Melanie is a devoted wife, daughter, sister, friend, teacher, writer, and mentor with a passion for helping others engage deeply with God and His Word. Through Spirit-led discipleship and biblical training, she equips and develops leaders to walk in freedom, spiritual maturity, and intimacy with Christ. Once bound by darkness, deception, and self-reliance, Melanie experienced the redeeming power of Jesus in a deeply personal way. Much like Mary Magdalene, she wasn't searching for God but He came searching for her. Out of her own story of deliverance fromgenerational bondage, addiction, and counterfeit spirituality, God has raised her to proclaim the life-changing power of His Word andHis presence. Now, she writes and teaches to help others discover the same freedom and transformation she found in Him. Her ministry The Loosening and her book Pend in His Presence were birthed from encounter. A living testimony that the love of Jesus can break chains, heal the deepest wounds, and rewrite any story. Through them, she carries a prophetic mandate to see the bound set free. A call to see God's people unbound, awakened, and restored to walk in the fullness of His presence.
