Jesse grew up in a Christian family. He had great friends in church, and musicians often accompanied him. At the tender age of eight, Jesse already desired to know Jesus, so he decided to accept Him into his heart. By the age of 11, he was baptized.
Nonetheless, Jesse admitted that those decisions stemmed from peer pressure. Deep inside, everything he heard about Jesus didn’t truly resonate with him. It was all “head knowledge, not heart knowledge.” Jesse believed in God but didn’t want to live for Him.

Struggle To Fit In
During secondary school, Jesse struggled to fit in with his schoolmates because of his Christian faith. This led him away from the truth as he sought to appear cool and desperately wanted to belong. He brushed off his faith and engaged in partying and drinking to feel accepted. Although he achieved popularity and made friends, at home, the 14-year-old felt unhappy and struggled with his self-worth. He experienced suicidal thoughts and thoughts of self-harm.
One day, Jesse got involved in a fight that left him with a black eye and a broken nose. Upon returning home, he lied to his parents, stating that he had sledded into a tree.
His parents were devastated to see their son’s condition, leading to arguments between them. Witnessing his parents crying and praying for him one day touched his heart, eventually prompting him to surrender his life to Jesus.
