Shelly Miller is a speaker, author, and spiritual mentor who is passionate about helping individuals cultivate a deeper relationship with God through rest, renewal, and rhythms of grace. As an advocate for spiritual formation and intentional living, Miller’s work encourages people to create space for quiet reflection and Sabbath rest in the midst of busy lives.

Shelly earned her Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Central Florida, and her early career included roles in publishing and ministry. Over time, her desire to encourage others in their spiritual walk led her to become a writer, speaker, and coach. She has written extensively about the importance of spiritual rest, writing for outlets such as The Huffington Post, inCourage, and (in)Courage. Her writing often reflects her own journey of embracing Sabbath and slowing down, sharing practical insights and personal stories to help others reconnect with God.

Her most well-known work, Sabbath in the Suburbs: A Family’s Experiment with Holy Time, offers a candid look at her family’s experiment with keeping a weekly Sabbath, exploring the challenges and rewards of practicing rest in the midst of a fast-paced, 24/7 culture. Through her writing, Shelly shares a vision for what it means to live intentionally, embracing Sabbath as a way to draw nearer to God and nurture relationships with others.

Shelly is also known for her deep commitment to mentoring others in their spiritual journeys, offering guidance and support as they explore the transformative power of rest. She leads retreats, facilitates workshops, and speaks at conferences on the topics of Sabbath, spiritual growth, and rest.

Shelly lives in Colorado with her husband and two children, where she continues to write, speak, and inspire others to embrace Sabbath and experience the fullness of life with God.
