Join us today as Jessica shares her incredible journey of survival, faith, and rediscovery. From enduring abuse and neglect in childhood, to navigating betrayal and brokenness in her first marriage, Jessica’s path has been marked by pain but also by resilience. Her years of ministry work in Thailand shaped her perspective on faith, culture, and perseverance. Even as she faced isolation, spiritual abuse, and the heavy responsibility of raising children overseas.

After making the courageous decision to leave an unhealthy marriage, Jessica returned to the U.S., determined to create a better future for herself and her children. Through faith, somatic healing, and learning to challenge fear with truth, Jessica has embraced freedom, found her voice, and stepped into her calling as both a healer and a survivor.

Her story is a powerful reminder that God’s heart is for His daughters, healing is possible, and freedom is worth fighting for.
