“In my role working with conference leaders of our denomination Melissa Hofstetter [Founder of Shepherd Heart] has helped to clarify the complex issues of mandatory report and the various state requirements regionally. Her study and competency in this area serves church leaders well to lean on as we learn together in this important area……I highly recommend using Dr. Melissa Hofstetter to help educate church leaders on the topic of mandatory reporting and other topics in her skill set. Her pastoral presence and academic excellence connects well with leaders from a variety of backgrounds. “–Terry Shue,
