Politely Rude With Abby Johnson How One Woman’s Step of Faith Led to 40,000 Lives Saved; Christine Melchor of the Houston Coalition for Life
When Christine Melchor founded the Houston Coalition for Life, she had no office, no resources, and no plan—only a conviction that God was calling her to act. Decades later, that simple step of obedience has blossomed into a ministry that has reached over 40,000 women and inspired countless others across the nation.
In this moving episode, Abby Johnson sits down with her longtime friend and fellow pro-life leader Christine Melchor, Executive Director of the Houston Coalition for Life, to share the incredible story of how a single act of faith led to the creation of the Big Blue Bus—a mobile pregnancy center parked just outside the largest Planned Parenthood in the Western Hemisphere.
Together, they reflect on the quiet power of prayer, the courage it takes to trust God with the impossible, and the unseen heroes who stand in the gap for mothers and babies every day. It’s an inspiring conversation about faith that acts, miracles that multiply, and how being in the right place at the right time can change the course of countless lives.
