🚨 FROM BIG TECH TO DIVINE CALLING — How a profound dream and Christian awakening led DATA REPUBLICAN to walk away from her tech career: She has the receipts. Donations to Amy Klobuchar. A long career in big tech. Then late 2019, just before COVID, Jesus got her. In this interview with @stevegrubershow, Jennica Pounds (@DataRepublican) recounts the exact moment the call became unavoidable: a dream in late summer 2020, during peak COVID, BLM, and woke fever, where a deaf woman heard a voice and was told she had already chosen the hard path. DataRepublican gives her testimony during the Steve Gruber Show via @DataInterpretr: [00:00.0] DATAREPUBLICAN: “I became a Christian later in life. I was in big tech for a really long time, and it was in late 2019, just before COVID. I have donations to Amy Klobuchar to prove it, okay?” [00:17.8] “But Jesus got me as well, He should. And you know, right after that, COVID happened. Tyranny happened, and we all remember. Those times… the whole country was gripped by the Black Lives Matter, by the woke fever, right?” [00:40.3] “And then I'm learning to be a new Christian during these times, and I read about the Great Commission… But then I was sitting there thinking… I can't do this… big tech, they'll fire me. I can't come out with these strong religious opinions.” [00:57.3] “But sometime in late summer 2020… I had a dream… And I was walking down a path, and the path split into two. And it was clear to me that one involved heavenly rewards, but lack of earthly safety. But the other path involved… no rewards, but safety here on earth.” [01:47.2] “I saw both paths, and I straight up asked, ‘Can I have it both ways?’ And then I heard a voice, which is extra weird because I am deaf. And I'm telling you that I heard it. I actually heard a voice say, ‘You chose the hard path.’” [02:07.0] “I found myself on an island, and there was this big storm coming… I started to dig into the sand… I came up with gemstones… and I started throwing them into the storm. And as soon as I threw them into the storm, the palm trees sprouted all around me and made this big wall protecting me from the storm.” [03:07.4] “When I woke up, I texted my pastor… He says, the storm represented the evil coming for you, and the gemstones represented God's word… when you were throwing God's word into the storm, the palm trees sprang around you to represent righteous people… men who… have protected me up to this point.” [03:43.0] “I was being called into something much more public, which was super weird because I'm deaf and I can't speak. I don't even like going to the grocery store, but here I am… a public face… Everything since then was a miracle setting me on this path, and all I know is that I have to spread God's word, reveal the truth… This is the only way out of the problem is to accept God.” 📝*POX Note(s): Truth always hits home personally before anyone sees it on the outside. Before any of this, Jennica had the background and the paper trail to show where her life used to be aligned. But a profound personal shift changed her direction completely—occurring right as major institutions across tech, media, and government were tightening their grip under the banner of crisis management. For her, that dream left no room for hesitation. It wasn't about finding a middle ground; it was about recognizing the difficult path already laid out ahead. As a deaf woman, experiencing that moment brought a deep, unmistakable clarity. In a time of real desperation, she turned toward her faith—finding strength in Scripture that felt like solid ground amidst an gathering storm. The support system that rose around her wasn't something she built on her own; it was made up of people already positioned to stand firm. That personal turning point launched her public work: building open-source tools, mapping federal grants, analyzing the reach of NGOs, and eventually writing *UNELECTED*. The pattern of institutional control she documents today—where crises are amplified to justify tighter oversight—is something she first had to confront on an individual level. Once that calling was clear, there was no turning back. The real proof is in the timeline: the shift in priorities, the faith, and the work that followed. Choosing to trust God wasn't just a matter of private comfort—it became the practical step needed to live outside a system that resists genuine reform. Receipts > narrative
