About Marisa
Welcome!
Marisa Claudine has a passion for bringing women together over a cup of coffee, a sweet treat, and heartfelt conversations that go beneath the surface. With her contagious love for the Lord and life, Marisa leads and mentors women, inspiring them to cultivate an intimate relationship with their Father God.
Marisa's ministry is grounded not only in personal experience, but in ongoing study. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology: Christian Counseling and a Graduate Certificate in Theology, and she is currently pursuing her Master's degree in Biblical Studies at Liberty University - training that deepens her ability to walk alongside women with both a compassionate heart and a sound, Scripture-rooted foundation.
Deeply committed to supporting those who feel lost, stagnant, or quietly worn out in their walk with Christ, Marisa brings that same loving, compassionate heart into every conversation she shares - never instructing from a distance but walking alongside the women she's come to know and love. Join her for soulful connections, gentle encouragement, and authentic conversations that will take you on a journey of healing, hope, and intimacy with God - one cup at a time.
Vision
why I'm here
To see a community of women deeply rooted in Christ, flourishing through an abiding relationship with Him, growing in biblical wisdom, and bearing lasting fruit that impacts their homes, churches, and communities for God's glory.
My Mission
The Mission
one cup at a time...
Share what it looks like to stop striving and start abiding.
Inspire women toward intimacy with God, not performance for Him.
Provide a community where the tired and faithful are welcome exactly as they are.
Core Values
Biblical Truth
God's Word is our foundation. We are committed to teaching and encouraging others through Scripture, believing it is our ultimate authority for faith and life.
Simplicity
In a world full of distractions, we want to create space to slow down, spend time with Jesus, and focus on what matters most.
Christ-Centered
Jesus Christ is the heart of this ministry. Our desire is not to build a platform or point people to ourselves, but to point them to Him. Whether through devotionals, Bible studies, personal stories, or practical resources, our aim is to exalt Christ, encourage a deeper relationship with Him, and help others grow as faithful disciples. We believe lasting transformation comes not from self-improvement, but from abiding in Christ and allowing His Word to shape our hearts and lives. .
Spiritual Growth
Our desire is to encourage believers to know God more deeply, trust Him more fully, and walk faithfully with Him through the transforming power of His Word.
Authenticity
Faith isn't about having it all together. We seek to share honestly about life's joys, struggles, and God's faithfulness through every season.
Hope
No matter the circumstances, our hope is anchored in Jesus Christ. We desire to remind others of His faithfulness, His promises, and the eternal hope found in Him.

More about Marisa
Getting to Know Her
the coffee on the porch version
Now that you know a little of my story, here's the rest of me - the everyday, coffee-on-the-porch version.
Marisa wakes up every morning excited to sit and talk with Jesus, while sipping on a hot cup of coffee. She cannot imagine starting her day without Him, as her time with Him helps her establish a rejoiceful mood and a mindset that is full of hope, peace, and love that keeps her feeling spiritually charged in faith as she goes throughout her day.
Marisa's top five coffee flavors include vanilla, cinnamon, caramel, hazelnut, and peppermint mocha but only during the holidays. Her go to coffee order is a large decaf latte with oat milk and two shots of sugar free vanilla.
Marisa's days are usually jammed packed with a 3-4 mile morning walk, work, writing, Bible studies with her husband Joe, an evening workout - if she's lucky - before passing out on the couch with her head on Joe's lap. Truly, it happens every evening.
Marisa enjoys cooking and baking for large groups but dreads coming up with dinner ideas for just her and Joe each evening. She is always on the search for new ideas and recipes.
If Marisa is not curled up in her favorite chair with her nose in a book, you can often find her outside enjoying nature. She enjoys trail walking, kayaking on the lake, and sitting by a bonfire as she and Joe search the night sky for shooting stars.
Marisa has a passion for learning and hopes that she never gets tired of discovering something new each day.
Marisa describes herself as far from perfect and will agree that on most days she is running behind or forgetting something, but she keeps her calm, laughs at herself often and just takes everything in stride...one cup at a time.
