Summary

I’m Jesse and this is my story. I grew up in a family of traveling musicians, and even though I decided to be a Christian when I was just eight, my heart only truly embraced Him after facing school bullying, fights, and deep emotional struggles. I experienced physical injury—getting hit in the face and even suffering from a painful leg condition—but on a healing night at a Christian festival called New Day, I witnessed a miracle when my leg was healed. Over time, through isolation, self-harm and even panic attacks at school, I learned to lean into prayer and found mentors who helped me understand what it means to live for God. Today, I share my life transformation—my struggles with depression, rejection, and the lows of youth—all to give glory to Jesus and to show that even in the darkest times His love brings restoration.
