About the Founder
Jessica Blake
Jessica Blake is an author, worship leader, fitness professional, and the founder of Seeker Ministries and Gospel Praise Fitness. She is passionate about helping women discover freedom in Christ by combining her greatest loves, biblical truth, worship, music, fitness, writing, prayer, and discipleship.
After graduating from McGill University with a degree in Kinesiology, Jessica set off on a life-changing journey through Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. When she returned to Canada, she searched for a career that would combine her love of singing, playing guitar, and working with children. That search led her to Rainbow Songs, where she spent 16 years bringing music, movement, and joy to thousands of children and their caregivers.
Yet despite a fulfilling career, Jessica found herself asking life's biggest questions: "Who am I? Why am I here? Is there really a God?"
Her search for meaning led her deep into New Age spirituality, exploring practices such as yoga, Reiki, manifestation, meditation, and spiritual discussion groups. Believing she was seeking truth, she had no idea that God was already pursuing her.
In His perfect timing, the Lord placed key people in Jessica's life who lovingly shared the Gospel and introduced her to the truth of Jesus Christ. As she began reading the Bible for herself, everything changed. The more she studied Scripture, the more convinced she became that the God of the Bible is living, loving, personal, and knowable, and that reconciliation with Him is found only through Jesus Christ.
Hungry for truth, Jessica spent the next three years researching and comparing the world's major religions against the claims of the Bible. That journey became the foundation for her first book, "Seeker: Searching For Truth At All Costs", an honest account of her spiritual search and the evidence that ultimately led her to faith in Christ.
After publishing "Seeker", Jessica returned to her educational roots in health and fitness, becoming certified as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and nutrition expert. God then began stirring a new vision, one that would unite her passion for physical health with her calling to spiritual discipleship.
That vision became Gospel Praise Fitness (GPF), a Christ-centred fitness ministry that equips women to honour God by caring for the bodies He has entrusted to them. Through live online fitness classes, personal training, nutrition coaching, Bible-based encouragement, and educational workshops, Jessica helps women strengthen their bodies, renew their minds, and deepen their walk with Christ.
Today, Jessica is the author of three books, a worship songwriter and composer, and the founder of two ministries united by one mission: to lead women into freedom through Jesus Christ, spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Whether she is teaching a fitness class, leading worship, writing, speaking, or encouraging women one-on-one, Jessica's prayer is the same:
That every woman would come to know the love of Jesus Christ, walk confidently in His truth, and glorify Him in every area of her life.
