Jenna Schutt is a Christian speaker, author, pastor's wife, and founder of The Joy Reflex™, a faith-based ministry helping people renew their minds, strengthen their faith, and respond to life's challenges with biblical truth. Through engaging teaching, personal storytelling, and practical application, Jenna equips audiences to build spiritual muscle memory and return to God's promises when fear, uncertainty, and disappointment arise.
A former cardiac registered nurse and stem cell transplant survivor, Jenna brings a unique perspective shaped by both sides of the hospital bed. After facing a rare, incurable bone marrow disease, diagnosed at age 30, with both of her children still in diapers. She endured years of chemotherapy, multiple invasive procedures, and life-threatening complications, and eventually a bone marrow transplant; she discovered that resilient faith isn't built by avoiding difficult circumstances but through the daily practice of trusting God in the middle of them. Her message reaches far beyond illness, encouraging and empowering anyone navigating change, adversity, leadership challenges, or unexpected seasons of life.
Jenna speaks at Christian women's conferences, church gatherings, and ministry events. Her teaching has also reached audiences through Christian television, radio, and YouVersion Bible plans. She is a YouVersion Content Partner and a COMPEL Pro writing winner, with an Encouragement for Today devotional scheduled for publication through Proverbs 31 Ministries in 2027. Literary agent Blythe Daniel represents her as she works toward traditional publication of her first book.
Known for combining biblical depth, relatable stories, and actionable takeaways, Jenna helps audiences move beyond momentary inspiration toward lasting transformation. Whether speaking to women, ministry leaders, or church communities, she aims to equip people to practice faith before fear, peace before panic, and joy in every season.
