My life wasn't gloomy before. But was I in the glory of God? No, I was not. Those are Jess the Best's words.  In 18 months, this woman went from opening a Bible for the first time to having a face-to-face encounter with Jesus in the shower, standing in peace while her husband nearly flat-lined, and declaring revival in the middle of the hardest season of her life. This episode is not just a testimony. It is a fire starter.  In This Episode You'll Learn: * How Jess went from reading her Bible for the first time to finishing it cover to cover in one year * What happened in the four hours without a phone at the Inner Circle retreat that changed everything * The moment Jess surrendered on the white couch and got black mascara all over it * The shower encounter where Jesus appeared and said "Lay hands on your husband and he will be healed" * What it looked like to stand in perfect peace while her husband nearly flat-lined in the cancer ward * Why she turned "I'm in survival mode" into "I'm in revival" and showed up to the next call in a Revival hat * How Jess went from almost canceling the retreat to having the greatest transformation in the room * What she tells the mom who wants to raise faith-filled kids but doesn't know where to start * Why from gloom to glory is the most powerful four-word transformation story she has ever heard If you’re ready to scale with the right people around you, explore the For His Glory CEO Inner Circle.
