Hi, I’m Holly

I’m so glad
you’re here.

Really. Whatever brought you to this page — curiosity, a hard season, or a quiet sense that there’s more of God than you’ve known so far — you’re welcome here, exactly as you are.

I lead people into the heart of God through Presence Nights, classes and mentorship here in St. Paul. And I’d love to meet you.

Holly Misener
a note from me to you

You belong here.

I don’t know what you’ve walked through. I do know that most of us carry more than we ever say out loud — and that somewhere along the way, a lot of us quietly decided God must be further away than He really is.

He isn’t. He’s so much closer than that.

You don’t have to have it together first. You don’t need the right words, or enough faith, or to fix the thing you’re embarrassed about before He’ll come near. That has never been who He is. His heart toward you is good, and it always has been.

I know because I had to find that out for myself. There were years I had nothing to bring Him except how badly I wanted Him — and it turned out that was enough.

I just kept running after Jesus. That’s all it was. And He kept meeting me. If you come, I’ll be glad you did, and I’ll want to know your name.

what’s on my heart

To help you fall in love with your Beloved.

Everything I do is trying to empower you to fall in love with Jesus and encounter His heart for yourself — not to hear about Him from me, but to meet Him.

and so…

I create places where His presence can dwell — rooted in the Word, filled with the Holy Spirit, where people experience the glory of the throne room.

A Presence Night, a class, a mentorship table — every one of them is simply an open door.

what matters most to me

What my whole life is built on.

Love

God is pure love, and that’s the truth I want you to hear first. Nobody gets shamed into growing.

Surrender

Saying yes before we know the whole cost. It’s the bravest thing any of us do.

Passion

Nothing lukewarm. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing with everything we have.

Glory

The room is for Him, never for me. Presence over performance, always.

Power

The Holy Spirit, actually moving. Not talking about Him — making room for Him.

Honor

Every person, every leader, every story. You will always be treated with honor here.

a little of my story

I never wanted to do ministry.

I never wanted to speak either. I just wanted Jesus — and He kept asking me for more.

Holly Misener

My son was diagnosed in 2007 and had surgery every three to six months for a decade. My daughter’s first surgery was the day she was born. Somewhere in those years a divorce took most of what was left, and I got to the place where I’d lost nearly everything.

So I went after God with everything I had left. And He met me. I wasn’t wounded anymore — I was ready to run.

I just kept running after Jesus. I still am. Everything you see here came out of that — nothing else.

come and see

The next Presence Night.

You don’t need to know anyone, believe the right things, or have your life sorted out. Just come hungry and ready.

Sunday 28 September

WherePayne Reliever Church
1100 Payne Ave, St. Paul
5:00Preservice prayer — anyone is welcome to join us
6:00Worship, the Word, and ministry. We don’t close in a hurry.

Nobody will single you out, put you on the spot, or corner you. Sit where you like, stay as long as you need, leave when you need to. If you’ve never been in a room like this — you’re not behind, and you’re supposed to be here.

Free · registration requested · last Sunday of every month

and if you host gatherings

I’d love to come and speak.

I don’t come to fill a slot. Every message ends with room for people to respond to God — if your gathering has space for that, we’ll get on beautifully.

Messages I love to bring

The Fiery Love of GodWhat His love looks like when you’ve given Him every reason to leave.
From Beloved to the Throne RoomYou are loved before you are useful.
The Crushing that Produces the AnointingWhat the hardest years were quietly producing in you.
The King of Glory Is in the RoomWhat it’s like when His presence actually shows up.

Also: Running After Jesus · The Presence and Fire of God · Red Sea vs Jordan · The Fear of the Lord · The Good Shepherd · The House of the Lord

let’s stay close

A short note most weeks.

Something I’m learning, something I’m praying, and where I’ll be. Written by me, not a team. No noise, ever.

And if you’d rather just say hi — I’d love that too.
