Who Is Jackie Brown? The Heart Behind Premier Glory Wear
Hey Mama,
Welcome! Since we’re just getting to know each other, I wanted to pull up a virtual chair, pour you a cup of coffee (or tea if that’s your thing), and share a little about me, my heart, and why Premier Glory Wear exists.
My name is Jackie Brown. I’ve been married to my best friend, Gary, for 21 years. We’ve raised four amazing kids together, and now I have the joy of being a Glam-Ma. Between cheering in the stands at basketball and football games, running to dance recitals, and making sure everyone eats a home-cooked meal, life is full—but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
By day, I work as an Administrative Professional in Special Education for our inner-city school system. I’ve worked in education and HR for years, and I have a deep passion for serving others. But by night—and in those in-between moments—I’m building Premier Glory Wear, my faith-based brand created to empower moms like you.
Why Premier Glory Wear Was Born
There was a season in my life when I felt like everything was on my shoulders. I was balancing work, home, sports schedules, ministry, and my own spiritual walk--and honestly, some days it felt like I was drowning. I would whisper prayers in the car between errands or mumble one while folding laundry, but I longed for more. I didn't want my relationship with God to feel like a "drive-by"--something quick and rushed just to check off a to-do list.
That season taught me that the struggle to maintain spiritual intimacy while managing life's demands is one of the greatest challenges Christian women face. We love God deeply, but finding consistent time and energy for meaningful spiritual connection can feel nearly impossible when we're responsible for so many people and so many details of daily life.
I remember feeling guilty about my inconsistent quiet times, frustrated by my scattered prayers, and worried that my children weren't seeing the spiritual example I wanted to provide. I was comparing my real life to idealized versions of Christian motherhood I saw in books and on social media, and I was falling short of those impossible standards.
During this difficult season, I began to understand that God doesn't expect perfect spiritual performance from busy moms. He knows our hearts, sees our struggles, and meets us exactly where we are in our messy, beautiful, overwhelming lives. This revelation began to transform not only my relationship with God but also my vision for how I could encourage other women facing similar challenges.
One day, God whispered to me: "You're not alone in this. There are other moms just like you. Encourage them."
That divine whisper came during a particularly overwhelming week when I was questioning whether I was failing as a wife, mother, employee, and Christian. In that moment of vulnerability and exhaustion, God reminded me that my struggles weren't unique, and that my experiences could become a source of encouragement for other women walking similar paths.
I began to realize that the very challenges I was facing - trying to balance spiritual growth with practical responsibilities, seeking God's presence in chaotic daily routines, and wanting to model authentic faith for my children - were struggles that countless other Christian women were navigating as well.
God showed me that my season of struggle wasn't a sign of spiritual failure but rather preparation for a ministry of encouragement. The prayers I was learning to pray in car lines, the scriptures I was memorizing while doing dishes, and the faith I was developing through daily dependence on His strength were all part of a larger story He was writing.
That's how Premier Glory Wear came to life. This isn't just a brand--it's a movement for moms who want to stay rooted in faith, even in the chaos of everyday life. Our products--soft, comfortable apparel and prayer-focused gifts--are designed to be reminders that you are a praying mom, periodt.
The Vision Behind Premier Glory Wear
Premier Glory Wear was born from a deep understanding that Christian women need more than just religious products - they need tools and reminders that integrate faith into their real, daily lives. Every item we create is designed with the busy mom in mind, acknowledging that spiritual growth often happens in small moments between larger responsibilities.
Our apparel isn't just clothing with Christian messages - it's wearable encouragement designed to remind you of your spiritual identity throughout ordinary days. When you put on a Premier Glory Wear tee that says "Praying Mom Periodt," you're not just making a fashion statement; you're declaring your commitment to intercede for your family even when prayer time feels rushed or inconsistent.
The prayer-focused gifts we create, including our signature Glory Prayer Box, are designed to make spiritual practices accessible and sustainable for women whose lives don't allow for lengthy devotional times. These tools acknowledge that meaningful spiritual connection can happen in five-minute increments just as powerfully as in hour-long sessions.
Every product decision we make is filtered through this question: "Will this genuinely help a busy mom stay connected to God and feel encouraged in her faith journey?" We're not interested in creating religious merchandise that looks good but doesn't serve a practical purpose in real women's spiritual lives.
My Heart for Community
Building Premier Glory Wear has also allowed me to create the kind of community I wish I'd had during my most challenging seasons of motherhood. Through our social media presence, blog content, and customer interactions, we're fostering a space where women can be honest about their struggles while encouraging each other in faith.
I've learned that Christian women are hungry for authentic community where they can admit that they don't have everything figured out while still celebrating God's faithfulness in their lives. Too often, church environments and Christian social media create pressure to present perfect lives rather than providing space for real conversation about the challenges of living out faith in practical ways.
At Premier Glory Wear, we're committed to creating content and products that acknowledge both the struggles and the victories of Christian motherhood. We celebrate answered prayers while also admitting when we're still waiting for breakthrough. We share practical tips for spiritual growth while also being honest about seasons when spiritual practices feel forced or difficult.
The Personal Impact
Building this business has transformed my own spiritual life in ways I never expected. Creating products designed to encourage other women has deepened my own understanding of what it means to find God in ordinary moments. Writing content about prayer has made me more intentional about my own prayer life. Designing apparel with faith messages has reminded me daily of my own spiritual identity and calling.
Every testimony we receive from customers about how our products have encouraged their faith journey feels like confirmation that God is using our small business for purposes bigger than profit. When a mom tells us that wearing our "Praying Mom" tee reminded her to pray for her struggling teenager, or that our Glory Prayer Box helped her establish a consistent quiet time, we're reminded that this work is ministry disguised as entrepreneurship.
The personal relationships I've developed with customers have also enriched my own life immeasurably. I've prayed with women facing divorce, celebrated with moms whose prodigal children have returned home, and been encouraged by stories of God's faithfulness in circumstances I've never faced but might encounter in the future.
Looking Forward
As Premier Glory Wear continues to grow, my heart remains focused on the individual woman who feels overwhelmed by life's demands while longing for deeper spiritual connection. Every new product we develop, every blog post we write, and every social media message we share is created with her in mind.
My prayer is that Premier Glory Wear will continue to be a source of practical encouragement for Christian women, helping them integrate faith into their daily lives in sustainable, meaningful ways. I want our products to serve as bridges between the spiritual life women desire and the busy reality they navigate every day.
If you're reading this as a busy mom who sometimes feels like you're failing spiritually, I want you to know that you're not alone. Your quick prayers count, your rushed devotional times matter, and your desire to honor God through your daily life is beautiful to Him. You don't need perfect circumstances or unlimited time to have a meaningful relationship with God - you just need a willing heart and the understanding that He meets you exactly where you are.
Thank you for allowing me to share my heart with you. I'm honored to be part of your faith journey, and I pray that Premier Glory Wear will be a source of encouragement and practical support as you seek to love God and serve your family well.
Welcome to our community, mama. You belong here, just as you are.
