Jannique Stewart
Jannique Stewart is a Pro-life and Sexual Purity Speaker with Life Training Institute and Hearts Matter Most. She has been an advocate and a speaker for the issues of ‘saving the preborn’ and ‘teen sexuality’ since she was a teenager.
Jannique is very passionate about what she believes, and is unashamedly Christian.
“I’m a conservative not because of the culture, my own opinions or life experiences, but because of my faith in Jesus Christ and my biblical worldview,” Jannique says.
Jannique was born in Germany, and lived in several European countries before moving to the United States. Shortly, after her family moved to America for her high school years, she competed for a State Title in a Teen National Pageant and chose the two issues that she felt most passionate about: abortion and the sexualization of teens. After winning her first title at the age of 15, Jannique began speaking in schools and churches on the topics such as ‘Raising up a Pro-life Generation’ and ‘Sexual Integrity-the new sex revolution.’
After graduating from Greenville Liberal Arts College with a degree in Public Speaking and Communication, she entered the field of Pharmaceuticals and quickly rose up the corporate ladder to the position of Corporate Sales Training Manager.
“Although I loved my job,” Jannique says, “I became restless there and felt a passion to return to my first love: speaking out for those who can’t speak for themselves.”
Jannique left the pharmaceutical business in 2005 and has never looked back. She joined First Care Family Resources, the leading Crisis Pregnancy Centers in South Florida in 2005 as a ‘sexual purity’ speaker and educator for their Prevention Department.
Jannique reached approximately 10,000-16,000 students per year encouraging young people to honor God with their bodies and lives by living sexually pure. In 2008, her title changed to Prevention (Purity) and Intervention (Pro-Life) Speaker where she has used her voice to defend the lives of the unborn across South Florida.
In 2008, Jannique worked with the Florida Family Policy Council team as the South Florida Spokesperson for the Marriage Amendment to preserve traditional Marriage in Florida as the union of one man and one woman only. Floridians won the battle for Marriage by a vote of 62% to 38% to amend the Florida state constitution to preserve what God has declared as His union.
In 2010, Jannique became the Boca Raton Center Director for First Care where she helped to counsel women and teens in unplanned pregnancies to value the new life inside of them and offer them hope and help.
Jannique works with Life Training Institute and is also President and founder of a new ministry, Hearts Matter Most, where she speaks at women and youth conferences, churches and colleges about the topics of ‘Defending our Preborn Neighbors’ and the importance of ‘Waiting for Wedding Bells: a call to abstinence until marriage’.
“The sole purpose of Hearts Matter Most is to transform the culture on the issues of sanctity of human life and biblical healthy sexuality,” says Jannique. “The goal is not to treat the social issues of promiscuity and abortion with a band-aid solution, but to change and transforms lives at the heart level. Many things factor into changing people, but for real change to occur, it is changing the heart that matters most.”
