Our Story
Hi, I’m Mikella
Welcome to this Sacred Mess

Chasing Sacred started as Mikella Van Dyke’s outlet to write and share what God was teaching her through her time in the Word. Mikella had recently transitioned into married life, moved from NYC where she was pursuing a dance career, and left her upbringing in Thailand as a Third Culture Kid. The myriad of transitions left her with only ONE choice to chase God first and foremost over all else.
From the author of the blog and Instagram account, Chasing Sacred, comes a woman’s one-stop-shop for sound theology and Christian community.
What started as a devotional blog quickly evolved into teaching women how to study the Bible.
Chasing Sacred is a ministry that offers truth-based resources for those that want to take their Faith seriously through sound theology, and Inductive Bible Study.
The Chasing Sacred team has grown in order to provide resources to women from and through every walk of life.

Our Story
We desire to glorify God with our lives by putting him first.
We are passionate about God’s Word and the pursuit of him.
We are Gospel-centered. (John 3:16)
We believe in the Triune God
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16)
We believe in the transforming work of the Holy Spirit
We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins because of his great love for us, that through him we receive forgiveness of sins, and eternal life. When you confess and believe that Jesus Christ is Lord you will become a partaker and a heir.
Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
(Romans 10:9-14)
