Jackie Lyons White joins This Is Big Time to share her extraordinary journey from rural Bertie County to becoming a beloved community leader, entrepreneur, and advocate. She reflects on a childhood shaped by deep faith, a mother who modeled service, and a home where God was present “365 days, seven days a week.” Jackie recounts how that foundation carried her through building a restaurant with no money—relying on auctions, generosity, and the quiet miracles of people who showed up at just the right time.
She also opens up about living with lupus, describing the pain, the surgeries, and the trust in God that sustains her. Her story reveals how suffering can deepen faith, how community can transform possibility, and how asking for help can unlock blessings far greater than pride ever could.
This episode is a testament to resilience, gratitude, and the power of a life lived in service to others.
