Breaking the Silence

Barbara A. F. Brehon, host

Michelle Jewsbury, guest

Growing up with a military father, Michelle Dewsbury lived in 4 or 5 different states. She wanted to become a movie star and moved to Hollywood, CA. After experiencing trauma, she wrote a play about it. “It’s not about what we go through, it’s about how we react…” She talks about turning adversities into movements. She once felt trapped, yet Michelle overcame her past after reading her own writing. She expressed herself in writing, thereby saying “yes” to what God wanted her to do. Look back and learn from your past. Stay consistent and persistent to accomplish your goals. Express yourself.

Michelle Jewsbury is an international philanthropist, speaker, author, and coach. In July 2017, Michelle founded Unsilenced Voices, a 501(c)3 nonprofit focused on inspiring change in communities around the globe by encouraging victims to break free and survivors to speak up about domestic violence and sexual assault. Her desire to help victims of domestic abuse came from personal experience in such a relationship. She has since completed and published her personal memoir, But I Love Him. Recognized as a valuable resource in the speaking industry, Michelle Jewsbury is the go to professional speaker who uses her story of survival as encouragement and motivation for others. With a confident yet calming approach, Michelle’s story makes a lasting impression on the audience and gives them the Power to Take Their Lives Back!

God inspired Andrena Phillips to get a few women to tell their stories to transform others’ lives. Men and women will be empowered reading BEYOND ADVERSITY: Chronicles of Trailblazing Women.

Erica Dantzler says she was surfing, riding the waves through her life storms, not liking the splashing or the wipeouts. Yet, she always knew she needed to give back to the community and stop masking. Eventually, honesty and truth became her surfboard.

Shannon Harrington addressed multiple layers of adversities. Upon reflection, she sees from God has brought her knowing that he is not through with her. In every season and through every adversity Father God is always covering her.

Jarvis Guthrie says that just like an addict chases the original high, “I’ve been chasing that same appetizer for God, to be full on Christ.” His ministry is focused on rehabilitation and bringing men to true repentance. With consistency, he uses the prison fellowship curriculum and believes that longevity and fullness of life are keys. Love God… Honor your parents… Have mentors… Break recidivism.

At Florida State College of Jacksonville, Jarvis graduated with a bachelor's degree in supervision and management. He faithfully serves his community and volunteers with prison fellowship in several adult facilities. Jarvis Guthrie’s dedication is to help men transition from prison into the Kingdom. He is in the process of opening a reentry program on a 60-acre farm in Palatka, FL. Donations are welcomed. https://www.youmattertochrist.com/meet-jarvis-guthrie
