Janet Stephens (Lady J) is a leader, writer, exhorter, wife and mother of a blended family of 6 beautiful children. She partnered with her husband to plant Truth and Wholeness Ministries now Manifestation Church in Columbus, Ohio where she currently lives. She has developed a love for teaching the word of God and is passionate about everyone learning about their purpose in life, establishing a vision for their life, and walking in destiny.

 

Lady J has served in many areas of ministry administratively,
teaching, preaching and in song. Her favorite scripture is Jeremiah 29:11(KJV): "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, sayeth the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." 

 

Despite many challenges, it is the Lord’s plans that prevail! Lady J has a powerful story of redemption, restoration and resilience. Lady J became a single mother at 14 years old and again at 16 years old.  Despite that overwhelming challenge, she remained focus to graduate at the top of her class, receiving a full ride scholarship to The Ohio State University. In her senior year in college she delivered her youngest child, in which she still graduated on time with a 2 month old baby and as a new wife. That marriage ended in divorce. Heart broken and rejected Lady J found herself in the arms of her Healer, Savior and Lord. Lady J concludes that her relationship with God was her saving grace. You can tell in her step and in her smile that the Joy of the Lord is her strength, and that weeping had its night season, but that her morning has come!

 

Through the power of resilience, Lady J has become a fresh voice to those who are hungry for God, a catalyst for those desiring healing and a Destiny Ally for single moms, women, teenagers and to anyone that has an ear with a desire to become the Designer Original they were created to be.
