How does someone go from pursuing a high-powered business career to becoming a mental health counselor?
In this episode of Kenosis Conversations, Jackson shares the deeply personal story of how he found his way into the counseling profession. Growing up during the Great Recession, facing financial hardship, and navigating significant family challenges, Jackson initially chose a career path driven by a desire for security. But along the way, he discovered that fear was shaping his decisions more than purpose.
What followed was a journey of self-discovery, faith, meaningful relationships, and the realization that helping others through deep, transformative conversations was where he truly belonged.

- The surprising turning point that changed everything

- What makes counseling such a meaningful profession
