Our Fresh Fire Speakers

Meet Jessica, she has a passion for souls that burns white hot and a fire shut up in her bones that makes her contend for a genuine move of God for her generation. Jessica is an evangelist and prophetic writer on her and her husband’s social media page, “Simply Jecker,” that God is using to reach thousands of people daily. Jessica was born and raised in church, but after years of sitting in a pew, she found herself feeling numb. Like many teens, she began straying from the straight and narrow, seeking something religion couldn’t satisfy in her. The path of rebellion eventually led to her doubting if God was real, suicidal thoughts and depression. In her lowest moment, Jessica cried out to a God she wasn’t even sure existed, and He heard her and He answered her. At 19 years old, Jessica had a radical experience with Jesus Christ that brought her to her knees and broke the spirit of religion. God poured out His love on her in a way she had never experienced and from that moment on, she was convinced that if someone could simply have an encounter with God, it could change everything in their lives.
