About Me
I used to be an atheist.
I was like the Woman at the Well, only the 2.0 version, until God met me at my well in 1996.
I was a hardcore feminist, now I’m a woman of the Word.
I was convinced I had life all figured out on my own terms until I ran my life into the gutter. Then Jesus showed up. He wrecked my plans in the best possible way and set my heart on fire for Him. Today, I live a sold-out life for Christ—imperfect, passionate, and unapologetically devoted to helping other women do the same. I’m an author, Bible teacher, speaker, wife, mom, and relentless equipper of women who want more of Jesus and less of the world’s noise.
My mission is simple but fierce:
Through JoleneEngle.com, I create resources, teachings, and encouragement for the woman who’s hungry for authentic discipleship. Whether you’re single and seeking, newly married and overwhelmed, or decades in and still growing, you’re in the right place.

I don’t pretend to have it all together. I still mess up. I still need grace. But I’ve learned this: when a woman surrenders her heart, home, and marriage to Christ, miracles happen.
If you’re ready to stop settling for mediocre faith or a lukewarm marriage…
If you want to rise up as the woman, wife, and disciple God created you to be…You’re home.
Welcome. Let’s walk this out together—hand in hand with Jesus.
With all my heart,
Jolene
