In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Janice Rose from Evansville, Indiana, to hear a truly incredible story of survival and total surrender to God. After working at the same job for 30 years, Janice moved 2,000 miles to California for her absolute dream job; only for her entire department to be eliminated two years later. Unemployed for 13 months, Janice lost her home and her car, ultimately finding herself living out of an old vehicle on the dangerous streets of one of America's largest cities.

Listen in to hear how those terrifying 180 nights in her car became the exact experience that drew her closer to Jesus than ever before. Janice bravely shares how hitting the absolute bottom of the barrel emptied her out so God could truly reach her, transforming her intense fear into unshakeable peace. 

Today, Janice has returned home to her family as a born-again Christian, a published author, and a YouTube creator sharing messages of hope. If you are facing what feels like a hopeless, rock-bottom moment, Janice's powerful reminder to fully submit your life to Christ will give you the courage to keep praying and trusting!

Guest's Bio

While living in my car for six months (2009–2010), Jesus found me somewhere between the glove box and the rearview mirror. What seemed like the end was actually a divine beginning, as that old 1991 Toyota RAV4 became not only my best friend, but also a reminder that even the simplest provisions can become sacred companions when walking by faith, one night at a time. Little did I know, God was just getting started.

In 2012, I recused Catholicism and was baptized as a Born-Again Christian in 2017 and began my walk in Christ.

I am deeply fulfilled by my work in Christ because of that spiritual transformation I experienced in that old car—leading me to leave the jar and take the call, just like the woman at the well.

Through the power of the Holy Spirit, I have been led to write and publish my first book GLASS COLLAGE, launch my speaking career, and establish my YouTube channel. In all I do, I give God the glory and praise.

With a humble heart and deep love for the Lord, I share messages of hope and renewal in devastating dilemmas. By weaving hard-won wisdom and a blend of humor, my three-step method guides others into a closer, more fulfilling walk with Jesus Christ.

Once broken, now Born-Again, I walk boldly as a child of God.

I am truly blessed.
