Jesse became a Christian at the age of eleven. His father
struggled with alcoholism and his mother struggled with
depression.
His Dad was in and out of jail and his Dad wouldn't let Jesse
and his sister talk to each other
Jesse was in his room while his parents were arguing and he
heard a voice in his head that he had spiritual gifts and he just
needed to stick to life and to read the Bible
Once he got to high school he started going to church and
learned that he was accepted by God as he was
His parents divorced when Jesse was in college. Jesse still
talks to them. He has prayed a lot for them lately and is learning
how to sow seeds one day at a time
When Jesse moved to Nashville to go to Belmont, he met a number
of people that had an influence on him
Jesse planned to move to Tampa, but God had another plan
He prayed for a physical sign and God gave him one
Jesse wants his past to help him mentor others
He views faith like a bowling alley. Open gutters is like a
life lacking faith. Bumpers is like a walk of faith.
Be steadfast in prayer and be specific about what you pray
Jesse works with artists to help them get to the next level in
their careers
While in college he was on the pre-med track. He was
doing well but wasn't happy.
He transferred to Belmont and started writing articles
interviewing artists and realized that music was the pathway for
what God wanted him to do
Jesse interviewed Jason Davis for a podcast interview and he
spent 3-1/2 hours with him, mostly talking about God
Jesse became the tour manager for Austin French and then became
involved in artist licensing
We're all given spiritual gifts. Living out his faith is
to serve.
Jesse writes out what he needs to accomplish in a day, he lives
in the present and takes it day by day
In the secular festival realm, it can be a big party and
there's a temptation to go along with that.
Always be up front and truthful with what your intentions
are
You can take little steps at work to make a difference
Favorite scripture is Psalms 23:1-4
If we're not planting seeds with young people, there won't be
anything to sprout
Rather than listening to something, Jesse gets quiet
and meditates
Loving God, others and ourselves at work and at home. Interviews and ponderings, from a Messianic perspective, and with a focus on men. Formerly the Christian Men at Work Podcast.
