In this powerful episode recorded live at the 2025 Salvation Army Commissioning event, we hear a heartfelt testimony from Gessica Pierre, a Salvation Army officer, and her spiritual mentor, Gloria Diavangama. What starts as a story about gratitude quickly unfolds into a practical masterclass on what authentic discipleship looks like — not in theory, but in real homes, real relationships, and real-life chaos.
Whether you're leading teens, parenting, or just trying to live a more consistent faith, this conversation delivers raw, relatable wisdom that will both challenge and encourage you.
Key Takeaways:
- Discipleship isn’t a program — it’s a presence.
Gloria’s most impactful ministry didn’t happen at a pulpit; it happened in her home, her car, and through consistent presence in Jessica’s life.
- Authenticity is transformative.
Jessica’s faith was reshaped when she saw that Christianity wasn’t a performance — it was something that could thrive even in the hard, messy parts of life.
- Teens don’t need a perfect example — they need a real one.
From seeing a healthy marriage to being lovingly corrected, Jessica shares how being included in everyday life helped her internalize spiritual truths.
- Legacy leadership happens when we invest deeply in a few.
Gloria’s intentional discipleship of Jessica eventually bore fruit not just in Jessica’s life, but in the lives Jessica now pours into as an officer, wife, and mom.
Reflection Questions:
- Who invited you into their life in a way that shaped your faith?
- What are simple ways you can create “access points” in your daily life for younger believers?
- Are you modeling a faith that’s real enough for others to want to follow?
