 10 times knocking me down and then a third time and then finally my mom said that is enough."

Chalene shares about growing up under a strict, disciplinarian father. This deeply shaped her personality and taught her to be silent about abuse happening in their home. Despite the darkness she explains that God was always close to her. She shares several discoveries and lessons that brought her to healing and forgiveness.


"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:5 (NIV)
