Who We Are

rhonda kinserRhonda Kinser is a passionate encourager, counselor, and ministry leader whose heart beats for helping others discover healing, purpose, and identity through Jesus Christ. Her voice carries compassion and truth—shaped by her personal story of redemption following an abortion and a series of early life traumas. With every message, Rhonda reminds audiences of God’s unshakable love and the freedom that can only be found in Him.

Raised in a pastor’s home, Rhonda experienced a painful childhood marked by divorce, poverty, and personal struggles with addiction. An unplanned pregnancy and abortion added layers of shame and brokenness—until a transformative encounter with God in college changed everything. That moment revealed to her the love of a Father who would never leave, and it became the cornerstone of her healing and life calling.

With nearly 30 years of counseling experience, Rhonda has walked alongside people in some of their hardest seasons. Her professional journey includes therapeutic foster care, higher education, private practice, and church ministry. She holds a Bachelor’s in Sociology and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology, and she was ordained to the ministry in 1999.

In 2015, she founded Rochelle’s Place, Inc., a nonprofit that provides post-abortion healing and support for women seeking hope and restoration. Whether she is speaking to pregnancy center teams, church groups, or women in crisis, Rhonda’s words are marked by authenticity, biblical insight, and a heart full of grace.

Rhonda’s favorite therapy is chasing her yellow lab puppy, Sadie – with a mocha latte in hand and plenty of laughter with her husband of 34 years!
