TESTIMONIALS
"Melanie Beerda did a wonderful job connecting with our teens, allowing them to explore Scripture while speaking its truth in an authentic way. She has an engaging way of sharing her story, giving teens the freedom and permission to wrestle with their own pain through the lens of God's Word."

"I had Melanie speak at a Gala I coordinated for LIFE Recovery Association in February 2025. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend having her speak at your event! The comment I kept getting from guests was “I wish I could’ve heard her speak longer." If that doesn’t say enough! She is captivating, intelligent, kind, and throws in a little humour amongst the inspiring message she brings!”
