Summary

Jesse Bradley’s journey from professional soccer player to pastor is something that he did not see coming at all. After taking a prescribed medication to prevent malaria in Africa, it built up a toxic level is Jesse's body, taking ten years to recover. This process led to a transformation in Jesse's life, where he now places his identity in God, rather than academics or athletics. Over the course of the episode, Jon and Jesse go in depth discussing identity, faith, and how to reach people in various walks of life.
