He Grew Up Without His Dad, Walked Away from the NFL, and Found What He Was Actually Made to Do

Have you ever prayed for something so specific, so far out of reach, that when it finally happened you almost couldn't believe it? Jason Jackson Jr. grew up without his dad at home, raised by a single mom, watching the people around him make choices he knew would cost them. He poured everything into sports and got close enough to the NFL that scouts were paying attention. But then he walked away. Not because the dream died, but because he wanted to do what he was created to do, not just what people told him he was good at. In 2023, Jason started posting faith content online and it went viral. Now he has well over a million followers across platforms, and the reason is simple: he helps you find something new in a Bible story you may have heard a hundred times. For six weeks, Jason is sitting down with Candace to get into the things that keep people stuck: the situation you can't avoid, the long wait that tests everything you believe, what pride and stubbornness actually cost, and what it looks like to trust God to make a way when you can't see one. New episodes start next Tuesday, along with the brand-new exclusive video series Unfiltered Faith coming to candace.com/together. Life is like a rollercoaster, but it's better when we go through it together!
