I’m honored to share a heartfelt conversation with Jade Mitchell, a woman whose life story is a testament to faith, perseverance, and divine appointments. Jade’s journey, from growing up in a faith-filled household to encountering God through divine moments and divine people, offers encouragement and inspiration for all of us walking our own faith paths.

A Foundation Built on Faith

Jade’s story begins in a family deeply rooted in rodeo and faith. Her parents are cutting horse trainers, and she grew up in an environment where faith was a cornerstone. Her grandmother, a strong woman of faith, had a profound influence on her, instilling in her a sense of identity as a child of God. One pivotal moment was when Jade met her substitute teacher, Miss Devin, in eighth grade. Miss Devin’s faith and perspective on life and eternity opened Jade’s eyes to a new understanding of her faith. Despite Miss Devin’s passing from cancer, her influence remained, especially through her prayer journal filled with prayers for Jade’s family—an unseen yet powerful testament to the impact of prayer and faith.


Divine Appointments and Divine Encouragement

Throughout her life, Jade has experienced divine appointments—people God placed in her life at just the right moments. From her grandmother and teacher to fellow rodeo family like Hope Thompson and Lari Dee Guy, each person helped shape her faith and her journey. For Jade, sharing her story is vital because everyone’s testimony matters. She emphasizes that your story doesn’t have to be extraordinary to be meaningful. God has a purpose for each of us, and our stories—big or small—are part of His divine plan.

Walking by Faith, Not by Sight

One of Jade’s powerful lessons is about listening to God’s guidance. She recounts a story of asking God for a sign in the form of a blue truck during a Bible study, and how God responded in unexpected, beautiful ways. These moments reinforced her trust that God’s timing is perfect and that He speaks to us in ways we can recognize if we’re quiet enough to hear. Jade reminds us that faith isn’t just believing in what we see, but trusting what God says in His Word. Walking by faith requires patience and obedience, especially when the path gets difficult. She shares how her summer of struggles in rodeo was a period of growth, where she learned to listen more closely to God’s voice and trust His plan even when it’s not immediately clear.


The Power of Prayer and Community

Jade encourages believers to surround themselves with Godly people—those who will speak truth and Scripture into their lives. She advocates for the importance of community, prayer, and being vulnerable enough to lean on others in tough times. Whether through Bible studies, prayer groups, or simply confiding in a trusted friend, these connections strengthen our faith and keep us grounded.

Living with a “Jesus Crown

A vivid image Jade shares is walking with a “Jesus crown” on her head—an invisible sign for others to see Christ’s presence in her life. This crown symbolizes confidence, faith, and the testimony that Christ lives within us. When we walk with this assurance, even in trials, we can face life boldly, knowing that God is with us.

Encouragement for the Journey

Jade’s story underscores that God has a divine purpose for each of us. Even when life is tough, and the promises seem delayed, we must keep going. Her own experiences—divine signs, victories, and setbacks—have taught her to trust in His timing and to hold onto His promises.She emphasizes that even in seasons of waiting or difficulty, God is working behind the scenes. Our role is to stay rooted in faith, listen for His voice, and keep moving forward. We are called to be leaders—light bearers—in our families, communities, and workplaces.


Final Words of Inspiration

Jade encourages everyone to seek out those divine appointments, to nurture their faith, and to remember that God’s Word is unchanging and true. When in doubt, sit in silence, breathe, and listen. God speaks to us in those quiet moments, guiding our steps and reaffirming our purpose.Her closing advice? Be the leader God has called you to be. Embrace your divine purpose, walk boldly with Christ, and wear your “Jesus crown” with confidence. Because with God, nothing is impossible.
