Jen is known for her warm vulnerability, understanding people’s felt needs, and how the Gospel informs restorative, Spirit-filled living.
It won’t take you long to resonate with Jen’s undeniable love for crazy family adventures, and her random acts of laughter are sure to make her messages meaningful and memorable.
Honest, Scripture-rooted messages for women in the middle of the story. Each one can be shaped to your event’s theme.
When life didn’t turn out the way you prayed it would, God hasn’t left the room. An honest look at grief, hope deferred, and the God who meets us there.
For the quiet drift, when faith feels like watching from behind glass. Why distance isn’t proof that He moved, and how to come near again.
Not another to-do list. Small, sustainable rhythms that make room for God: Holy Initiatives to grow toward and Radical Shifts to release.
From 1 Peter: a hope that holds when circumstances don’t. Practical, grace-filled encouragement for women carrying more than they expected.
Working your way out of brokenness. Working your way into belonging. Most of us are doing both, and we’re exhausted. An honest look at striving, shame, and the grace that meets you in both places.
From Jen’s Spiritual Enrichment Week at Judson University: why we confuse loving everyone with truly belonging, and how to receive a belonging you can’t earn.
A few recent messages, so you can get a feel for Jen’s heart and style before you reach out.
