Initiated by GOD
Initiated By God is a faith-forward interview series hosted by Jessica Laine MacDonald. After a life-altering accident and miraculous recovery, Jessica surrendered her platform to God and stepped into a new season of obedience. Each episode features raw, unfiltered conversations with pastors, leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday believers about calling, spiritual warfare, healing, transition, and the cost of obeying God. The show aims to encourage those stepping into a new assignment, running from one, or sitting in an unchosen season.
