From “what if” fear to “even if” faith.
Through Scripture and personal stories, Melanie helps women know God personally and trust His heart, even when life doesn’t go as planned.
It’s one thing to hear that God is good. It’s another to trust His goodness when you’re waiting for an answer, facing something you can’t fix, or wondering whether He’s paying attention.
That’s where this conversation begins. Bring your questions, your uncertainty, and the parts of your story you haven’t figured out. You don’t need the right words to begin knowing Him.

Absurdly happily married.Mom to five miracle kids.And a woman with some stories to tell.
I’ve been married for more than thirty years to the man I still think is the foxiest man on the planet. I’m a mom to five miracle kids, and my family is at the heart of how I’ve come to know God’s faithfulness.
I’ve also prayed, panicked, tried to take control, and made a mess of things. I have plenty of stories where I’m the one who needed the lesson.
Through it all, I’ve come to know a God who sees us fully and loves us right in the middle of our unfinished lives. That’s why I wrote You Have To Know. And it’s why I keep sharing.
I want you to know Him personally. To believe that He has you, even when you can’t see how the story will unfold.

Who you believe God to beshapes the way you live.
When you believe He is good, that truth begins to reach the places where you’ve been afraid.
01 · KNOW HIS HEART
You can know God personally.
You don’t have to arrive with years of Bible study or a polished prayer. Open His Word. Bring Him an honest question.
02 · REMEMBER WHO HOLDS YOU
Your circumstances don’t tell the whole story.
An unanswered question can take up a lot of room. So can a disappointment, a mistake, or something someone said about you. God sees the whole of your life.
03 · SURRENDER
You can rest before you have the answer.
Surrender can begin with a simple prayer: “God, I don’t know how this will work out. I believe You are good. Help me trust You here.”
04 · LIVE IN CONVICTION
Let what you know about God shape today.
The words you speak. The decision in front of you. The worry you keep picking back up.
You Have To Know
What I’ve lived. What He’s shown. What you need to know.
I wrote this book because there were things I couldn’t keep to myself.
THE BOOK
You Have To Know
Stories of God meeting me in the mess. Moments that challenged what I believed. Lessons I learned through family, uncertainty, failure, and the kind of experiences you couldn’t make up.
SPEAKING
Honest stories. Biblical truth. Room for real life.
Through personal testimony, biblical teaching, and a little humor at my own expense, I invite women to know God more personally and trust His heart with their lives.
HEART CHECKS
A moment to pause
Inside, you’ll find honest storytelling, Scripture, prayer, and Heart Checks that invite you to pause and consider your own life with God.
