Last weekend, we gathered in four beautiful cities—Laurel, Mississippi; Huntsville, Alabama; Joelton, Tennessee; and Louisville, Kentucky—and in each place, God met us in such personal and powerful ways.

I had the joy of teaching on what it means to live with an eternal perspective, remembering that earth is short and Heaven is long. That truth changes everything, my friend! It steadies us. It lifts our eyes.

The amazing (and ageless) women of Point of Grace led us in worship, and I am telling you, they brought Heaven down. When they sang their newest song, “The Night Will Be No More,” there was not a dry eye in the room.

It was more than a song—it was a glimpse, a reminder of what Scripture points us toward: a coming day with no more tears, no more darkness, and no more need for light because the night will truly be no more.

And Shaun Groves—oh, how he can tell a story, right?! He stirred our hearts. He helped us see how the hope of Heaven is not just something we wait for, but something we can extend right now to children around the world through Compassion International. And as a result, dozens and dozens of children were released from poverty in Jesus’ name. Praise the Lord!

Then after intermission came the fragrance…

When that scent of flowers filled the room, every woman knew! We had just caught a whiff of Heaven, reminding us we are almost home.

And the women in every city? Incredible. The volunteers? Exceptional. And our local event coordinators—Shandra, Lexi, Angela, Julie, and Jennifer? Well, those women were phenomenal.

There was unity, joy, community, peace—and yes, lots of laughter!

Many thanks to the incredible team at Compassion International for making all of this possible! Our whole team is so grateful for every crew member, every volunteer, and every church that opened their doors and hearts to serve women. Oh, what a foretaste of “glory divine”!

Want to know where the Tour is heading next? We’ll be in Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky in the fall with a few other cities left to be finalized, so stay tuned! Or if you’d prefer, you can request to receive updates here.

Blessings,

Jennifer and the Team

From Celebration Church in Blountville, Tennessee to First Baptist Spartanburg in South Carolina … to First Baptist Sevierville in Tennessee and First Redeemer in Cumming, Georgia—over 4,000 women gathered together to celebrate, learn, and laugh.

This was the very first Hope of Heaven Tour ever, and WOW—you could feel it! There was anticipation, expectancy, and a sweetness in the room that is hard to put into words.

One of the most special elements was the immersive environment created by author and visual artist Stephen Proctor. With images surrounding us—not just on the screen, but on the walls and even the ceiling—it felt like we were stepping into something beyond ourselves. Many of you said this was one of the most unique experiences you’ve ever had.

And personally, when I came back in after the break, there was a moment when something stirred in my heart and reminded me… I was almost home.

What stood out most, though, was YOU!

So many of you shared how deeply you felt connected, not only to what was being said from the stage, but to one another. There was warmth, laughter, honesty, and a beautiful sense of shared hope. Generations sat side by side—mothers, daughters, granddaughters—and groups of friends who came expecting something special left saying it was worth every mile traveled.

Some of you came with heavy stories! You told me about losing your 21-year-old daughter, about walking through a terminal diagnosis with someone you love, and about the quiet longing you are carrying—and that we all carry—to be reunited with those we miss so deeply.

The truth we held onto together—that earth is short and Heaven is long—will keep holding you together, my friend.

Shaun Groves led us in worship, and one of my favorite moments was the movement from Agnus Dei into the video! Wow! It felt like Heaven touching earth.

And Kelly Minter’s message was so powerful! She reminded us to consider the birds and to be completely aware of how our Heavenly Father knows what we need. I don’t know about you, but I cannot help but consider the birds and observe the flowers.

We also got to be part of something powerful through our partnership with Compassion International. There were 142 children released from poverty in Jesus’ name. That’s incredible!

I’ve been so blessed by sponsoring my precious Compassion child, Jodi, and if you sponsored this weekend, you are about to be so blessed too! You can trust Compassion International, and soon you’ll see what a difference you can make in that precious child’s life.

I loved meeting so many of you at the VIP Meet & Greet and at the signing table. Those conversations, those hugs … they matter more than I can say.

And then there are those incredible women who served as local coordinators at each stop—Leigh, Jeanette, Karen, Laura, and Catherine. God used you in ways that reached far beyond what you could see.

None of this would have been possible without the faithful support of Compassion International and our amazing tour team, who poured their hearts into every detail so that each night would be seamless, meaningful, and full of hope.

As Psalm 100:5 reminds us, “For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.” Thank You, Lord, for Your goodness and faithfulness.

We got a glimpse of the hope of Heaven, but we’re not done, sister! This was just the beginning!

Next up? Point of Grace will be joining me for the next segment of the tour that’s hitting the road in April. And this fall, we are heading to Virginia and North Carolina, and then into the great Midwest—including Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio.

Stay tuned for the specifics and request to receive updates here!

Blessings,

Jennifer and the Team

After 18 incredible years—and more than 160 weekend events—Fresh Grounded Faith is officially retiring at the end of 2025.

Now, I know what you’re thinking … Is she retiring? Is she done?

Nope, this girl isn’t done! Just our FGF weekends will be done. I’ll still be on the road at churches and events all over the country until the Lord tells me I’m done.

Only Fresh Grounded Faith weekends are retiring, and the reason is because the Lord is moving me to other things!

Very. Exciting. Things!

In fact, I can finally share with you that my team is creating and launching the Hope of Heaven Tour—an evening with Jennifer Rothschild and friends!
