OUR FOUNDER
Melissa Bentley
Hi, I’m Melissa Bentley, Founder of Loved Back To Wholeness, and I’m so glad you’re here. If we were sitting together over coffee, I’d tell you that The Lord has brought me through more than I ever thought I could survive.
My story is messy, full of pain and heartache—but praise God, He specializes in messy stories, turning them into powerful testimonies of healing, redemption, and victory. I have walked through childhood trauma, abortion, addiction, divorce, betrayal, the heartbreaking loss of my late husband to suicide, and so much more. I know what it feels like to be completely shattered, lost, and desperately searching for love and identity. But Jesus took my broken heart, placed each piece back together, and truly loved me back to wholeness.
At 25, in the middle of my mess, Jesus met me. I had always seen God as distant and harsh, but for the first time, I understood that He was a loving Father who had never abandoned me. He began healing my heart, restoring my identity, and showing me I was chosen, loved, forgiven, and redeemed. I was once a broken little girl, desperate for love, but now I am a healed and whole Kingdom warrior, fully knowing who I am in Christ, a daughter of The King. This is my passion—for you to also put on your crown and thrive in who God created you to be.
​​
For over 24 years, I have walked with abortion-determined and post-abortive women, exposing the lies surrounding abortion and leading them to freedom in Christ. For 27 years, I have come alongside women who feel unworthy, unseen, and trapped in shame—helping them step into healing, hope, and restoration. Today, I am remarried to a wonderful man who truly loves me, and I have three amazing adult children who bring so much joy to my life.
​
I’m a Board Certified Master Mental Health Coach, Master Certified Life Coach, a graduate of Victory Bible College, a BSSM graduate, and a former women’s pastor. With 26 years in ministry, I have launched multiple women’s ministry programs and have run my own private Christian Crisis Coaching practice for nine years.
I continue to share my testimony, speaking nationally and internationally, teaching the Word of God, and equipping others with truth, healing, and restoration. But more than titles, I’m just a woman who has been radically changed by Jesus—and I want you to know that healing is possible for you, too. No matter how deep the wounds, Jesus is ready to love you back to wholeness. You don’t have to walk this journey alone.
With all my love,
Melissa
