About

Jacob Olinger was born and raised in Garden City, KS (think the old Wild West). He married his high school sweet heart and childhood crush Mariah Olinger in May of 2014. After spending time in prayer focused on future parenthood, and spiritual walk/growth both felt a pull to move to Sevierville, TN where they still currently reside. Shortly after moving to Tennessee towards the end of 2016 Jacob felt the call and instruction to write, publish, and spread christian spiritual teachings. Thus Spirit Warrior Ministry was created. In November of 2017 Mariah gave birth to a daughter; Ariah (whose name means Lioness of God.) The mission now expanded to include her as well as the first ministry (family). Spirit Warrior Ministries online approach would allow the Word of God to spread like fire. Since 2017 SWM reached over 50,000 website views and had reached 115 countries with very minimal cost. Jacob has Authored two books and has wrote over 325 devotionals. He has spent over a decade in various church positions/ministries. SWM was attacked at length by false prophets and teachers in Africa.

SWM continues to expand having reached over 1,100,000 people through online platforms and gathering 6,500 followers.

SWM works on producing audio devotionals, written works, and in 2022 launched “Faith Factor” a clothing brand.

SWM is not an online church but rather a secondary ministry. Jacob holds the position that the church “body” should gather together to worship, learn, and commune with each other. However, due to the vastness of not only Christian followers but the Word of God there is plenty room for secondary ministries that help to try and fill in the gaps through devotionals, books, and audio messages in a digital era that has grown out of control and it’s viewers are consuming astonishing amounts of content.

Jacob & Mariah have accepted an Associate/Youth Pastor role back in Garden City, KS in 2024 and will be moving end of the year to step into this new position.
