Jessica Carey

Jess Carey is the award-winning author of "Chart a Course - Taking a Journey With God at the Helm." She co-authored the devotional journal, "Unshakable Peace in an Unsteady World." She holds a certificate of pastoral ministry from Hillsong Leadership College as well as a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree from New York University. She and her husband Alex have moved more than eight times across over 11,000 miles in the past decade, including a stint internationally. From acting in New York to running a business overseas, she has consistently stepped into the unknown. She has always been a dreamer forced to overcome a perfectionist’s fear of failure. Risk didn’t come naturally but it has been woven into the fabric of her life.

Her life is marked by building family, faith, church, and community. Her heart is to see every person living in the God-calling and purposes for which they were created. She firmly believes God doesn't call us to comfort, He calls us to courage. Chart a Course was her maiden voyage as an author and it recounts her own journey from living a life adrift to surrendering it all to God as her captain. She guides the reader through the storms of life with relevant examples and biblical truth. Her latest endeavor was to partner with Milk & Honey books to publish a devotional focused on having unshakable peace. The devtional recounts twelve personal stories of finding peace in the chaos. Jess' prayer is that every reader will find themselves among the pages and renew their hope and faith in Jesus.
