Hi, I’m Melissa McQuillen—a writer, teacher, and a cheering-you-on, no-fluff mentor who’s passionate about helping people seek truth, connect deeply, and live whole, surrendered, and full of joy.

I’ve always been a deep thinker and a bit of a wrestler—rarely satisfied with surface answers. I believe truth can handle your questions, healing is possible after disappointment, and that growing up in your faith doesn’t mean losing wonder—it means finding real strength.

This space is for those rebuilding faith, untangling old beliefs, or simply trying to live well—with integrity, joy, and purpose. I believe you are more powerful than you know. That your story matters. That God has planted something true and beautiful in you—and it’s time to live like it. You don’t have to have it all figured out. But you are allowed to keep going, keep growing, and become someone who walks in clarity, wholeness, and deep connection to Jesus.

Melissa lives in Dublin, Ohio, with her husband and their four daughters.

Her writing and speaking grow out of her faith and a desire to help others live with freedom and strength. She shares hope through honest stories and practical wisdom.
