Speaker Bio:
She has experienced healing from various traumas and experiences. Through this intentional process, several years of seeking emotional health and growth, she has found greater peace, joy, and freedom as a Christian by cultivating a life well-lived and a soul well-nourished with the giver of life.
Some of her life experiences include disordered eating, self-harm, depression, signs of PTSD, acute anxiety, date rape, and date rape resulting in pregnancy. In addition, she has fostered thirteen children in a period of fifteen months in a very unique living situation where her family was responsible for up to twelve children at a time.
As such, she is able to speak on a number of topics which may be of interest to your group. She is particularly interested in topics revolving around emotional health & how it ties to spiritual growth, soul-level healing, looking beyond behavior & circumstances, and how knowing Christ more helps us to rest in being known by Him.
She is passionate about seeing growth in the lives of believers and seeing the body of believers provide better care for one another. She believes freedom can be found in the powerful work of Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Finding the Courage to Face Fear & Live with Faith
Is fear holding you back from experiencing the peace, joy, and freedom Christ has for you? Jolene offers encouragement and heartfelt personal stories to share how you can move forward in your faith and break free from the fears holding you back from living with greater fullness because of Christ.
Keeping Yourself Refreshed in Christ
As Christians we often take on a lot of extra weight by trying to manage all of our external behaviors, and those of others. While outward management is vital in many ways, when it is done at the exclusion of internal transformation we’ll continue to experience limited results. Through the work of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, we’ll find our hearts refreshed from the inside out.
More topics coming soon in the areas of: emotional health, spiritual growth, freedom & healing in Christ, knowing Christ & being known by Christ in order to make Christ known, and more
