When God Says Go: Jasmine Jones on Obedience, Fatherhood, and Walking Away
On the Dear Son, Show, host Chris welcomes Jasmine Jones as the first in-studio guest for a Women’s series during March, discussing life through fatherhood. Jasmine shares how her book, “When God Says Go,” about leaving Chicago for Dallas, led to speaking opportunities and ultimately her own women’s conference, which exceeded her expectations. She reflects on growing up with married parents, a supportive father who served his community, and a later period of distance rooted in anger and trauma. Jasmine describes her relationships, including a marriage where she says a “mask” fell off and emotional abuse affected her and her children, prompting her to leave through prayer and faith. She explains her platform “Her Plus God,” its growth from a clothing brand to a faith community, and closes with encouragement to appreciate and forgive fathers.
