Melanie Troxell

Melanie Troxell is a writer, speaker, nurse leader, and daughter of Rick Blythe who was a pastor. She and her husband, Mike, remain deeply grateful for the faith, music, humor, and legacy of ministry that her parents, Rick and Ginger Blythe, instilled in their family and that continue to shape her life today.

Born into the home of a Ku Klux Klan leader, Rick Blythe seemed destined to inherit a legacy of hatred. Instead, grace led him to the cross and a lifetime of ministry.
