enjoy our best picks for summer inspiration!

Summer is our favorite season here at MELCHEE, and while the warmer months call for travel, cookouts, and family gatherings and celebrations, we also welcome renewed time spent with God. No better way to be in the presence of our sweet Savior than diving into the Word, summer worship at Sunday service, and recommitting to the disciplines of personal Bible study, prayer and fasting, and offering gratitude for God’s goodness. To aid your summer devotion, here are our picks for podcasts, articles, and readings that are sure to bless you this season and beyond . . .

>Actress Kimberly Elise launched the Grace, Truth, and Love podcast to “edify and encourage the body of Christ and to promote Biblical womanhood for Christian women.” Check out the latest episodes here.

>Today’s Purpose Woman online magazine has been blessing us with articles that deepen our relationship with the Lord and which share the stories of women walking in transformation and victory. Visit TPW’s website here for readings that will enlighten your journey and help you embrace the call of God on your life.

>We’ve become a big fan of author Talia Hill, a woman of grace who urges others to walk in the truth and light of Christ. Follow her inspirational Instagram profile and get a copy of her latest release, The Woman: A 30 Day Devotional for Every Woman, here.

>Many churches pause their Bible study gatherings in the summer months to give leaders a chance to rest and prepare lessons and teachings for the remainder of the year. Orange Grove Missionary Baptist Church keeps study on the hearts of its members through their summer devotional, Selah: A Pause for the Soul, helping saints stay built up in the Word.

>Community leader Pat Richardson, Executive Director of the Monet Richardson Community Foundation, launched the Turning Pain into Purpose podcast earlier this year where she shares about discovering hope, meaning, and healing after loss.

>New Day LIVE! is MELCHEE’s online talk show where faith and community align to inspire Godly living and encourage service to those in need. Preachers, teachers, authors, and local trailblazers join us to share about their work and how we might live in the exceeding abundantly above! Listen to our favorite episodes here, and don’t miss our return in 2026!
