Alena Van Dyke
Spiritual mentor, author, podcast hostess
Alena means “beautiful bearer of light.”
Ever since I was young, I have felt called to be a light in the darkness. Now is the time to dedicate myself full-time to sharing His love and light with the world.
The Miniphanies® podcast was born of this desire. To be little “ah-ha” moments that inspire you into deeper relationship with the Lord, and invite you to encounter him in all the little and big things in life.

…a mid-30-year-old with an awesome resume, who left it all for the pearl of great price. Here to remind you that everything is spiritual and inspire you to go all-in as you follow Jesus, listen to the Holy Spirit, and love God, others & yourself with all you’ve got.
