Jenn doesn’t speak about life from theory – she speaks from experience.
Raised in the church Jenn was once a passionate advocate for life –
speaking at the Kansas State Capital at just 16 years old against partial-
birth abortion when it was up for vote in the 90’s. But her journey didn’t
follow a straight line. Over time, shaped by personal struggles and cultural
influences, she drifted far from the truth she once defended – experiencing
abuse, addiction, alcohol misuse and ultimately two chemical abortions.
Even participating in a pro-abortion protest. That full-circle journey is what
makes Jenn’s voice so rare and needed.
Today, her life is a powerful testimony of redemption. She brings a perspective that resonates across
divides understanding both the conviction behind the pro-life message but also the pain, confusion and
complex realities that lead people away from it. This allows her to speak with credibility, compassion, and
clarity to audiences on both sides. Jenn currently serves as an events coordinator and client educator at a
pregnancy resource ministry. With a background in healthcare and social services, along with ongoing
studies in psychology and counseling, she brings a research-informed, trauma aware approach to her
work. She is driven by a clear calling: to reach the “invisible people”- those who feel overlooked or
disqualified and to help organizations engage them more effectively. Jenn is passionate about equipping
the church and pro-life movement to lead with both truth and compassion. In addition to her client work,
Jenn has led small groups and an initiative to launch a community wide ministry for single adults. Jenn
brings not only a compelling story, but also practical experience in building trust, fostering connection and
mobilizing community. She has also planned and led record-breaking fundraising events, helping the
organization she works at to translate vision into measurable impact, deepen donor engagement, and
drive mission-centered growth.
For pro-life organizations, churches, and advocacy programs Jenn offers more than inspiration- she
provides research driven personal insight into the emotional, psychological and practical realities
surrounding abortion, and other challenges, while equipping people to respond in ways that are both life-
affirming and deeply compassionate. Jenn’s message is very clear: every life has value, and no story is
beyond redemption.
TRAVELS FROM KANSAS
“Jenn Edlund has a powerful story of transformation. She shares truth with humility and genuine love for
others. She is able to understand and speak to those who doubt or even reject God as well as believers
who have walked with God for years. Jenn authentically shares the reality of God's love and the value of
every life, having experienced Jesus drawing her back into a love relationship with Him.”
Amy Wichman Executive Director, Life Choice Ministries
Jenn approaches life with wholehearted passion—whether loving her family, serving others, or investing
in those around her. Her story is a powerful testimony of how Jesus brings dynamic transformation, and it
enables her to connect authentically with people at every stage of their faith journey. As a speaker, Jenn
combines contagious enthusiasm with thoughtful preparation. She doesn’t rely on emotion alone; her
teaching is grounded in careful research and clear thinking, making her message both engaging and
impactful. I’ve personally been encouraged and challenged by her, and I’m confident others will be as
well.
