Summary
Bryce Crawford went from battling crippling depression and planning to end his life… to becoming one of GenZ's boldest voices for Jesus. At just 21, he's already sharing the gospel at Burning Man, on the streets, and online with millions of viewers.
In this powerful conversation with Lecrae, Bryce opens up about:
- His near-suicide moment on Christmas Day and the unexpected encounter that changed everything
- How Jesus freed him from anxiety and depression
- The heart behind his street evangelism and why he talks to people others avoid
- Gen Z's hunger for spirituality—and the dangers of treating Christianity as just a "vibe"
- Mental health, therapy, and the balance between supernatural healing and practical wisdom
- Navigating digital influence, criticism, and leading with integrity at a young age
This episode is raw, encouraging, and a reminder that God can use anyone—at any age—to shake up the world.
📖 Watch, share, and let Bryce's story challenge you to live unashamed of the gospel.
Let's go to the Deep End!
