Meet Melissa Jean Rod
Hello and welcome to my little corner of the world!
Grab a sweet tea, pull up a chair and listen to my story.
It has it all. Love, anger, joy, sorrow, laughter, heartache, redemption. And every step of the way is God. Through it all, holding me close and loving me. No matter where I go, He’s there.
God has been with me through so many wild and crazy times throughout my life. I’m far from perfect and have struggled at times but still tend to be a “Pollyanna” or with a glass half full type of attitude. My life may not have been easy, but it’s been wonderful and I’m here to share it in the hopes that maybe you will benefit a tad bit from my experiences.
Get comfy and let’s talk!

Want to stay connected? Join my email list Sweet Tea & Truth: The Monthly Case File...real talk, redemptive stories, behind-the-scenes mayhem, encouragement, faith, forgiveness, and the occasional family secret.
You'll also be the first to hear about new books, speaking events, retreats, and whatever door God decides to fling open next.
Because around here, we believe your story may have some messy chapters...but God is still writing.
“Melissa’s journey takes a number of years to find her physical birth father, with lots of twists and turns and unexpected events. It’s... like a good detective novel. The underlying theme is that there was always the Father available to her, which was God.
I love the book. It’s interesting, I just wanted to keep reading to find out what happened next, and the tenacity with which she kept pursuing it in the face of all kinds of obstacles. I love what she’s doing, I love the book....."
