Alena Van Dyke
Alena Van Dyke is a spiritual mentor, author, teacher, podcast hostess, and friend to wounded hearts. This modern Christian mystic believes everything is spiritual and encourages you to expand your God-box. Through writing, teaching, and enjoying deep and meaningful conversations over coffee, Alena joins others on their journey to seek the Lord with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength. Alena is an encouraging and welcoming companion for those walking through difficult seasons and into a wholehearted life with Jesus. She is a clarifying voice for modern Christian living and speaks the truth without hype or hypocrisy. Alena has dedicated her life to a true and deep understanding of what it means to follow Jesus. She earned a BA in Religious Studies, and an MA in Spiritual Formation before entering full-time ministry. After delving as far left and as far right as you can get in Christianity, she aims to teach and live life in the middle, a biblical balance between legalism and cheap grace. Today, Alena is a prophetic voice crying out in the desert for souls to seek the Lord with wholehearted pursuit. In her first book, "Return to Love: Redeeming the Heart of Christianity," Alena shares her journey and wisdom gained in spiritual valleys, mountaintops, and deserts. It is a practical guide and invitation for those seeking a deeper relationship with God. In her Miniphanies® podcast, Alena shares ancient truths in relatable ways, inspired by everyday experiences. These simple ah-ha moments, mini-epiphanies, inspire you to live with intention, choose spirituality over religion, and wholeheartedly embrace the Golden Rule: loving God and loving others as we love ourselves. She is the founder of Pray in the Desert, where believers gather together to pray, heal, and worship Jesus in New Mexico. Alena lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she is determined to obey the Lord, seek his face, and create a place for others to meet with him in the beautiful desert, find healing, and worship under the starry sky. Alena is available to speak, lead retreats, or connect for deep and meaningful conversations over coffee.alenavandyke.com
