My guest for episode 11 of the podcast is Jessie Winters. Jessie is a creative and passionate mentor, teacher, choreographer, coach, and mother. She wants to see the Holy Spirit move mightily in the Arts. In our conversation, you’ll get to hear more about her heart for the nations, the musical theatre community, and the special needs community.

My favorite part of our conversation was hearing Jessie’s stories of faith and God moving in incredible ways! She shares about motherhood, homeschooling on the road, and following God’s calling together as a family. Jessie and her husband Clayton (our guest on episode 10) now live in Fairfield, CT, where Jessie is the prayer ministry leader at their church. She is passionate about intercession, community, and allowing their home to be a sanctuary for those living in NYC.

I love Jessie’s reminder that while we tend to think we have to promote ourselves, God calls us to rest in His timing, worship, and watch as He opens the doors of opportunity. When He does call you to big things, don’t be afraid. Know that you are equipped and that He is with you!
