As a disciple-maker, wilderness guide, and ordained minister, Jessie has trained thousands of people how to survive when their life depended on it. She earned a Master’s degree in experiential education at Harvard to learn how the brain works to help people train more effectively.

The key to discipleship is not more information, but learning how to create intentional environments where people can learn and grow, by working with the brain and treating individuals as whole persons. What she discovered is God wired our brains for transformation.

She lives in Denver, running rivers with her husband.
