He didn't grow up believing in God and never expected to become a pastor. A graduate of Dartmouth College, his curiosity about faith began there. In an Intro to World Religions course, he began to sense that there was far more to this life than what meets the eye. After surviving several close calls with death, he is truly grateful for every new day and opportunities to encourage people in their journey. Jesse has served as a college pastor on a major campus (University of Iowa) and in San Diego (North Coast Church). He’s been a pastor in the Bay Area, and now in Seattle Graceinauburn.com He also leads with a citywide gospel movement called Saturate the Sound. It is a collective of 100 churches and ministries committed to seeing a gospel saturation movement happen in the Pacific Northwest. Since the age of three, Jesse's clear desire was to be a professional athlete. He played three sports in high school and was a soccer goalkeeper for two Ivy League championship teams in college. While Jesse was playing for a soccer team in Zimbabwe and tutoring students, he was taking a prescribed drug called Larium to protect against malaria. The dangerous and controversial drug built up toxic levels in his system after several months, and the results were tragic. Fighting for his life the next year, Jesse's career was suddenly taken away because of his health battle. It was a ten year recovery and Jesse learned his deepest lessons in life during this time. Jesse has a popular free marriage course and a new YouTube channel https://youtube.com/c/JesseBradleyChannel Jesse is a global speaker bringing a message of leadership and healing.
