Jo (Staci) McKee - 7:14 Ministries

JO was born in Pomona, California, in 1968 and grew up in a military family, living in various places throughout her  childhood. She now resides in Oklahoma, where the Lord has planted her for the last 29 years.  She has been married for 33 years, and is a proud mother to three adult children and three grandsons (so far).

Raised in a religious household, JO was taught to focus on behavior and outward appearances.  She actually did not perceive God as a safe place in her life, because she only knew Him through eyes of judgment and condemnation. At the age of 13, she asked Jesus to save her because she knew that she was bad and didn’t want to go to hell. It wasn’t until she was 48 years old that she discovered the depths of His mercy and grace.  As she began to dig into God’s Word, she discovered that the only thing that God ever wanted from her is her heart; and so she began her journey of letting Him in and allowing Him to transform every part of her life.  

Today, JO is passionate about mentoring other women who need to be introduced to the God of love, mercy, grace and forgiveness.  She teaches them how to find the Truths about who God is from His Word and also how to listen to that still small voice of the Holy Spirit as He leads, guides and directs them on the narrow path that leads to a deeper relationship with Father, Son and Holy Spirit. She has learned the value of “keeping the main thing the main thing” and she practices living intentionally, in a way that glorifies God.

JO has a deep love for God’s Word, and while she has many favorite passages, one that holds special meaning for her is Psalm 40:1-3: “I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.”
