Ember Igniter – Jena Wilmers
Reignite the Spark of Purpose Episode 35 – Spiritual Awakening with Shaz
In Episode 35 of Spiritual Awakening with Shaz, I’m joined by the beautiful and powerful Jena Wilmers, co-founder of Spark Light and self-declared Ember Igniter. Her work is focused on one mission—helping people reignite the fire within and step boldly into the God-given purpose they were born to fulfil.
Somewhere along the way, many people forget their spark. Life happens. Trauma hits. Expectations pile on. And before long, the fire that once lit your soul becomes a quiet ember, hidden under responsibilities, fear, or disconnection.
This episode is a reminder that your spark never dies. It might feel buried, but it’s always there—waiting for oxygen, heat, and fuel.
Jena’s Awakening: From Lost to Lit Up
Jena’s journey began on 20 March 2022, a date rich with powerful numerology. Sitting in church, listening to a speaker talk about dreams and purpose, something shifted. It was clear she wasn’t living fully aligned with her own inner fire—and she decided that was going to change.
What followed was a personal transformation. For 90 days, she went “dark”—focusing solely on a course that helped her strip back the noise and reconnect to who she really was. That fire never left her—it had just been dimmed. And once it reignited, there was no turning back.
Now, Jena shares that same gift with others through her work at Spark Light.
The Fires We Live With
Jena explains that people tend to fall into four categories:
-
Embers – feeling burnt out, hopeless, and flatlined
-
Campfires – stuck in comfort zones, surrounded by what’s familiar but no longer growing
-
Forest Fires – consumed by chaos, addiction, trauma, or emotional overwhelm
-
Signal Fires – lit up, leading others by shining their light boldly
As an Ember Igniter, the goal is to help people move from ember, campfire, or chaos into the signal fire stage—where their life becomes a beacon of hope for others.
What Fuels the Fire?
Jena shares that a sustainable spiritual fire needs three elements:
-
Oxygen – Your connection with God, the divine breath that brings life
-
Heat – Your passion, the thing that makes your soul come alive
-
Fuel – Your knowledge, your life experience, and the lessons you’ve learned
When one of those is missing, the fire struggles to survive.
Spiritual Warfare, Pushback & Trusting the Voice Within
As you grow into your purpose, resistance shows up. Jena calls this spiritual warfare—where energetic disruptions, arguments, and internal doubt appear just as you’re about to break through.
This is a sign that you’re moving in the right direction.
She also talks about the importance of knowing whether you’re hearing divine guidance or your own voice. Her tip? Look for confirmation through repetition. When you hear the same message from multiple sources—it’s time to act.
Daily Practices That Make a Difference
Reigniting your inner spark doesn’t require huge, dramatic changes. It starts with small daily actions, such as:
-
Gratitude journaling – writing 10 things you’re grateful for daily
-
Positive affirmations – even if they feel strange at first, they rewire belief
-
Simple physical movement – like a daily walk or light stretching
-
Clean, ordered space – using 20-minute cleans to reclaim energetic clarity
-
Quiet time with God – not just to ask, but to listen
According to Jena, even five minutes of silence each day can completely change how you hear guidance.
Making the Choice to Reignite
The theme that ran through this episode was this:
You have a choice.
Every day, in every moment, you get to choose whether to stay where you are or take one small step forward.
Your power has not been lost.

Even if it’s only glowing as an ember, it can be reignited.
