A Cup of Gratitude

This week I speak with Jamie Bollinger, who has served in ministry
through worship, speaking, songwriting, and mentorship — helping
people encounter God through authentic faith, honest hope, and the
presence of worship. After experiencing profound personal loss in 2023, 
Jamie’s message took on an even deeper dimension. Through grief, worship 
became more than a song — it became a lifeline. Her ministry now carries a
gentle but powerful message of hope for weary hearts, reminding
others that faith and grief, sorrow and joy, can exist together.
Whether leading worship, speaking at women’s events, ministering
to widows, or sharing her story through music and encouragement,
Jamie creates spaces where women feel seen, strengthened, and
reminded they are not alone. Through worship, honest storytelling, and 
practical Encouragement, Jamie invites others to discover that even in life’s 
hardest places, God is still present — still faithful — and still bringing beauty 
from the ashes. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful 
thread of Jesus in her life. You won’t want to miss this encouraging episode!
