HERE I AM STORIES with Kim Zember

Raised in brokenness, Jessica Rose longed for a better life—a family, stability, the “American Dream.” By 2015, she had stepped into the role of “man” of the family, and in 2017 became a “step-dad.” But behind the image, she battled deep pain and regret. “I’m too deep into this. I don’t know how to turn back,” she thought before attempting suicide in 2019. That moment became a turning point. After surviving and spending time in a mental hospital, Jessica realized: “I must’ve been kept here for a reason.” A few months later, she gave her life to Jesus Christ. What followed was a journey from brokenness to healing, from shame to grace. Today, Jessica is living proof of God’s relentless love and the power of redemption.
