About Jessica
Speaker
Jessica Wall is a conference speaker and an author (soon to be). She has a heart to share her story with the world to bring hope to the hopeless. Hearing Jessica share her story, you’ll learn she is vulnerable, authentic, and inspirational.
Serving in Marriage Ministry through her church, Jessica and her husband, Austin, ministered to couples who found themselves desperate for change. Couples who felt disconnected or walking through difficult situations, often connected to Jessica through her own experiences.
Jessica shares her story in ways that can connect to both men and women. Married, single, divorced. Health journeys, addictions, forgiveness, depression, and affairs. She speaks to varied audiences at a variety of conferences and events.
Behind the Scenes
Jessica grew up bouncing between her mom and her dad who divorced when she was about 3 years old. Her family history is riddled with alcohol addiction, drug use, depression and toxic relationships.
She met her husband, Austin, at a bar in Fort Worth, Texas in 1999. They married in May 2000 at the ages of 21 and 22 and like many young couples, they struggled. But when Austin was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in January 2003, their marriage was put on the back burner as they navigated chemotherapy and radiation, plus wrangling a 16 month old baby. Over the next 10 years, their journey took them through alcohol addiction, depression, pornography addiction, thoughts of suicide, and affairs.
Jessica found herself struggling within her marriage and wondering “Is this truly as good as it gets?” The one thing she knew is that she would not divorce Austin. She didn’t want her son to grow up in two separate houses like she had to. Out of desperation, she prayed her husband would die. God answered her prayer, in a plot twist.
Using parts of her broken story, Jessica pieces together God’s word in a way that will relate to everyone. Married to her husband, Austin, for over twenty-four years, they have walked through many deep valleys including a terminal cancer diagnosis, alcohol and pornography addiction, depression, and affairs. She shares her story so that people don’t just believe in God, she shares it so they can know God. Austin and Jessica live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, where Jessica shares their story of hope and inspiration as often as possible. She is mom to son, Shane, (and future daughter-in-love, Dri) and fur baby pup, Cooper, and enjoys time at the lake with her family.
