Welcome to jessiecolwell.com! I started this website in order to share resources like blog posts and sermons in the hopes that they would be encouraging and uplifting to others.

I took a long hiatus from managing this site as I transitioned into a new role, but I am ready to start posting more often and learning from what you all have to share!

So friends, I hope you find hope and light today!

Publications

New in 2025

Jessie and her writing partner, Rev. Dr. Teresa Angle-Young wrote a book called “Creation’s Call: A Lenten Guide to Spiritual Renewal.” This book is great for those who need a break from technology. It gets you outside and fosters time to study the Bible, prepare for Lent, and practice spiritual disciplines in a new way. It is great for church-wide or individual studies.

It was published by Market Square Books and can be found online at Amazon and through Market Square Books here: https://www.marketsquarebooks.com/store/p129/Creation%E2%80%99s_Call%3A_A_Lenten_Guide_to_Spiritual_Renewal.html

Jessie’s first book “Blessed Wrestling: Biblical Reflections on Discerning God’s Call” came out in the fall of 2021. In this book, Jessie goes through many biblical call stories in the Bible, shares her own story about call, and shares many of the call stories of her colleagues and friends. I hope this book is a blessing to all who experience this blessed wrestling we call discerning. For more information about the book you can go to http://www.blessedwrestling.com.

You can order the book on Amazon, Cokesbury, or through Barnes and Noble. It will soon be reprinted and re-released by Abingdon Press.
