Her forthcoming book, "Absolute Resolve," chronicles her transformative journey and provides readers with practical tools to overcome anxiety and embrace abundant freedom. Drawing from her own experiences, Jessie teaches readers how to identify and replace deeply rooted lies with the liberating truth found in God's Word.
Passionate about supporting individuals dealing with mental health challenges, Jessie's book serves as an introductory resource for those seeking inner healing in small groups, churches, and individual settings. By applying her "Stop - Look - Listen" approach, readers can uncover and address the lies they believe, paving the way for personal growth and a hopeful future.
Jessie's remarkable journey has been shared on various platforms, including her recurring guest appearances on the Vinelife Ministry show of the Fishbowl Radio Network. She is eager to continue sharing her story and the tools that have empowered her to find greater freedom and abundance.
