For the past 15 years, Jaclyn has served in various local church leadership roles from preaching and teaching to training leaders, and serving on her local church leadership council. A significant shift in her ministry took place over the last decade of deep processing, refining, pruning and preparation. Through that process, the Lord established and commissioned her into her apostolic call, making evident her burden to strengthen and mature the Bride of Christ.

 

Jaclyn’s leadership journey began at an early age in athletics and continued as a Division I basketball player at Brown University where she majored in Psychology. She began her career at ESPN, where she often found herself informally providing counsel to leaders throughout the organization, where in her eyes, she was just telling them the truth. Those experiences led her to become a certified life coach before transitioning into Human Resources, where she pioneered a leadership development function in HR that ultimately led to her coaching C-suite executives and senior leaders within a global corporation. In rooms full of leaders, Jaclyn's focus was always the people behind the titles-- not becoming "better leaders".

 

At the same time, she recognized many of the same leadership dynamics within the Church that she had encountered in the sports world and corporate America—cultures often shaped by hierarchy, power, and performance. Those observations awakened a deep burden to bring reformation to church leadership, as she was once a leader who needed that reform in her own heart. 

 

Marked by her own healing and deliverance, Jaclyn carries a governmental maternal grace for the Church, laboring to see God’s people seated in sonship—healed, delivered, matured, and equipped to walk in the authority and freedom found in Christ. She has a particular burden to see the Western Church move into the revelation of embodying Christ in every day life. 

 

Jaclyn serves churches as a trusted support to leaders and congregations— providing corporate and personal counsel and insight, navigating and fostering healthy relational dynamics, relational team trainings, and apostolic and prophetic direction to bring alignment with God.  She is known for preaching biblical truth with clarity, conviction, and love, while creating space for people to genuinely encounter the Holy Spirit through healing, deliverance, prophetic ministry, and transformative encounters that lead to greater freedom, wholeness, and intimacy with God.

 

Jaclyn and her husband, Taber, along with their three children, reside in Maryland, where the Jesus Over Yourself regional hub is being established. While she ministers throughout the United States as the Lord leads, she considers her first ministry to be her home, where she homeschools, and believes her greatest discipleship responsibility begins with her own arrows.
