Today we’re joined by Dinah Minohan to discuss Psalm 51 Ministries, a powerful initiative dedicated to equipping Christian women who have experienced healing from life’s traumas. Through the ministry, these women find wholeness in Christ and are trained to walk alongside others on similar healing journeys. As they mentor hurting women toward restoration, they in turn raise up a new generation of mentors. This multiplying effect empowers churches and ministries across the nation with trained leaders who bring hope, healing, and Christ-centered support to women in need within the Christian community.
