Juliette Spurling

“Jess is an incredible gift to the body of Christ! She is dynamic, genuine, engaging, anointed, and authoritative in her faith, and her love for & knowledge of the Word of God is an inspiration.”

Rachel S.

“We were fortunate enough to schedule Jess to come and speak at our church. Her presentation, "Finding Pleasure in the Pivot," was perfect for our group. She was such a joy to listen to. She was dynamic, animated, fun, and yet...personal, relatable, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. She didn't JUST give great practical tips and perspective - she intertwined God's word-specific scripture and connected the content. I just hope we can find another reason for her to come back to encourage and lift up our moms through God's Word.”
