On a mission trip to the Chez Republic at age 17, Jared witnessed a miraculous healing at a tent revival that changed his relationship with Jesus from duty and obligation to passionate, devoted love. Jared returned to the states and began traveling and reaching others with a team of ministers who called themselves Breakthrough. Jared continued his pursuit after God's heart at Christ for the Nations, where he was preparing for youth ministry. It was there that he met his wife Sarah, began ministering to teens, and started a family. Over the last 10 years Jared has spoken at countless youth camps, retreats and services. He also travels the world planting and developing youth ministries and is currently a teacher in the school of youth at Christ for the Nations in Dallas. Jared's heart is to see God move in power that changes stagnant world followers into unstoppable leaders for the kingdom. A leader of leaders, Jared uses his passion and honesty to encourage boys to be men who will lead others into the presence and purposes of God.
