More About Melissa Maimone


Melissa Maimone is a sought-after speaker for women's events, retreats, and conferences. She brings a message of messy, magnificently authentic faith with depth, humor, and astute biblical teaching. She engages her audience with art, Scripture, story-telling, and a conversational approach. Simply put, Melissa stirs women to discover a deeper relationship with God. 

Using Scripture, art, story-telling, and lessons from her own battle with depression, Melissa demonstrates that the light of JOY can be found even in dark places. She is both a teacher and friend to her audiences; creating a dynamic atmosphere of learning, inspiration, and shared experiences. She encourages women that they can live a bold, messy, magnificent life of vulnerability and victory because they are known, accepted, and deeply loved by God--just as they are. Women leave their time with Melissa knit closer to each other, closer to God, and equipped with biblical, realistic, and transferrable tools to live a life of JOY, no matter what they face in life. 

Melissa is the author of The Radiant Midnight: Depression, Grace, and the Gifts of a Dark Place, a book written for anyone struggling to find God in the dark places of the faith journey. Her first book, Gathering Dandelions: Meditations and Musings on Faith, Fracture, and Beauty Mistaken for a Weed, was named Devotional of the Year by Interviews and Reviews. 

She is part of the speaking team for Compassion International, a worldwide 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.

She and her husband Danny live outside of Raleigh, North Carolina. They have two grown children. She loves Jesus, her family, and her friends. Her hobbies include reading, walking, watching weird documentaries, and searching out the perfect street taco.

Terry Wyckoff, Women's Ministry Team Member

I am pleased and especially happy to recommend Melissa Maimone as a Christian women's speaker. Our women's ministry has invited her to speak several times and each time she was very inviting, energetic and spoke from her heart touching everyone who came to hear her. Our evaluations which we ask our ladies to complete after each event gave her 10 and 10+ the highest positive mark for her program talk. She is easy to work with and goes with the flow. She was particularly helpful in even going above and beyond by assisting us in providing our hostess gift as well for our women's tea events. Melissa is truly a blessing and biblically speaks truth and love every time she speaks. She has lots of various topics that you can choose from and as an added bonus of being wonderfully talented artist and writer. Promise you will not be disappointed but definitely blessed by having Melissa Maimone as your next Christian Woman Speaker.

Cherie Lee, Director of Women's Ministries and Small Groups

Melissa is so relatable, open and honest as she shares her experiences walking with our Lord in His grace, forgiveness and love. She engages with her audience whether it is from the stage or as she sits and gets to know them one on one. Our ladies felt that they had met a new friend that understood their own struggles in this life. No matter how broad the topic, Melissa sends one home with impactful stories or statements that are easily remembered. In the 25 years that I have been organizing Christian Women's Retreats, I have found Melissa to be my favorite speaker.

I can't say enough about how wonderful our time with Melissa was during our Conference event. She was so relatable and real with sharing her own experiences and relating to all the women on a biblical level. The feedback from our conference on her presentation was overwhelmingly positive!
