Dr. Rasheda Jackson’s testimony is a masterclass in faith, endurance, and the supernatural strength God gives a mother when her world is falling apart. In this emotional HerStory episode, she shares the journey that unfolded when her 28-year-old daughter — a pregnant Navy sailor — suddenly fell gravely ill during the height of COVID.
What began as “just a cold” spiraled into a medical crisis:
• A coma
• Life support
• Intubation
• A tracheotomy
• A PEG feeding tube
• A baby still growing inside her womb
For 147 days, Dr. Rasheda lived in the tension between fear and faith. She prayed, fasted, made life-altering medical decisions, ran her company remotely, set systems in place for her younger children, and held her family together through a storm that should have broken her.
Yet God preserved her daughter.
God preserved her grandbaby.
And God preserved her.
This conversation walks through the emotional, spiritual, and practical realities of leading while broken — and how God sustained her through one of the most traumatic seasons of her life.
In this episode, she also reveals:
✨ How her praying grandmother shaped her earliest foundation in God
✨ How becoming a pastor’s wife at 24 matured her overnight
✨ The healing journey from never knowing her biological father
✨ How God sent her a spiritual father who restored her identity
✨ Why empathy without boundaries nearly destroyed her
✨ The business partnership God told her to walk away from
✨ How she built The Uncommon Network to strengthen churches and leaders
✨ Why this season is about structure, alignment, and kingdom influence
She closes the episode with a prophetic reminder:
“We are living in Ephesians 3:20. Work your power. Walk your power.”
