Jackie Jacobsen was born and raised in Rapid City, located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. In 1966, because of her Native American heritage, she was able to attend and graduate from South Dakota State University, in Brookings, South Dakota. Jackie is the Granddaughter of Benjamin Black Fox who was an infant survivor of the Wounded Knee Massacre. The faith of her Grandfather and her Mother, Ramona, was instrumental in igniting her spiritual journey. She and her husband Stan have resided in the Evergreen area for over 40 years. They have three grown children and three Grandsons.

THE BEGINNING

Since 1973, Jackie has been teaching and equipping believers in the local Church and in Christian circles on the Front Range of Colorado. Coming from a liturgical background, she combines a rich and varied experience in and out of the prophetic community with a practical, animated and challenging delivery. Jackie considers herself a “benevolent watchdog” for prophetic practice and people, on the cutting-edge and “leaning forward” to what the Holy Spirit is doing among believers. LBS students experience her passion to see believers personally partnering with the Holy Spirit in order to perpetuate the continuing works of Jesus with His love, humility and zeal with wisdom. After over 30 years, LBS School has equipped and released hundreds and hundreds of students who have become strong contributing leaders and followers into the local Front Range Churches and ministries.

For seven years she was an intercessor on the team of Native American Resource Network, a Colorado based ministry to encourage, facilitate and to pray for the healing and restoration of the wounds of Native American Indians. The first Intercultural Committee of Women’s Aglow International was also part of Jackie’s work in reconciliation and restoration. She has been ordained by Christ for All Nations, a mission station established for the Navajo, near Farmington, New Mexico. She also has also experienced the growing Messianic Movement through being on the dance team of a local Messianic Congregation for four years. 

STARTING LED BY THE SPIRIT SCHOOL

Jackie is the Founder and Teacher of Led by the Spirit School. She has written the LBS Courses to raise up and develop Disciples, to activate them to have a personal, working relationship with the Holy Spirit. She began to teach the Led by the Spirit Courses in 1993 in homes and local Churches, as well as teaching the LBS Course at Rocky Mountain Bible Institute in Arvada, Colorado for eight years. Throughout the years, LBS School has been sought out and embraced by the whole community of Denominations and ethnic peoples. Currently, the Led by the Spirit Course I and II begin in August to end in April at Passionate Life Church in Littleton, Colorado.

EXPECT INFECTIOUS MOTIVATION

Jackie is well known for bringing a practical, animated and challenging message to children, youth and adults. Her unique use of props, music meditations and object Lessons cement practical application of in-Christ realities and spiritual truths. Jackie’s desire is to equip and disciple believers in their journey to go deeper and deeper into intimately knowing the Holy Spirit as well as the know Messiah Jesus. Students report that the practical application of the LBS principles that she requires, bring momentum and maturity in being conformed to the image of Messiah Jesus. Jackie’s students testify that her infectious teaching style has ignited and released them to testify that the main thing they master is that they know for sure they can hear the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit.

Today she encourages believers to ask individually and corporately, “What is the Spirit saying to you and the Church right now?” She can be heard saying many times in the classroom coaching the students to get to the point where they can say with zeal and in wisdom…”Life is not about me; it is all about Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, His love, His heart, His humility and apart from Him, I can do nothing!
