Healing and Identity Restored Through Christ

Meet Jessie Gruskievich

With years of ministry experience inside correctional facilities and churches, Jessie brings a rare depth of compassion and credibility to every stage and study. Her work centers on trauma-informed biblical healing, identity restoration, and redemption stories that reveal the transforming power of Christ.

“When I gave my life over to Him completely, I began to see the value and importance of an intimate relationship with the Lord, not just a knowledge of Him – but a true relationship.”

Jessie can be found on her weekly podcasts, or contacted for prayer and speaking engagements, and would be grateful for the opportunity to connect with you.

Podcaster

Jessie features real life testimonies from those in our own communities and beyond, exploring God’s love and character by looking at those around us. Inviting women to share their testimonies allows us to see Jesus in the lives around us, strengthens our own faith, and helps us find encouragement, whatever the situation or circumstance we might find ourselves in.

Conference Speaker

Through honest storytelling and a deep love for Christ, Jessie speaks to women about faith, resilience, and transformation, and sharing how God meets us in the middle of our struggles to shape our hearts and draw us closer to Him. Her hope is that every woman leaves encouraged, strengthened, and reminded that Christ’s love can redeem even the most difficult seasons.

Prison Chaplain

Jessie serves as a full time Prison Chaplain working with women who have been through horrific, traumatic events, often leaning into compassion and what the Lord has shown her through her own testimony. She’s been blessed to witness hundreds of women as they give their life over to Christ, break spiritual bonds, and begin walking a new journey with Him. 

Author

Drawing from her journey and hope in God’s love, Jessie will offer a message of courage, redemption, and faith in a powerful book and Bible study about healing and restoration through Christ after sexual trauma, reaching women seeking to move from pain to wholeness to show Christ’s grace and lead to freedom, strength, and renewed purpose.

Jersey

Jersey shares her beautiful story for only the SECOND time in public. At 14, she is incredibly strong, courageous and empathetic. This podcast will post exactly six years from her first coming to our family. What a journey!

Sarah

Sarah and Jessie explore the (sometimes) gap present between “I sought the Lord” and “he heard me” in Psalm 34:4. Join the two as they dive into life with Jesus at the center and how they used the gap in their own lives to come to starting this podcast.

A Heart for Mentoring, Encouraging, and Serving Others

What others say about us often mirrors the character we have cultivated over time—our actions, integrity, and the way we treat others quietly shape the reputation that follows us. When we live with sincerity and consistency, those words reflect the values we uphold and serve as a testament to the Christ we reveal through our actions. Connecting with other women through our shared bond in Christ amplifies this testimony, creating a space where faith, encouragement, and understanding can grow, reminding us that we are not meant to walk our spiritual journeys alone and that God’s glory shines through the way we live and love.

“Jessie truly embodies what it means to be a Sister in Christ. She is deeply invested in pouring into others, encouraging them, and helping them grow in their calling.”

-Katlin Wajeel

“She brings people together in a way that encourages real spiritual growth, connection, and support. I’m truly grateful for the impact her podcast and ministry have had on me.”

-Samantha Jones
