Every one of us has broken places inside. Places in our souls where the dust gathers or the wind whistles through. Every one of us needs restoration. Photographer and portrait artist Meshali Mitchell is no different. Though, in her case, she also had a farmhouse to restore to its former glory.

In this episode of the She Lives Fearless Podcast, Hosts Holly Newton and Dina Deleasa-Gonsar are having a conversation with Meshali, discussing her restoration journey and her book releasing this April!

In a world where Pinterest-perfect homes flood our social media feeds, Meshali Mitchell offers a radically different perspective in her new book Restored (Revell, April 2025). As both a professional photographer and portrait artist whose work has appeared in People Magazine, West Elm, and the Today Show, Meshali has an eye for beauty. But her journey of restoring an old farmhouse became about much more than aesthetics – it became a powerful metaphor for how God restores our souls.

Tune in and be deeply encouraged by Meshali's story of allowing God into every room of her heart while simultaneously renovating her home. With vulnerability and wisdom, she shares how the Lord drew her out from behind the camera to embrace His healing work in her life. Her story perfectly aligns with your mission of helping women pursue God fiercely and live fearlessly through Biblical truth.
