Jessica DeYoung - Speaker and Author

About Jessica

Jessica DeYoung is an author, speaker, and founder of Made Whole, a ministry that helps Christian women move from brokenness to wholeness in Christ. Her teaching blends honest storytelling, biblical truth, and the warmth of a trusted friend.

Since answering God's call in 2017, Jessica has reached thousands of women through her book, community, and live events, guiding them to release shame, rebuild confidence, and rediscover who they are in God's eyes.

She and her family travel full-time across the United States in their converted RV, bringing Made Whole to churches, retreats, and conferences across the country and is also available for virtual events.

She also hosts the "Perspectives Into Practice" podcast, where she shares faith-filled conversations and practical encouragement to help women live out biblical wholeness in their everyday lives.

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

"May God Himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, spirit, soul, and body. The One who called you is completely dependable. If He said it, He'll do it."

The Story of Made Whole

Made Whole was born from a simple, trembling yes. In 2017, during a quiet time with the Lord, Jessica sensed His still, small voice calling her to write and to speak. It made no earthly sense. She was teaching childbirth classes, serving as a doula, and had just invested in midwifery school, but obedience felt undeniable.

Through years of patient preparation, the Lord shaped a message: God doesn't just heal parts of us; He makes us whole, spirit, soul, and body.

Today, Jessica's messages create safe, Spirit-led spaces where women encounter God's presence, release shame, and practice Christ-centered vulnerability. Women often say her talks feel "like sitting next to a friend," yet they carry the weight of Scripture and the power of practical application.

Signature Speaking Topics

Your audience will be deeply ministered to through messages like these

Made Whole: Healing the Hidden Places

Freedom • Redemption • Identity in Christ

Every woman carries stories with tender, unfinished edges. This foundational message invites women to meet the God who restores what's been broken. Rooted in 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, Jessica helps women see that wholeness isn't perfection, it's letting Jesus touch every part of life.

Takeaways:

  • God's design for full healing, spirit, soul, and body
  • How to release shame and receive grace
  • Seeing your story through the lens of redemption
  • Confidence to live as God's beloved

From Striving to Stillness

Rest • Surrender • Trust

Exhaustion isn't a spiritual gift. Jessica teaches women to trade performance and people-pleasing for a life anchored in God's presence. Through Scripture and simple spiritual rhythms, attendees learn to slow down, breathe, and let God lead.

Takeaways:

  • Name and replace patterns of striving
  • Practices that restore rather than deplete
  • Trusting God with what you can't control
  • Peace that isn't tied to performance

Wholehearted Living: Life from a Place of Wholeness

Purpose • Boundaries • Joy

A practical, hope-filled call to align everyday life with God's truth. Women learn to set wise boundaries, protect their peace, and step into joyful, intentional living.

Takeaways:

  • Clarify God-given priorities and identity
  • Boundaries that protect calling and community
  • Replacing burnout with balance and joy
  • Courage to move forward in freedom

Peace Over Perfection

Grace • Identity • Authentic Faith

Perfectionism is loud; grace is steady. Jessica exposes the lie of 'not enough,' guiding women to rest in who they are in Christ rather than who they're trying to be.

Takeaways:

  • Spot the roots of perfectionism and comparison
  • Biblical confidence that quiets the inner critic
  • Choosing grace over guilt in daily life
  • Joy that grows from abiding in Jesus

Your Story Matters: Redeeming Your Voice and Purpose

Calling • Courage • Testimony

God uses imperfect stories to display perfect faithfulness. This message helps women trace God's redemptive thread in their lives and share their testimonies with wisdom and courage.

Takeaways:

  • Recognize purpose in every season
  • Overcome fear and step into influence
  • Share your story to heal and help others
  • Lead and live authentically
