Stones in the River

Discovering Your Spiritual Markers of God’s Love, Grace and Faithfulness

Meet Jo King Jackson

Welcome! I’m Jo.

I’m an author and speaker pursuing my fresh calling from God to recognize God’s presence in the lives of others and to help them intentionally leave a spiritual legacy of His unfailing love and faithfulness.

My passion is helping women thrive at every stage of life’s journey.

I’m a former teacher, small business owner, and lover of all things beautiful, but my greatest delight was the season of raising our two beautiful, incredible, graceful daughters, my marriage journey, and now being blessed with delightful, amazing grandchildren.

My husband, Don Jackson, and I reside in Central California and Atlanta. The Lord brought us together twelve years ago, both having been widowed, and blessed me with a combined family of five married children, 22 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren and counting!

Through love, loss, and life, many of us struggle to find hope. There is a place deep within us that calls out for God. That’s why I want to help women discover their own spiritual markers and finally enjoy the confidence of knowing they are leaving a rich legacy of God’s love, grace, and faithfulness.

Our greatest joy is spending time with each of our families, celebrating their milestones and creating memories for a lifetime.

Through love, loss and life, we all navigate the stones in our river of life. Some of the stones in my river are

  • Losing my mother late in my teen-age years
  • Experiencing the pain and sorrow of three miscarriages
  • A failed marriage
  • Living the privilege and honor of God’s gift of forever motherhood
  • Remarriage and loss of my spouse to cancer
  • Finding deep abiding love with Don as we celebrate life, being grandparents to our combined 22 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren

Because of God’s faithfulness through all of these Stones in the river of my life, I now share my journey with others to help them navigate whatever stones they are presently facing in their own lives.

I look forward to engaging with you to HELP YOU on your journey, perhaps connecting you with others to share your stories on our site.
