Chasing Sacred with Mikella Van Dyke

I’d like to give a special shout out to my algorithm. This time it served me well because its how I stumbled upon Mikella Van Dyke and the work of Chasing Sacred. To my total delight Mikella and her team are equipping women who want to study scripture for themselves and teaching a method that makes space for it to be simple and beautiful—a well that never runs dry, really. And like all ministries or missions, there’s an origin story that precedes the clearer nudges from God to get going. Mikella’s is one of those. It starts with a little girl hungry and curious with a hint of the grit it takes to find some answers. From a childhood spent overseas in Thailand to professional dancing in New York City to now raising five young kinds alongside her husband, Mikella’s story will remind you of what it looks like to pursue God with all of your heart in all of your seasons. I can’t wait for you to listen! Here’s how you can order Mikella’s book and connect her work at Chasing Sacred! * Mikella’s Book: Chasing Sacred: Learn How to Study Scripture to Pursue God & Find Hope in Him * Website: Chasing Sacred * IG: Chasing Sacred * IG: Mikella Van Dyke If you’re new to We Have This Hope, we’re all about remembering the work of God in our lives and telling our stories.
