Meet JLP Founder Jerry LePre

Amazon Top-ranked Faith-based Author, Speaker, Mentor and Award-winning Journalist

New Orleans native Jerry LePre (Jesuit and Loyola) has always been passionate about helping others embrace their purpose. Yet something was missing in his life. After years of successfully working in the corporate world as a top executive (Who's Who of New Orleans), Jerry realized that there was more to life than climbing the corporate ladder. Thus, he decided to pursue a career change. Instead of helping investors increase profits, he shifted his focus and used his unique and diversified talents to empower Christians to become the SPIRIT-FILLED CHAMPIONS THEY WERE MEANT TO BE.


Since 2013, Jerry through his ministry engages and energizes individuals and businesses, churches, congregations and educational organizations. His faith-based books, messages and presentations blend practical insight and Christian values with humor, Scripture, common sense and uplifting stories.


During his career, Jerry LePre has developed programs for fortune 100 companies and has been featured from coast-to-coast on radio programs such as Family Focus and Christian Mix 106 and locally on WLAE, LifeSongs and WHNODT. He has preached at Catholic, Methodist, United Church of Christ, Southern Baptist and non-denominational churches. Jerry has taught educators and staff in Orleans Parish, Jefferson Parish, St. Bernard Parish, St. Charles Parish and St. John Parish schools regarding teen substance abuse and intervention and collaboration.


Jerry's result-oriented multi-media resources are not just about motivation; they are focused on transformation. (Romans 12:2)
