Jill Sullivan: From Incarceration to Inspiration with Gwen's House

I feel like god has a specific plan for each one of our lives... it's already written what it is that he has for me to do while I'm on this planet.
What happens when a life seemingly derailed by incarceration turns into a mission of hope and redemption? Meet Jill Sullivan, a wife, mom, prison chaplain, and the driving force behind Gwen's House. In this episode of 'Anchored by the Sword', Jill opens up about her transformative journey from being incarcerated in 2001 to becoming a beacon of support for women re-entering society after prison. Her story is a testament to the power of faith and the impact of second chances.
During her time in prison, Jill found solace and purpose through her newfound faith in Christ. This spiritual awakening propelled her to not only change her own life but also to help others do the same. Gwen's House, the nonprofit she founded, offers housing, job opportunities, sober support, and mentoring to women transitioning back to Stark County. Jill's work is deeply personal and rooted in her belief that every woman deserves tailored support to rebuild their lives.
Throughout the episode, Jill shares how Gwen's House adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic, staying connected with incarcerated individuals through emails and DVDs. She highlights the importance of prayer and believing in healing, even in the most challenging situations. Jill's anchor verses, Jeremiah 29:11 and Psalm 139:16, serve as guiding lights in her mission. For those interested in supporting Gwen's House, Jill discusses ways the community can get involved, from volunteering to making donations.
Tune in to hear Jill Sullivan's incredible story of transformation and the vital work being done at Gwen's House on 'Anchored by the Sword'.
