Meet Missy!
Do you want to live boldly for Jesus?
I’m Missy Eversole, an author, podcaster, and speaker from central Illinois. I love encouraging Christ-followers to stand firm in their faith, be a light for Jesus, and step boldly into what God is calling them to do.
I know what it’s like to feel nudged by the Lord again and again. And I’m living proof that when He calls you to further His kingdom, He will give you the boldness, courage, and fearlessness you need to walk in obedience.
Following Jesus was never meant to be quiet, hidden, or tucked safely away. We are called to be salt and light right where God has placed us — in our homes, churches, communities, workplaces, and online spaces. My heart is to remind believers that bold faith does not require having it all together; it simply begins with saying yes to Jesus and taking the next obedient step.
I am a former writer for the COMPEL Training blog and a contributing blog writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries Online Bible Studies. My writing also appeared in Kingdom Edge Magazine and the Dawn app.
As a Colson Fellow, I am dedicated to helping people see the world through the lens of a biblical worldview. Whether through writing, podcasting, speaking, or showing up on social media, I hope to encourage others to stand firm in their faith, speak truth with grace, and live boldly for Jesus in everyday life.
What I Believe
I BELIEVE in the only true God, who is the Father, Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer, and Ruler of all things. He is perfect, always just, and right. He is the ultimate headship in the world. His wisdom and knowledge are unparalleled.
I BELIEVE Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who, through His perfect life, sacrificial death, and resurrection, atoned for and conquered the sin of all who will trust in Him, alone, for salvation. He is the perfect revelation of God in the flesh, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Therefore, He is fully God and fully man. Jesus died, rose from the grave, and ascended into Heaven. He is now seated at the Father’s right hand. He will physically return to reign as King of Kings for all eternity. God has shown His mercy by sending Jesus Christ to save sinners by His grace alone, not based on any human works.
I BELIEVE in the Holy Spirit, whose ministry is primarily to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The Holy Spirit sanctifies, seals, fills, guides, instructs, comforts, equips, empowers, permanently indwells beginning at salvation, and bestows spiritual gifts to the believer for Christ-like living and service.
I BELIEVE in the Holy Trinity. There is one God who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three persons have the same nature, attributes, and perfections, and each is worthy of the same worship, confidence, and obedience. While the three persons of the Trinity are equal in nature and glory, they each execute roles that show order and submission in complete unity.
I BELIEVE the Bible is the written Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice. Human authors wrote the 66 books of the Old and New Testament under the supernatural inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
I BELIEVE that all people are sinners and unable to save themselves from God’s displeasure except by His mercy. Originally, humankind was made in innocence, but Adam and Eve sinned against God in the Garden of Eden. Because of this, they received the punishment of physical and spiritual death. This has now fallen on every human being except Jesus Christ. Every human is sinful and is in need of a Savior.
I BELIEVE all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ to share His love with others.
