How do you keep showing up and supporting others when you don’t have support for yourself — or confirmation that you’re even on the right path? In this episode preview of The Beacon Show, Dr. Jacqueline King shares about gaining a spirit of resilience to pursue her God-given vision.
Dr. Jacqueline King knew the vision God had given her was the right course for her to take, but she had to walk that path without any feedback from the people around her that she was doing the right thing.
Still, God’s work in Dr. King’s life showed her that this calling with not optional, and so she persisted.
“I don’t believe that God gives you a vision without a provision,” she says.
By trusting God to bring her mission to fruition, Dr. King has been able to push past discouragement and set an example of resilience and hope in difficult circumstances.

BIO:
Dr. Jaqueline King started Black Women Empowered (BWE) in November 2011. While watching BET's Black Girls Rock and the excitement from the women on Facebook, God spoke to her and said, "What happens when the excitement ends?" It was this question that caused Black Women Empowered to be born.
BWE started out with just over 200 women on Facebook and ultimately reached over one million fans on a daily basis. BWE now uses other social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, Google Plus, Periscope, and Pinterest to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. By the grace of God, several other social media pages were launched, including Black Women Empowered New Jersey/New York, Black Women Empowered Atlanta, Black Girls Empowered, Black Men Empowered, BWE Live Broadcasts, BWE Encouragement, and BWE Obama Family Fan Page.
Dr. King spent almost twenty-six years working in various management positions at the largest electric and gas utility company in New Jersey. She left New Jersey in 2004 and relocated to Greensboro, NC. Having served on several boards in New Jersey, She served for several years at the Greensboro Human Relations Commission in Greensboro as the Vice Chair, the Greensboro Police Community Review Board as the Vice Chair, NC. the Greensboro Chief of Police Faith-Based Council, the Child Placement Review Board of Mercer County, NJ, the College of New Jersey Non-Traditional Jobs for Women, the Middlesex County Gender and Equity Board, the Ewing Township General Assistance Board and the Mayor of Newark's Diversity Council, to name a few. She is the mother of two amazing children, Eric and Ashley, with three beautiful Grandchildren, Daija, Christopher, and Corbin. Her favorite quote is, "The truth is not always popular, but it is always correct." Her favorite scripture is Isaiah 54:17: "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD".
