About Michelle
Mold the Heart
molding hearts of stone into hearts of flesh
My name is Michelle, and I am a singer/songwriter and I started Mold the Heart to release my songs and to tell my story.
I always wrote songs growing up, without any instruments, just singing the story.
At 18, I went into the military and fell away from God after having my innocence be preyed upon, and my naive view of the world shattered.
I was sexually harassed, sexually assaulted, physically abused, and raped.
When I fell away from God, I fell into a lot of sin: sex outside of marriage, binge drinking, same sex attraction, hate, self-harm, etc.
I sinned and others sinned against me. This caused a lot of pain in my life, and others’ lives.
I ended up attempting suicide a few times in the military, and even after.
Long story short, ten years of counseling, various medications, numerous self-help books, multiple relationships, various therapies and "medical" marijuana, and even getting a personal trainer couldn't save me.
I was saved by Jesus Christ.
Jesus saved me by reading the Bible, setting me free from demon possession (literally in October 2017), and obedience to the Word of God saved me.
God also led me to songwriting at the exact same time that He saved me, and this played a vital role in my healing and purpose for life, as I felt that God wanted me to combine my experiences and talents for the mission, vision, and values explained below:
Mold the Heart
Molding Hearts of Stone into Hearts of Flesh
Mission & Vision
It is the mission of Mold the Heart to present the professional work of singer/songwriter Michelle—sharing her life stories, biblical beliefs, and deep faith in Jesus Christ primarily through music, but also via speaking and media. Michelle's music includes storytelling, teaches principles and values, offers comfort, hope, and joy, all while giving glory to God.
Michelle’s vision through Mold the Heart is to transform hearts all over the world with wholesome and high quality songs that relate to all aspects of human life, promote biblical values, and ultimately point to Jesus Christ as the hope for mankind.
Values
Mold the Heart music will aim to align with the values of God's Word, exclusively glorifying the One True God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), never false idols or created things as God.
While Mold the Heart music may address topics like intimacy, addiction, or self-harm, like the Bible, it will only do so when necessary to teach truth, tell a story, or teach a principle. It will never glorify sin for the sake of glorifying sin (e.g., sexual immorality, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, lust, murder, theft, greed, self-harm, drunkenness, etc).
Mold the Heart music will use the least explicit words possible without compromising the witness and will avoid cussing, profanity, vulgar jokes, or using the Lord's name in vain.
Its purpose is to inspire righteous living, offer a safe, comforting harbor for pain, provide God's love without contradicting sanctification, proclaim good news, bind up the brokenhearted, bring liberty to captives, and produce mercy, justice, and compassion, turning hearts of stone into hearts of flesh.
