Melissa Keown loves history and the outdoors and has a heart for people who are different from her. Melissa is also on the leadership team in the Colorado Springs Colson Fellows Cohort (so she's good friends with Sarah!), and she shares about her experience in the program. When Melissa participated in Colson Fellows, it helped her learn to be a better listener. She also did the program with her daughter, so it was formative for their faith together!
