aheart that was Lost
From a young age, I always felt different. I grew up in a Christian home, but I didn’t truly know Jesus. I heard about Him, went to church a few times, but there was no real relationship. Deep down, I was confused, alone, and desperate to belong. I didn’t understand the Bible. I didn’t know how to pray. I just knew I felt out of place in the world and hoped someone could show me who God really was.
In high school, football became my escape. It gave me a reason to wake up in the morning, a sense of purpose, and the approval I was craving. Through that, I met a pastor who was also my football coach a man I looked up to. He became the first person I ever trusted, the first one who seemed to really care about me. But that trust was broken in one of the most painful ways possible. He tried to do sexual things with me.
That moment shattered me. It wasn’t just betrayal, it was a wound so deep that it made me question God’s love, His goodness, and His very existence. I couldn’t understand how someone who claimed to follow Jesus could do something like that. And everyone at school bullied me even my "Christian friends". So I turned my back on God, on my football career, on everyone and gave up on everyone & everything...
A Deep Descent
After that, my heart hardened. I told myself I’d never trust anyone again. I went off to college and started doing the exact opposite of everything I had once been taught. If the Bible said not to do it, I did it and was addicted to:
Drugs
Parties
Porn
Fighting
Drinking
Sex
Success
I was trying to fill an emptiness that nothing in this world could satisfy. I chased everything but no matter how high, how numb, or how busy I got, the pain was still there when I laid down at night. Eventually, I reached a point where I just wanted to disappear. I didn’t want to feel anymore. So I decided to leave everything behind and move to Florida hoping a new place would mean a new life...
A Life That Looked Good but Felt Empty
In Florida, things looked better on the outside.
I lost 80 pounds.
I worked two jobs.
I started making good money.
I was in shape, had friends, went out, met girls — and from the outside, people thought I had it all together.
But inside, I was dying.
No matter how much success or attention I got, I still felt broken, anxious, angry, addicted, and alone.
I remember sitting in my car some nights, staring out the window and thinking, “Why am I even here? What’s the point of any of this?”
Then one weekend, I went to an EDM festival — thinking maybe I could forget everything for a few days.
But when it ended, I came home emptier than ever before.
That night, I hit rock bottom.
I had decided to end my life.
But before I could go through with it, I fell to my knees and cried out,
“Jesus, I can’t do this anymore. I’m done trying to figure it all out on my own. I give You everything.”
And in that moment…everything changed...
A radical encounter with Jesus
The presence of God filled the room like a wave. It felt like light breaking through years of darkness. My heart started to soften, and for the first time in my life I felt peace. I can’t even fully explain it, but I knew the Holy Spirit was real. Chains I had carried for years began to break. Addictions started lifting. Anxiety and anger began to fade. And I just sat there in tears, because I knew Jesus had just saved my life.
But even after that, I was still trying to make sense of everything...
I didn’t have a Church.
I didn’t have Jesus centered friends.
I didn’t know how to grow in my faith or even where to start reading the Bible.
I had been saved but I was still searching. And because of the pain I had from that pastor, I didn’t fully trust Christians or church leaders yet. So instead of going to church, I started searching everywhere else — through every religion, every spiritual path, trying to find the truth. I looked into Buddhism, Hinduism, the New Age, crystals, energy, manifestation and everything. And every path I took led me right back to one name: Jesus. I remember one night crying out “If You are real Jesus and the bible is real show me right now” And even with my stubbornness He did...
the night everything changed!!!
That night, as I sat alone in my room, I felt His presence enter the room again. It wasn’t like before — it was stronger, deeper, heavier.
And suddenly, I felt a hand rest gently on my shoulder. But there was no one there. It was Jesus!
In that moment, I broke down. He didn’t just save my life that night — He healed the part of me that stopped believing love was real. That encounter changed everything.
It was no longer just faith it was reality. Jesus wasn’t an idea or a story I heard growing up. He was alive, and He had met me in my brokenness. I stood up and shouted "YO JESUS IS REAL THIS IS LEGIT" haha and from then on I started to going on FIRE FOR JESUS!!!...
from brokenness
to boldness
After that encounter, my life began to completely transform.
I started sharing what Jesus had done for me online.
I didn’t post because I had all the answers I posted because I finally had hope.
And to my surprise, people began reaching out. Every day, messages started flooding in I got so many everyday saying:
“Where do I start reading the Bible?”
“How do I find a church?”
“How do I pray?”
“Who is the Holy Spirit?”
I saw people who were just like me lost, hungry, and searching for truth but with no one to guide them and nowhere to go.
And I remember asking God one night,
“Lord, what do You want me to do with all these people?”
And He said to me,
“Build what you needed when you were lost"...
the start of
jesus generation family!!!
That was the moment Jesus Generation was born. Jesus Generation isn’t a brand. It’s not a social media project...
It’s a Family!
A place for people like me who were searching for real faith, real friends, and real community. A place where people can grow in their faith, find other believers who actually care, and get connected to churches that are alive with the Spirit of God. This movement exists because I know what it’s like to be saved but still feel alone. I know what it’s like to love Jesus but not know where to start. And I never want anyone to feel that way again...
from teacher to kingdom builder
Before stepping into full-time ministry, I was a teacher. Every day, I looked into the eyes of students who were lost comparing themselves online, chasing acceptance, numbing their pain, searching for purpose. I saw myself in them. And I knew God was calling me to do something more.
He told me to take a step of faith and to leave my comfort zone. To trust Him with everything my future, my finances, my calling.
I didn’t have all the answers but I have Him and that's all I ever need
Now I’ve dedicated my life to building Jesus Generation Family a movement to help people:
-
Grow in their faith through God’s Word and discipleship
-
Find real community that’s full of love and accountability
-
Get connected to healthy, life-giving churches where they can be discipled and sent out
more than a movement
a Family
Jesus Generation is more than an organization. It’s a heart for Jesus Christ our King and Savior!!! A Family of believers who are rising up together to become who God created us to be!
This movement exists to bring unity to the Body of Christ to bring together God’s children scattered across the earth (John 11:52)
To raise up a generation that worships God in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24) (my favorite verse)
If you’ve ever felt like I did broken, alone, unsure this is your invitation to Join The Family
join the family!!!
This isn’t just my story, it’s the story of what Jesus is doing in a generation that’s been searching for truth. He took my pain and turned it into purpose. He took my brokenness and turned it into a blueprint for others to find healing. And now, He’s calling us to build this together.
So if your heart is stirring as you read this, if you feel that same pull I once felt come be part of this family. Help us build what God is building, because this isn’t about one person’s story it’s about a generation rising up for His glory!
Welcome to Jesus Generation Family! Where we go after the lost, build the found, and glorify the One who gave us life Jesus Christ our LORD & SAVIOR!!!
