“The more that I look to God in everything, the more peace I have.” – Jessica L. Morris

“The more that I look to God in everything, the more peace I have.” – Jessica L. Morris

Today’s featured author is a wife, poet, blogger, and spiritual director, Jessica L. Morris. Jessica and I have a fun on a bun chat about her book, “Higher Powered: One Woman’s Journey of Personal Eschatology”, her journey from a traumatic childhood in a dysfunctional family to overcoming food and alcohol addiction, and more!!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

How her father's words made her feel like a mistake and shaped her identity

What led to Jessica’s spiritual awakening after having suicidal thoughts

Why daily prayer and gratitude are important

What inspired Jessica to become an author

How writing can serve as a beacon of hope and guidance for others on their path to recovery
