We had the good fortune of connecting with Jerry Skipper and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jerry, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Taking risk plays a major part in my life, my career, and just who I am. When you have came from a troubled beginning, (getting in trouble with the law), you have a stigma that is viewed as negative, although your trouble with the law was years ago. Now because of this, some people make things extremely hard for you to obtain. Is this right? No! Because every saint has a past and every rose has thorns. So, as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ and as a barber who has had a past, taking risk is very important to me; because if I don’t take risk and I automatic stop at the possible rejections, I would never know if what I want to obtain can be obtained. I would never know my full potential. Most importantly, I wouldn’t have obtained the things I have obtained and did to this day.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ who has several brands launched in through me and my wife, Sierra B. Skipper. Getting to where we are today was no easy task. We faced all kind of challenges from me transitioning out of prison into society to being rejected by some family members and some friends. Through it all we found success because 1) We kept God and Jesus Christ first. 2) We held on to the visions and dreams that God planted in us. 3) We made necessary sacrifices to further the goals and visions. The results of such things as of to present date are the following: Jerry L. Skipper ministries got launched and certified by the state which then launched a podcast with Iheart radio and spotify. Along with these venues of communication and teachings, conference calls got launched and even a book which is called “Knowing the voice of GOD” by me Minister Jerry L. Skipper. It was published and can be purchased ebook or paperback through amazon kindle or Barnes and Noble. Subsequent to the written material and audio material, several other organizations got launched through Jerry L. Skipper ministries. My wife launched, I am the dream which is a youth organization that gives back to the youth. She launched No more Trauma which targets towards rehabilitation for anyone who has experienced any type of trauma; girl grow in God which is an all girl group that sisterhoods other sisters in Christ. Last but not least is our jewel which is called Skipwell healing center.
Skipwell healing center is an organization that lives up to the name. We heal people through prayer, rehabilitatiion, and teach on proper dieting. Skipwell takes patients and clients within home therapy and it also does virtue lessons on health and wellness.
What sets us apart from a lot of other companies and organizations is that we are hands on and not just talk. We use the same ambition that got us here to remain here and go further. Each venture we have launched has been good and does good and that is only because we remain keeping Jesus Christ the head of our lives and ry to follow and teach His commands to the best of our knowledge. We know that we can do nothing without him. He is the head of our lives and our motivation source that keeps us pushing forward.
There are more ventures and more things getting ready to be released through Jerry L. Skipper ministries, so stay tune because its going to be bigger and better.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If I wanted to show someone the best time ever in a physical environment, I would probably say a christian concert or maybe a healing meeting or even healing revival. Whereas some people are fake and pretend, I have seen and witness a lot of real people with real healing results and in such environments you can see real results. What better fun is there than to see people get healed and delivered or to enjoy good music with food etc,

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Yes, my shoutout goes to my beautiful wife, Sierra B. Skipper. She has been the main support who actually put action and substances to my dreams. Most people will be like yeah Jerry such and such is a good idea, or yes minister Jerry such and such is something that you can do, but what they dont do is help give you the resources to bring the dream to life. My wife has helped me launch Jerry L. Skipper Ministries, another organization target towars the y0uth, which is called and I am the Dream. She help me get my book (knowing the voice of God.)written and pulished with Barnes and noble and Amazon. She helped me launch my podcast with spotify and iheart radio. as well as open a healing center along with her, called Skipwell healing center. Besides God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, my wife is who I give my shoutout to becauseshe shows her support.
I also have to give a shout out to my parenets, my sisters, and brohers, who all show their love, care, and respect.
