It's not a position she would have ever picked, but it's a role that she has obediently embraced. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Though she admits she may not be the most sympathetic person, Jessica is a doer and a get-'er-done-r. She earned a master's degree in education from Grand Valley State University in 2015, walking the \u003cbr\u003e stage to accept the honor while seven months pregnant with her eighth child. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e She is also the founder and executive director of The Lucas Project, a nonprofit serving parent caregivers with recognition, respite, and resources, and hosts \u003ci\u003eCoffee with Caregivers\u003c\/i\u003e, a podcast where she chats with caregivers about the joys and trials of raising a child with complex needs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing from her experiences as a caregiver, Jessica produced the documentary \u003ci\u003eUnseen: How We're Failing Parent Caregivers \u0026amp; Why It Matters\u003c\/i\u003e, which aired on PBS in 2023. She is the creator of Hope Farm, a residential home for disabled adults, and author of \u003ci\u003eSunlight Burning at Midnight\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlended with Grit and Grace\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLovin' with Grit \u0026amp; Grace\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCaregiving with Grit and Grace\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jessica believes that faithful obedience is what we are called to do on this side of eternity, and as long as she remains faithful, the Lord will provide. She and her husband, Ryan, reside in Holland, Michigan, with their children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Broadstreet Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50891338645778,"sku":"9781424568413","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d28d102b-153c-4099-ba6a-cb2f174d26b1.jpg?v=1738168510","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/caregiving-with-grit-and-grace-100-days-of-hope-and-encouragement-9781424568413","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
