Cultivating authentic joy in ministry and life
“Be joyful, though you have considered all the facts.”
— Wendell Berry
Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. Authentic joy is what I’m pursuing, both for myself and for those I work with.
Joy and freedom; not an easy breezy, light hearted joy, but instead, a deep and abiding, rooted kind of joy. As Christians, we are offered this kind of grounded joy through our hope in the resurrection. But, sometimes, in this noisy world, it can be hard to step into. It can be hard to quiet the chaos, both from without and within, to experience what is truly real.
My mission is to help people quiet that noise so they can know a joy that has considered all the facts.

Words of Encouragement from Ministry Colleagues
Pastor’s Wife—USA
“Working with Jennifer was an incredible blessing during one of the most challenging seasons of my life in ministry and at home. As a pastor’s wife, the emotional and spiritual weight can be overwhelming, but having someone who truly understood those unique pressures made all the difference. She was not only compassionate and wise, but deeply supportive. She offered a safe place to process pain, trauma, and weariness. Jennifer’s guidance helped me navigate what I felt impossible, and I truly could not have managed the trauma we faced without her. Her support reminded me how vital it is to have trusted help when walking through the demands of ministry.”
Missionary—Haiti
“I was very blessed to have Jennifer Ziegler as a trauma coach after experiencing a traumatic event that left me with some PTSD. Her gentle and compassionate nature, as well as her expertise, along with the help of the Lord, helped me to find healing. I couldn't imagine a better counselor to have embarked on that journey with during such a vulnerable time. I am forever grateful.”
Pastor’s Wife—Australia
“I was privileged to do some personal counseling with Jennifer. It was invaluable to work through my personal issue in a safe, confidential, and understanding space. I truly think I am experiencing freedom from that particular issue now as I look backwards a few years later. As a pastor’s wife, I felt there was no one else I was able to share my issue with, as I am often in a position of supporting others and find it necessary to lay aside my own struggles in order to do that well. I have found it vital to seek out counselling and personal coaching to help me grapple with these more sensitive issues, so I can serve others without being distracted or hindered by my own baggage.”
