In this episode, we sit down with Jesse Sanchez and hear a powerful testimony of transformation.

Jesse grew up in the streets of Desert Hot Springs, surrounded by poverty, chaos, and a lack of guidance. Searching for identity and control, he started his own gang, drawn in by violence and the lifestyle that came with it. What began as survival quickly turned into a path that led him deeper into trouble, with no clear way out.

Angry at God and blaming his circumstances, Jesse reached a breaking point. In a moment of desperation, he challenged God with a simple but bold prayer: “If You’re real… change me.”

God answered.

Today, Jesse is a pastor, a husband, and a father—serving and reaching people in the very streets he once ran.
