Meet Michelle
Hello there! My name is Michelle McClean. First and foremost, I am a child of God and daughter of the High King. God spoke that message straight into my heart years ago. At the time, I struggled greatly with my identity. I got confused about how to view the roles I played. I didn’t know who I was or whose I was. More on that later. Now, I keep that reminder central in my life. I hope you do as well.
Today, I serve God and my family by being a wife to my husband of 15 years. He has been my very best friend for 23 years and is a wonderfully supportive, encouraging, and incredibly ornery guy! He keeps me balanced and always make me wonder what is next!
I also serve as a homeschool mama to two wonderfully active, and yes…ornery little boys! They are an answered prayer, and such a joy in my life. They keep me very busy as they are usually up to something. Remind me to tell you about the “pool party” they held in their bedroom once. ;)
​
Our family enjoys the beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the lifestyle of mountain living. We love to camp, hike, mountain bike, kayak, and paddle board. Put us under the stars at night, and we can spend hours talking and cuddling while enjoying one of God’s most beautiful works of art.
Outside of my two main ministries, I am also a writer, podcaster, and ministry leader. Whatever God leads me to, I step into. That was not always the case though.
When God first called me into ministry, I realized that I might be seeing the beginnings of an answered prayer. I had prayed for nearly 20 years that God would use me to serve His people. Yet, when I felt that call, I was hesitant. Why do we do that? Why do we hesitate when we believe we are being invited into something we know the Lord has prepared for us? We should plunge into the unknown and trust, right? But that is so hard, isn’t it?
At the time, I got stuck trying to figure out how I could have been useful to God in any way. I was a busy, overwhelmed mother of two young boys. I was busy cleaning up those pool party messes and trying to stay on top of the dishes and laundry. I felt like I was failing in every way I thought I should be succeeding. What would God want to do with me? Nonetheless, I chose obedience.
Taking those initial steps of obedience meant serving where God had called me to. God’s people need to be cared for, loved, and encouraged. Eventually the Holy Spirit nudged me into a leadership role in a women’s ministry. It was during the time of serving in that role that God gave me a vision for starting a new women’s ministry at my church.
I have now served as the director and teacher for that ministry a few years now. It has not been easy. I have made mistakes and have had to learn the hard way a few times. But I obeyed the Lord and began trusting in Him more than ever.
Through the arguing, second guessing, dragging my feet, and finally just obeying, I’ve learned the best path is simply to trust, pray and obey! God did not call me into ministry because of any success or failure in my life. I didn’t have to have all the answers or try to solve any major problems. That was His work. God called me because I am His child. He loves me.
God loves you as well, and He has a calling for your life too. The goal of this ministry is to bring to light what God tells us in His holy Word. We can then discover how to apply these truths to everyday life and live out the purpose that God created us for.
I hope you find yourself encouraged by what the Lord brings forth in working through me. This ministry is for you friend. So, take in God’s Word, and pray for Him to reveal His truths to your heart. He is so faithful and so good!
Much Love,
Michelle McClean
