Meet Jessica Shunta

The Money Therapist™

Financial Stewardship & Pastoral Protection Strategist

“To whom much is given, much is required.” – Luke 12:48

This scripture shaped Jessica from childhood, and it is the foundation of how she serve pastors, churches, and mission-driven leaders today.

Jessica helps Pastors, First Ladies, church administrators, and leadership teams protect the pastor, secure the ministry’s financial integrity, and ensure the vision continues with honor. Her work centers on establishing a Pastoral Protection Policy™ and building continuity systems that bring stability to both the First Lady and the congregation during leadership transitions.

The Calling

Jessica’s stewardship journey began in the church.

At 18 years old, she became the youngest financial secretary in her congregation’s history. She was entrusted with confidential oversight of the ministry’s finances — reporting, reconciliation, audit preparation, and accountability.

That early assignment became her lifelong calling:

Stewardship is sacred.
Honor is required.
Accountability is protection.

For more than two decades, Jessica has carried this conviction into every role… leading financial teams, restoring financial order, strengthening systems and helping organizations operate with clarity, and confidence. Her work blends financial accuracy with ministry integrity, ensuring leaders can make decisions they can stand behind.

Why Pastoral Protection Matters

When a Pastor transitions unexpectedly:

The First Lady and family are often left unprotected

The church may lose direction, stability, and unity

The ministry can become financially vulnerable during transition

Membership often declines as uncertainty spreads throughout the congregation

A Pastoral Protection Policy™ ensures:

This is stewardship. It protects the ministry before crisis comes, not after it hits.

Your Next Step

If you are responsible for the ministry’s future, preparation must happen before the transition — not after.
