Meet Melissa Maimone

(and unfreeze her YouTube face!)

Melissa is the author of The Radiant Midnight: Depression, Grace, and the Gifts of a Dark Place  (Harvest House Publishers) and Gathering Dandelions: Meditations and Musings on Faith, Fracture, and Beauty Mistaken for a Weed.

​

She is also the creator and designer of Sparrow Sisters Jewelry - an extension of her ministry that offers women a way to "take home" key principles of what they learn from their time with her. 

​

Melissa's writing has appeared on Lysa Terkhurst's Proverbs 31 blog, in Lifeway's HomeLife Magazine, and various other media outlets. She's been a guest on Kathi Lipps's Clutterfree Academy Webcast, TBN, and KKLA Christian Radio. She also makes regular appearances on popular podcasts discussing a wide range of topics for women.

​

She is on the speaker roster for Compassion International, a world-wide organization dedicated to releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name. She is passionate about their work and is honored to be part of a nationally recognized leader in changing the lives of children, their families, and their communities.

​

Melissa served as the Director of Women’s Ministry (along with wearing a few other hats!) at a large church in Santa Clarita, CA for over a decade. She uses her wide range of church ministry experience and her B.A. in Organizational Management to mentor other women in leadership.

​

She and her husband Danny live outside of Raleigh, North Carolina. They are parents to Cole, a research assistant living in New Orleans, and Elizabeth, who lives at home. Their daughter Elizabeth has developmental delays. The experience of raising a child with special needs has been both challenging and rewarding--but they wouldn't change a thing! She loves Jesus, her family, and her friends. Her hobbies include reading, walking, watching weird documentaries, and searching out the perfect street taco.
