God led Jennifer Shelton to Real Options, a pregnancy resource clinic in North Dallas, just weeks after graduating from Ouachita Baptist University in 2003. What began as a role teaching sexual risk avoidance in schools grew into a lifelong calling. As Education Director, Jennifer authored the “180 Degrees” abstinence curriculum still used today and spoke to over 150,000 students across the US. In 2014, she became Executive Director of Real Options, and in 2022, she stepped into the CEO role. Under her leadership, the ministry has expanded to multiple locations, launched a mobile medical unit, and helped thousands of women find hope in the midst of unplanned pregnancies. Jennifer also serves as Vice President of Life Ambassadors of Texas, a statewide coalition representing more than 60 pregnancy centers. She frequently testifies before the Texas legislature and speaks on the front lines of cultural and spiritual battles surrounding life, faith, and the future of families. As a seasoned public speaker and life advocate for the past 22 years, Jennifer was asked by a national pro-life organization, PreBorn, to facilitate nationwide conferences that equip pregnancy centers to share the Gospel with greater clarity and compassion. She has been married to her husband, Rich, since 2009. Together, they have a bold and beautiful daughter named Ava Jane and a son, Noah, currently serving in the U.S. Army. Whether in the Capitol or a client room, Jennifer’s heart is to point people to truth, healing, and the goodness of God.
