About
I never planned to start a ministry for parents in crisis. I planned to raise a happy family and watch my kids grow up to love Jesus. God had other plans.
My wife and I have walked through adoption, trauma, health crises, and seasons where "faithfulness" meant simply not giving up. We've experienced the silence of unanswered prayers and the surprising grace that comes when you least expect it.
Through it all, I've learned that God doesn't ask us to have all the answers. He asks us to keep walking. Keep praying. Keep loving. Even when we can't see the path ahead.
This ministry exists because I know what it's like to feel alone in your struggle. I know what it's like to wonder if you're failing your kids. And I know what it's like to discover that God meets us in the wilderness—not to rescue us from it immediately, but to walk with us through it.
The Journey
The Early Years
Like many young couples, we started with big dreams and bigger prayers. We wanted a family that loved God and loved each other. We read all the right books and followed all the right advice.
The Call to Adoption
God placed adoption on our hearts in a way we couldn't ignore. We said yes, not knowing how that yes would reshape everything we thought we knew about parenting, faith, and ourselves.
The Wilderness
The years that followed brought challenges we never anticipated. Trauma, attachment struggles, health crises, and moments where we wondered if we had made a terrible mistake. This was our wilderness—and the place where God did His deepest work in us.
The Calling
Other families began reaching out, asking how we were surviving. We realized that our story—our struggles and our small victories—could offer hope to others walking similar paths. Nick Jackson Ministries was born.
Today
Now, through speaking, writing, and teaching, we're helping parents understand that they're not alone—and that faithfulness looks different than they might expect. The journey continues.
Why I Do This
I've sat across from too many parents who feel like failures. Parents who've done everything "right" and still face unimaginable struggles. Parents who love their kids fiercely but can't seem to reach them.
I do this work because I believe the church needs a different conversation about parenting—one that doesn't promise formulas or guarantee outcomes, but offers something better: the presence of a faithful God who walks with us through the fire.
If that's the conversation you need to have, you're in the right place.
