I was a victim of childhood sexual abuse by someone I was meant to trust. The trauma left deep emotional and spiritual wounds that shaped how I saw myself, others, and even God. For years, I lived in fear, shame, silence, and survival mode—questioning my worth, struggling to trust people, and wondering if healing was even possible.
Everything began to change when I stopped trying to carry it alone and invited Jesus into every part of my pain and healing journey. Through counseling, prayer, and a growing relationship with Christ, I discovered freedom, restoration, and hope I never thought possible.
“…the healing truly began when I laid it all down at his feet and asked Him into every area of my life.”
Today, I have the privilege of helping other survivors find healing and reminding people that no story is beyond redemption. If you are hurting, please know this: you are not alone, God has not abandoned you, and healing is possible.

Testimonials truly speak volumes about Jessie’s genuine heart for serving others and her unwavering commitment to glorifying God in all that she does. These heartfelt endorsements highlight not only her dedication but also the profound impact she has on those around her through her faith-driven actions and compassionate spirit.
Being part of the Hold Up to Hallelujah community has been such a blessing in my life. The podcast is an incredible outreach and hearing stories from people from all walks of life and seeing how God has moved in their lives is both powerful and encouraging. Every episode reminds me that none of us are alone in our struggles and that God is always at work behind the scenes.
The community gatherings are just as impactful. There is such a strong sense of fellowship, and you can truly feel God in the room. Every event I’ve attended has felt calm, uplifting, and filled with genuine connection.
When I listen to Chaplain Jessie speak, it often feels like she is speaking directly to my heart. Her words are timely, honest, and Spirit led.
This community has strengthened my faith and reminded me that even in the “hold up” seasons of life, there is always a hallelujah on the other side. Thank you both so much! I truly appreciate you ALL!
Whether I’m listening to the podcast or leaving an event, I walk away feeling grateful, encouraged, and full of joy.
When Jessie invited me to speak on her podcast, I felt both excited and nervous. From the moment we started, she was so warm and welcoming that any nerves quickly disappeared. She created such a comfortable, Christ-centered space where we could openly talk about Jesus and share His Word.
Being able to share my testimony in that setting was incredibly meaningful and uplifting for me. I also attend the monthly Bible studies Jessie leads, and they have been such a blessing in my life. She brings people together in a way that encourages real spiritual growth, connection, and support. These studies provide a safe and faith-filled environment where so many of us are able to grow deeper in our walk with Christ.
I’m truly grateful for the impact her podcast and ministry have had on me.

A family member first introduced me to Jessie, and despite living in different states, we quickly became fast friends. When I felt called to begin ministering to those involved in the justice system in my state, Jessie generously took time out of her schedule to speak with me, share her experience, and guide me in the right direction. She even mailed me books and training manuals to help me get started—this gesture of kindness and support really shows her generous heart. 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. This heart for service flows directly from her love for the Lord, which is evident in every episode of her podcast and in everything she does.
I cannot recommend getting to know Jessie—or working with her—highly enough. She will sharpen, equip, and encourage you. Thank you, Jessie!
Jessie’s community nights bible study, podcast and prison ministry are truly making a difference in this world. Her compassion, strength, and faith is poured into every person she serves and it is inspiring, while creating a safe space for healing, growth, and restoration.
I’m so grateful to witness the integrity and heart behind her work and the lives being genuinely transformed by her.
