Rev. Sylvia Bills — Release Me Ministry

Her Story

Called. Shaped. Released.

A life surrendered to God — and a ministry born from every question, struggle, and breakthrough along the way.

These pages were written to remind you: God's love is not waiting on your perfection. His grace and power are not postponed until you "get it together."

Rev. Sylvia Bills has spent decades in the intersection of faith, community, and the kind of honest ministry that doesn't look away from hard things. Her calling didn't come wrapped neatly — it came through midnight questions, sacred struggles, unexpected assignments, and the slow, sure work of God shaping a vessel for His use.

As Associate Minister at Historic Tanner Chapel A.M.E. Church in Phoenix, Arizona, she brings to every pulpit and every page what she has learned in the valley as much as the mountaintop. Her teaching is rooted in Scripture, shaped by experience, and delivered with the pastoral warmth of someone who has truly been there.

She is the founder of Release Me Ministry — a global digital ministry dedicated to guiding believers through the transformative journey from bondage to boldness in Christ. And she is the author of Release Me: A Spiritual Journey from Bondage to Boldness in Christ — a book she describes not as a collection of sermons, but as an altar.

She writes and teaches for the wanderer, the worshiper, and the weary. For the ones who have prayed and wondered if God was still listening. For the ones who cried "Release Me" — and meant it.

"

Within these pages are echoes of messages that were lived before they were preached.
